KONJAK

Konjac or Amorphophallus konjac is a plant from the Araceae family, native to Southeast Asia. Its tuber has been used for culinary and therapeutic purposes for several centuries. In Western countries, konjac is mainly known for its natural appetite-suppressing effect in phytotherapy. Rich in fiber and low in calories, konjac is often recommended as part of a weight loss diet.

Studies on konjac have shown high levels of glucomannan, a unique soluble fiber. Within the fiber family, this substance has one of the highest molecular weights and one of the highest viscosities. These properties give glucomannan many beneficial effects on the body. Its structure makes it possible to increase the feeling of satiety.
