The label serving of 3 capsules provides 1,725 mg (1.725 g). The label allows 3 capsules once or twice a day, so the maximum daily amount is 6 capsules, or 3,450 mg (3.45 g) of glucomannan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\" id=\"nglu-what-is-glucomannan\"\u003eWhat is glucomannan, and is it the same as konjac?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eGlucomannan is a soluble dietary fibre made of glucose and mannose sugar units. It is extracted from the root (corm) of the konjac plant, \u003cem\u003eAmorphophallus konjac\u003c\/em\u003e, which is grown in East Asia. Konjac is the plant and glucomannan is the fibre taken from its root, so products labelled konjac root, konjac fibre or konjac mannan usually describe the same ingredient. Glucomannan absorbs many times its own volume of water and forms a thick gel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\" id=\"nglu-claim\"\u003eWhat does glucomannan do?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eGlucomannan holds an authorised EU health claim: glucomannan in the context of an energy restricted diet contributes to weight loss. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3 g of glucomannan in three doses of 1 g each, together with 1-2 glasses of water, before meals and in the context of an energy-restricted diet.

Glucomannan swells when it meets liquid. If it is swallowed with too little water it can swell in the throat and cause blockage or choking.

They also come in different formats: this product is a capsule, while psyllium husks and inulin are most often sold as powders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\" id=\"nglu-vegan\"\u003eIs it suitable for vegetarians and vegans?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eThe capsule shell is hypromellose (plant cellulose), not gelatine, and the stearic acid is from a vegetable source.
