Function of Konjac Gum Glucomannan
As an excellent source of soluble dietary fiber, konjac gum offers multiple health benefits:
Weight Management and Satiety: Konjac Glucomannan (KGM) is very low in calories and has strong water-absorbing properties, expanding 80-100 times in volume after absorbing water . It can expand 20-100 times in the stomach upon absorbing gastric juices, creating a feeling of fullness and helping to reduce food intake .
