Glucomannan from Konjac root
.Cressana Konjac Fit contains glucomannan from konjac root. Glucomannan helps maintain normal blood cholesterol levels and prevents cravings by keeping blood sugar levels normal.
The konjac plant (Amorphophallus konjac) is the source of glucomannan. Konjac flour is extracted from the ground and dried rootstock of the Konjac plant. This flour is particularly rich in glucomannan.
Glucomannan has one of the highest reported water-binding capacities of any natural product: it can bind up to 100 times its own weight in water. Hence its use in diet products. Konjac extract, which is rich in glucomannan, is usually dissolved in water and drunk before a meal. The high water-binding capacity of glucomannan causes the water in the stomach to "thicken." It creates a highly viscous liquid that leads to a prolonged feeling of satiety.
