Just wondered if anyone else had tried this?

Apparently it is fibre from the Konjac root (similar to Konjac noodles / zero noodles (I think)

Today I am trying it for the first time. I had the dose recommended on the bottle which is 6 capsules with a large glass of water, with a meal (I had some muesli) at around 10am and now it is after 4pm and not feeling hungry.

Think I might keep a diary just to see how this goes. I was a bit worried the fibre might have some bad digestive effects or cramping etc but so far nothing at all.

If it keeps going like this I may try combining it with 2 meals a day. / 16:8 fasting

The dosage for 6 capsules (one serving) is 3000mg, it also contains Choline, Vitamin B3, Chromium and Vitamin D3.

There seems to be some evidence the fibre included can help with lowering cholesterol.

Orangesandlemons77, I’ve been researching weight loss aids and came across glucomannan. Am planning to purchase, but as it has been close to a year since you started on it I am wondering how it worked out for you? Hope you’ll come back and update.
