Konjac glucomannan (KGM) comes from the whole plant Amorphophallus konjac source and contains approximately 40-60% glucomannan, along with cellulose, starch, protein, soluble sugars, and other compounds. It works primarily through mechanical means - the intact polymer swells and jellifies in the gut, promoting satiety and slowing gastric emptying. This makes it effective for weight loss and immediate glucose control. Due to its water solubility it forms highly viscous gels
Glucomannan is the specific dietary fiber extracted from the plant's root bulb and is the purified functional component.
