Konjac-root fibre that expands in the stomach for appetite control

We rank Glucomannan by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.

What it is

Glucomannan is a type of dietary fibre that comes from the root of the konjac plant. It is known for its ability to absorb large amounts of water, which causes it to expand and turn into a gel-like substance inside the stomach.

Why it's used

It is primarily used for appetite control. Because the fibre expands in the stomach, it helps the user feel full for longer, which can make it easier to eat less during the day.

How it's made

The process begins by harvesting the konjac root, which is then cleaned and dried. The root is ground into a fine powder, and the glucomannan fibre is extracted and refined to create the final supplement powder used in capsules or sachets.

What it typically costs

This ingredient is generally mid-range in price. This is because the raw konjac root requires specific growing conditions and a multi-step refining process to isolate the fibre, making it more costly to produce than basic fillers but cheaper than rare synthetic compounds.
