konjac fiber supplement glucomannan root benefits healthy
May Reduce Cholesterol and Blood Sugar
Glucomannan forms a layer around food, inhibiting the absorption of cholesterol and bile acid. Because glucomannan causes slower stomach emptying and delays glucose circulation in the intestines, soluble dietary fibers, including glucomannan, have beneficial effects on blood sugar levels.
Using glucomannan as a supplement has been shown to reduce blood glucose and cholesterol levels in healthy individuals as well as those with diabetes. This reduction is due to the slowed stomach emptying leading to higher absorption rates of nutrients by the small intestine, increasing insulin sensitivity. Slower absorption of sugars means lower blood sugar elevation, an essential factor in controlling diabetes.
May Relieve Constipation
Soluble fiber such as that found in glucomannan improves digestion. The recommended total intake of dietary fiber is around 25 to 30 grams per day with 6 to 8 grams from soluble fiber.
Glucomannan is an excellent source of soluble fiber, making it a wise choice for helping treat chronic constipation. One teaspoon of glucomannan powder contains 4 grams of fiber and is considered safe for short-term use even by children and those who are pregnant.
Another way that glucomannan can help relieve constipation is through its prebiotic properties. Glucomannan has been shown to stimulate the growth of Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli in constipated adults. Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli growth due to glucomannan intake has been demonstrated to improve bowel movements.
Glucomannan supplements are generally considered safe when taken short-term as directed. However, there is not much known about the safety of using glucomannan as a health supplement long-term. Common side effects mostly include gastrointestinal issues such as increased gas, diarrhea, bloating, and stomach pain.
