NOW Foods Glucomannan Pure Powder
Description
NOW Glucomannan Pure Powder is a soluble, bulk-forming fiber from konjac root for people who want a simple fiber supplement to mix into water or a shake before meals. The powder contains no other added ingredients.
Each 1/2 teaspoon (about 2 g) serving provides 2 g of glucomannan fiber, contributing 5 calories and 2 g of total carbohydrate, all of it as dietary fiber.
Take 1/2 teaspoon one to two times daily with at least 8 oz of water, 30 to 45 minutes before a meal, since the fiber needs enough liquid to work as intended. The powder is Intertek GMP certified, Non-GMO, Kosher (Triangle K), Halal, keto-friendly, and vegan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to drink so much water with this?
Glucomannan swells significantly when it absorbs liquid, and NOW warns that without enough water it can swell in the throat and cause blockage or choking, so always take it with a full glass of water.
Should I take this with food?
Take it 30 to 45 minutes before a meal, not with food, so it has time to begin absorbing water first.
Who should not take this?
NOW advises against this product for anyone with esophageal narrowing or difficulty swallowing, and adults only; consult a physician if pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or managing a medical condition.
How is this different from NOW's Glucomannan 575 mg capsules?
This is a pure powder you mix with water, while the capsule version delivers glucomannan in a pre-measured capsule; the two are separate NOW products.
Can I take this if I'm managing my weight?
Glucomannan supports satiety, which some people use as part of a weight management plan alongside a healthy diet and exercise; it is not a stand-alone weight-loss product.
