Derived from the konjac plant (Amorphophallus konjac), this water-soluble dietary fiber is prized for its high viscosity, low-calorie content, and gut health benefits. Ideal for gluten-free formulations or biodegradable materials, Glucomannan Konjac Root Powder offers versatility across industries—from thickening vegan foods to enhancing supplement capsules.
1.Powerfully Increases Satiety: When in contact with water, it absorbs dozens of times its own weight in water, expanding into a gel-like state in the stomach, taking up space. This significantly reduces hunger and helps control food intake.
2.Assists Weight Management: By enhancing satiety and reducing calorie intake, it is an effective aid in weight loss programs.
3.Regulates Blood Lipids: It binds to bile acids (synthesized from cholesterol) in the intestines and excretes them out of the body, forcing the body to use cholesterol in the blood to produce new bile acids, helping to lower total cholesterol and "bad" cholesterol (LDL) levels.
4.Stabilizes Blood Sugar: The gel it forms slows gastric emptying and slows sugar absorption in the intestines, preventing a sharp rise in blood sugar after meals, making it beneficial for diabetics.
5.Improves Intestinal Health and Promotes Laxative Effects: As a high-quality prebiotic, it is fermented and utilized by beneficial intestinal bacteria, promoting a healthy microbiome. Furthermore, its absorption of water softens stools, effectively relieving and preventing constipation.
