Konjac

Discover the benefits of Konjac

In addition to being an ally for weight-loss diets (low-calorie diets), konjac is also a food supplement that can be used to maintain normal cholesterol levels².

What is Konjac?

Konjac (Amorphophallus konjac K. Koch) is a tuber that grows in Southeast Asia, specifically in the tropical forests of areas such as China, Japan, Vietnam and Indonesia. It belongs to the Araceae family and for centuries has been used naturally for its interesting nutritional properties.

The root of this plant contains in its composition almost 100% fibre, making it a very filling and digestive food¹.

What is the main property of konjac?

Konjac has the property of being rich in glucomannan, a dietary fibre found in the root in a very high percentage.

Glucomannan is one of the most viscous fibres available thanks to its great capacity to absorb water. When hydrated, this fibre increases in volume, forming a gel in the stomach that creates a feeling of fullness and reduces appetite.¹

What are the benefits of glucomannan?

Glucomannan is a soluble fibre which, depending on the dose taken, provides two important benefits²: helping with weight loss and controlling cholesterol.

Glucomannan as a natural aid for weight reduction²

How can glucomannan help with weight loss? Its consumption has the following effects:

• Satiety effect

  When hydrated, glucomannan acquires a greater volume which, upon reaching the stomach, immediately creates the sensation of having eaten more than has actually been consumed, as it is very low in calories. This allows you to feel satisfied for longer and thus improve weight control.¹

• Slimming effect

  When taken over a prolonged period, konjac may have slimming effects, as people perceive that taking it improves their digestion, leading them to try to consume more fibre and less fat.^1,2

• For digestion

  As it is a fibre, it has digestive properties that are easy to assimilate. This means it aids digestion without causing heaviness.

Glucomannan contributes to maintaining normal cholesterol levels

• Glucomannan regulates cholesterol levels, thereby supporting heart health².

In this case, to achieve this benefit it is necessary to take 4 g of glucomannan per day.
