Konjac is a root vegetable native to Asia. It is known for its starchy root tuber. The tuber is a rich source of a soluble dietary fiber called glucomannan.
Konjac is used as a traditional medicine and food source, and in the Western world as a food additive and dietary supplement to lower cholesterol, improve carbohydrate metabolism, and promote bowel function.
Konjac’s high fiber content provides several health benefits.
When mixed with water, glucomannan expands and can absorb up to 50 times its weight. If glucomannan expands before reaching the stomach, it can cause choking or blockage in the throat and esophagus. To prevent this, it should be washed down with at least 1 glass of water or other liquid.
Glucomannan contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels. To achieve this, a minimum of 4 g of glucomannan should be consumed daily.
Glucomannan contributes to weight loss as part of an energy-restricted diet. The beneficial effect is achieved with a daily intake of 3 g of glucomannan, which should be taken as part of an energy-restricted diet in three doses of 1 g each, with 1–2 glasses of water, before meals.
There is a risk of choking if the consumer has difficulty swallowing or tries to take glucomannan with insufficient fluid. It should be taken with plenty of water to ensure that the glucomannan reaches the stomach.
