Konjac Foods for Weight Control
and Weight Loss

Glucomannan fiber creates a feeling of satiety or fullness through its water-binding effects. Konjac Glucomannan fiber has a strong swelling capacity, is highly absorbent and is the most viscous fiber in nature. When the Konjac fiber enters the stomach and mixes with other foods, the Konjac absorbs a lot of water, forms a soft gel, which helps slow the digestion process and energy absorption. This causes food to take a longer time to pass from the stomach to the small intestine. Konjac fiber expands in the digestive system and gives the feeling that the stomach is full.
