NOW Foods Supplements, Glucomannan (Amorphophallus konjac) 575 mg, Supports Regularity*, Healthy Weight Management*, 180 Veg Capsules

Okay, as someone who was on a GLP-1 and had success with it, this stuff is good. I don't feel as hungry and it works better than standard fiber pills. It's a good idea to ease into it because the fiber content will definitely give you unwanted side effects like diarrhea. Didn't have any issues with nausea, etc. I take it 30mins to an hour before eating and it helps me to feel full for a longer amount of time. For the price, this is the way to go if you want to lose weight but don't want to pay for a GLP-1 or go through the hassle of it. I'll continue to buy this and it seems to help with my sugar cravings too.

Coming from a person who has had their appendix taken out/weak stomach, I was nervous taking these everyday, but two weeks in and already 5 lbs gone! Mind you, I’m only drinking water, way more Whole Foods, no DoorDash or eating out, and when my sweet cravings come I make extra chocolate granola bars or eat a chocolate mint. This is the type of supplement that will work if you work with it. I’ve been taking it twice a day and sometimes it differs depending on the day, but 1 hr after taking the supplement the food noise and my stomach noise goes away. Sometimes after taking it I don’t even want to eat at all. I’m on a 90 day challenge (it ends April 1st lol) so I’ll keep y’all updated. I was 305, now 300 in two weeks!

It has been surpressing my appetite surprisingly. Not really helping with the fiber not sure why but I have barely been trying it for about 5 days

This review is for using this product for improving cholesterol #'s. This is just one of the products I used. I've had mixed results with cholesterol lowering supplements and I have done a lot of research on them in the hopes of avoiding going on a statin. I've taken cholesterol supplements and had my cholesterol go down. I've not taken them and had my cholesterol go up. I've also taken them and seen no change. That being said it is definitely worth a try if you want to improve your lipids and avoid a statin. I was taking this in conjunction with other supplements, all that have some scientific research proving they work. I did see improvements in my lipid panels when I took various supplements but was never able to tell what was helping the most. When I didn't take the supplements my #'s would go up, but lately despite taking all of these supplements my #'s were high and I'm now on a statin and not taking any of them anymore. If you are concerned about your cholesterol I would strongly suggest talking to your Dr about a Coronary Calcium Scan as taking supplements can get fairly expensive. After my last lipid panel results came back elevated I went for the scan and my Dr and I decided to go on a statin instead of spending $750-$1000/year on supplements. For the record my CC Scan cost $100, most insurance will not cover it, but it was the best $100 I have ever spent on health care. For the record I had the best test results when taking the following supplements each day: Flax Oil 2 x 1000mg Krill Oil 2 x 1000mg (fish worked too but I hated the after taste, none of that with krill) TR Niacin 3 x 500mg Sytrinol 2 x 150mg CoQ 10 1 x 100mg Pantethine 3 x 450mg Plant Sterols 3 x 800mg Glucomannan 3 x 1150mg These were all spaced out AM, Lunch, PM. Comparing my worst and best lipid #'s from blood tests from a lab, these supplements did the following: Total - Lowered 60 points - 22% Bad - Lowered 53 points - 27% Good - Increased 15 points - 22% Tri-G's - Lowered 37 points - 25% Good to Tri-G Ratio - Worst was 2.62, while on all these went as low as 1.75 (Harvard Med study lists this as possibly the best predictor of heart attack risk). Ideal is below 2. It should be noted that I rarely eat any meat other than fish/shell fish...rarely eat egg yolks...and have a fairly healthy diet...mainly my lipid issues are genetic.

I had high hopes for glucomannan because of all the benefits I’d read about for appetite control and digestion. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out for me.

I love this stuff! First of all, I've purchased several Now Foods products in the past, and I have never been disappointed. I've purchased some of their other supplements and essential oils, and they are all high quality. I trust Now Foods products without a doubt. So although I was a little unsure of using this new product I had never heard of, I knew if I wanted to give it a shot, this would be a safe brand to try. I purchased this both because I am trying to lose weight but also because I am seeking regularity. I have IBS and it can be a daily struggle. It can really be a hinderance on my life and prevent me from doing things because I am so uncomfortable or just need to be close to a restroom. More often than not, I am on the side of constipation and lots of gas. Before I started taking this, I had terrible gas from lunchtime until I went to bed. I had stomach aches, bloating, all the symptoms. The first day I used this, I started out taking just 1 pill to ease into it, and I immediately noticed a difference that day. I had very little gas and discomfort. The second day, I upped it to 2 pills, and the third day, I upped it to 3. The instructions recommend taking 1-3 pills 1-2 times a day, 30-45 minutes before a meal with 8-10 ounces of water. I usually take it about 30 minutes before my meal with a glass of water, and I also sip on hot tea (as recommended by another reviewer). I take 2 pills in the morning before breakfast and 1 pill before dinner. This has been working wonders for me. I have no more discomfort, no more gas, regular bowel movements, and this all happened immediately upon taking the pill. I can't say whether or not it has helped me lose weight because it was also combined with exercise, diet, and Green Tea Extract pills (also from Now Foods). But I can tell you, this is an excellent solution for those seeking regularity. I've tried a lot of different things to deal with my IBS (gluten free, dairy free, green smoothie cleanse, daily gentle cleanse, melatonin, probiotics, fiber, metamucil, etc etc etc). Some things work temporarily, some things don't work at all, but this has been a great and lasting solution.

Seller was quick and even included a free gift. The pills are great for clearing the colon and is the best out there. It is also a prebiotic.

I received this product, first day I thought I won't be hungry but no difference, I took them 1hr before breakfast. Continued taking pills for 20 days, no difference in the portion of food, instead at night you get a big bloated belly. It's not only making you look slimmer by losing weight, but also make you look even more fat because of bloating. I don't recommend these type of products. Just keep track of what you eat and stay away from all artificial products. Stay healthy.

Good

Als ich von Konjak las, konnte ich mich zuerst nicht zwischen Pulver und Kapseln entscheiden. Dann nahm ich die Kapseln und bin zufrieden. Sie sind zwar groß, aber damit habe ich kein Problem. Schwieriger ist es für mich, danach immer viel zu trinken. Aber nur so kann der Sättigungseffekt eintreten. Und er tritt ein. Bin sehr zufrieden!
