Why use MGD's Konjac Plus?

Konjac, to moderate appetite and limit caloric intake. Food supplement indicated for weight control.

Konjac, Amorphophallus konjac, is a perennial herbaceous plant from the Araceae family. It develops from a spherical tuberous rhizome that can weigh 3 to 4 kg and reach 25 cm in diameter. Konjac grows naturally in the forests of Asia (Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, South Korea, and Southern China) where it is cultivated as a vegetable. Although widespread in several Asian countries, konjac is mainly consumed and cooked in Japan for the preparation of drinks and various noodles.

The main component of the konjac tuber is glucomannan, a polysaccharide and high molecular weight dietary fiber. Water-soluble, glucomannan swells and forms a gel in the stomach when absorbed, thus providing a rapid feeling of fullness.

In 2012, European health authorities (EFSA, European Food Safety Authority and the European Commission) considered, after reviewing scientific data, that konjac glucomannan, consumed as part of a low-calorie diet, contributes to weight loss*.

* The beneficial effect is obtained by a daily consumption of 3 grams of glucomannan in three doses of 1 gram each, taken with 1 to 2 glasses of water, before meals and as part of a low-calorie diet.
