How glucomannan works

Glucomannan is a natural dietary fibre extracted from the root of the konjac plant — a staple of Asian cuisine for centuries. It works by absorbing water in your stomach, expanding to create a gel-like substance that helps you feel full.

When taken before meals with a full glass of water, glucomannan can reduce appetite and support portion control. Over time, this can contribute to a steady, moderate reduction in body weight — particularly when combined with a calorie-controlled diet and regular activity.

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved glucomannan as one of the few fibre supplements with a recognised health claim for weight management in overweight adults at a daily dose of 3g.

Who should not take glucomannan

Easy to take, every day

Take 1g with a full glass of water (at least 250ml), 30 minutes before each main meal

Take up to three times daily (maximum 3g per day)

Always drink plenty of water to help the fibre expand safely

If you take other medications, leave a 30–60 minute gap before taking glucomannan

Do not exceed the recommended daily dose

It is essential to take glucomannan with a sufficient amount of water. Taking without adequate fluids may cause the capsule to swell before it reaches the stomach. Not suitable for children under 12, or for those who have difficulty swallowing.
