Glucomannan is high in fiber, essential for cleaning the digestive system. Glucomannan is taken from the Konnyaku root and is from the same family as the yam, which is 100 percent natural dietary fiber without calories. Since lack of fiber is a major cause for the high incidence of growing gastrointestinal disorders, it is a valuable herb.
Glucomannan helps reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels, helps maintain regularity and promotes bowel health. It helps to normalize blood sugar, reduce fat absorption, promotes weight loss, relieves stress on the pancreas and discourages blood sugar abnormalities, such as hypoglycemia. Glucomannan absorbs toxic substances produced during digestion and elimination. It binds toxic material and eliminates them before they can be absorbed into the blood stream. Glucomannan acts as a prevention of chronic disease and a weight control agent. As a diet aid, it expands to about 50 times its original volume when used with a large glass of water. It has also been shown to have efficacy for atheroslerosis, hemorrhoids, constipation, high blood pressure, diabetes, hypoglycemia, digestive problems, obesity, diverticular disease, and the pancreas to reduce stress.

Directions
Take 2 capsules 1 hour before meals with a large glass of water. May be taken before 3-4 meals each day.
Ingredients
Glucomannan - 500 mg
This product contains no Artificial Preservatives, Color, Milk, Soya, Corn, Wheat or Yeast.
Cautions
Like other soluble fibers, glucomannan has the potential to bind with and reduce the absorption of certain nutrients - so a daily multivitamin supplement may be advisable for individuals consuming high doses of glucomannan on a regular basis. In high doses, glucomannan may lead to diarrhea, bloating and flatulence - but cutting back the dose relieves these unpleasant side effects.
Additional Information

I had been researching konjac root, and had looked for glucommanan everywhere and finally found it HERE at Zooscape!
It helps you feel full without making you feel bloated, helped me meet weight loss goals, fiber intake requirements, and through my own study disolving the capsules in a glass of water was amazed to see their expansion properties!

side effect of acne?
Has anyone had a side effect of acne from this product? shortly after starting it, I did get acne...
[Editor: It probably was not caused by the Glucomannan. In fact, some suggest that Glucomannan will reduce acne, not cause it. It you search on the internet, you will find multiple instances where individual reviewers discuss the use of Glucomannan for acne.]
