Composition:
Each
bottle t contains: Konjac powder 200 gram
Action:
Glucomannan, the main ingredient of
Konjac powder, is a polysaccharide, which means that chemically
it is made up of simple sugars-specifically, mannose and glucose.
It is also a soluble fiber and can absorb up to 200 times
its weight in water.
Glucomannan
reduces blood fats, discourages weight gain, helps to keep
blood sugar levels normal, and relieves constipation. When
ingested, it takes on a jelly-like consistency and expands
to make the stomach feel full. People are therefore sated
more quickly and are less likely to overeat, according to
results of trials in which obese patients were put on calorie-restricted
diets and glucomannan. In addition, like most food fiber,
glucomannan acts as a bulking agent in the colon, which stimulates
peristalsis (the muscular movement that causes bowel evacuation).
Glucomannan is already available as a dietary supplement.
Asian women have claimed for years that it helps them maintain
a desired weight, and more and more Americans are determined
to find out if it's true.
Clinical
studies confirm that glucomannan in konjac powder lowers cholesterol—both
total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol—without
affecting diastolic blood pressure.
When
given to obese children, konjac glucomannan (KG) decreased
cholesterol and triglyceride levels significantly, without
any negative effects. Obese adults who took 1 gram KG with
8 ounces of water one hour before meals three times a day
for eight weeks reported an average weight loss of 5.5 pounds,
and overall reductions in total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol
levels.
In one double-blind trial,
ten days of treatment with KG returned the bowel habits of
patients with chronic constipation to normal. Another study
showed that patients given either 3 or 4 grams daily noted
an average increase of three and six more bowel movements
per week, respectively, without additional diarrhea or flatulence.
Konjac glucomannan helped to
keep glucose at optimal levels in baboon blood, suggesting
that KG may help control glucose levels in diabetics. A recent
study indicates that this is likely to be true: When used
along with conventional treatment, KG not only helped normalize
and maintain blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes,
it also lowered both cholesterol and systolic blood pressure.
Experimental studies also indicate
that KG may protect against certain types of cancer. When
elderly people are given glucomannan,the bacteria in the gut
changes and encourages the growth of the so-called "good
bacteria" such as Bifidobacterium. Increases in good
bacteria are associated with a reduction in pro-cancerous
nitrosamines, proteins thought to be responsible for the development
of liver cancer and other cancers. Good bacteria also encourage
better gut motility—motion, including peristalsis that
leads to a bowel movement — thereby helping to move
waste products out of the body before they can promote cancer
or other illnesses.
Studies on
diabetic rats indicate that long-term supplementation with
konjac glucomannan may help prevent heart attacks and strokes
in people who have diabetes. In diabetic rats put on diets
high in cholesterol, glucomannan prevented the formation of
aortal plaques, deposits that increase heart disease risk.
Glucomannan may do this in humans, too, by reducing LDL cholesterol
and blood sugar levels.
