What is Glucomannan?
Glucomannan is a natural polysaccharide that helps to lose weight. In addition, it helps to lower blood sugar levels and relieve constipation.
Benefits of Glucomannan
Glucomannan is known for its appetite suppressant effect. This makes the process of losing weight easier. Glucomannan is obtained from a plant that grows in Japan. It absorbs water from the stomach and becomes a gel-like substance in the stomach.
As a result, nutrients are absorbed more slowly and the time taken to empty the stomach is longer. This makes it feel like the stomach is constantly full.
Uses of Glucomannan
Glucomannan is used to facilitate weight loss and normalize blood cholesterol levels. For food supplements, it is usually processed into a powder that can be mixed with water.
Glucomannan is usually taken up to 2 times a day before meals. It is important to drink enough water while taking the polysaccharide.
Glucomannan side effects and overdose
Glucomannan in tablet form may cause dry throat and cough. Glucomannan is likely to be safe for children in powder and capsule form, but it is not recommended for them to take the tablets. These can cause problems in the throat and gastrointestinal tract.
