Konjac Flour,China N/A price supplier

Glucomannan is a water-soluble dietary fiber, extracted from the roots of the elephant yam, also known as konjacIt promote weight loss via several mechanisms

• It has a very low calorie content.
• It takes up space in the stomach and promotes a feeling of fullness, reducing food intake at a subsequent meal.
• It delays emptying of the stomach, contributing to increased satiety.
• Like other soluble fibers, it reduces the absorption of fat.

It also feeds the friendly bacteria in the intestine, which turn it into short-chain fatty acids like butyrate, shown to protect against fat gain.Feeding the friendly gut bacteria may also have other benefits, and some studies have shown a correlation between altered gut bacteria and body weight. These mechanisms are believed to be similar to the effects of other soluble fibers on weight loss.  However, glucomannan is different from other soluble fibers because it's even more viscous, which makes it particularly effective.
