What Is Glucomannan?

This extract expands in the stomach as it absorbs water, helping you to feel fuller for longer.

Is Glucomannan Good For Weight Loss?
So, does glucomannan work? Studies conducted on 176 overweight people compared glucomannan to a placebo whilst on a calorie-restricted diet. After 5 weeks, weight loss was significantly higher for those consuming glucomannan than those taking the placebo. 2
In a second study on 20 subjects, glucomannan was given to the obese individuals along with instruction to make no changes to their exercise or eating habits. The results showed an average 5.5 lbs weight loss as well as a reduction in blood cholesterol levels. 3Try Glucomannan for yourself here:
