Konjac root is the source of one of nature's most beneficial soluble fibers—glucomannan. It can actually absorb and hold water up to 100 times its own weight! Konjac makes an excellent bulk-forming agent and may have a positive influence on blood sugar levels by delaying stomach emptying. Along with healthy diet and exercise, these actions also promote healthy cholesterol levels already within the normal range, thereby supporting cardiovascular health. If you're looking for a konjac fiber supplement that's more than just bulk, try Swanson Glucomannan.
Konjac glucomannan has been studied for its benefits to metabolic health, indicating that consistent supplementation of 5+ grams per day helps to reduce BMI, weight, and waist circumference, and promotes satiety (fullness) which works to reduce appetite and caloric intake.1
Fiber such as glucomannan is an excellent companion to a GLP-1 weight management journey! Not only does it support satiety to help you manage your food intake, it also acts as a prebiotic, contributing to a diverse microbiome. This boosts gut health and activity, and helps maintain blood sugar and blood lipid levels already within the normal range.
Adding Fiber to Your Routine? Prime Your Gut for Success
You’re doing right by your body and trying to intake more fiber. Unfortunately too much fiber too soon—or in a microbiome that isn’t ready for it—can lead to digestive discomfort. We want to set you up for success, so here are some tips for adding fiber and sticking with it.
First, add fermented foods (think yogurt, sauerkraut or kimchi) to the menu for a couple of weeks. This essentially primes your gut with more abundance and variety of good bacteria species that can then help you break down additional fiber.2
Next, start with a smaller dose of fiber and work your way up. For example, if a serving is two gummies, start with just one; if it’s one capsule three times a day, start with one capsule once a day. Gradually increase until you’re at the full recommended serving.
Lastly, as always, drink plenty of water throughout the day to support hydration and gut motility.

FAQ
- How does glucomannan support feelings of fullness?
Glucomannan is a highly viscous soluble fiber derived from the konjac root. When mixed with water, it forms a gel-like substance in the stomach that increases the volume of stomach contents and slows gastric emptying. This helps promote feelings of fullness and satiety, making it easier to manage appetite as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. - How does glucomannan support healthy cholesterol levels already within the normal range?
As a soluble fiber, glucomannan forms a viscous gel in the digestive tract that can bind bile acids. Because bile acids are made from cholesterol, the body uses cholesterol to produce more bile, helping support healthy cholesterol metabolism. Combined with a heart-healthy diet, glucomannan helps maintain cholesterol levels already within the normal range. - When is the best time to take glucomannan?
For best results, take glucomannan about 30 to 60 minutes before meals with a full glass of water, or as directed on the product label. Taking it before eating allows the fiber to absorb water and form a gel in the stomach, helping support feelings of fullness and healthy digestion. Because glucomannan expands as it absorbs water, it should always be taken with adequate fluids. - Is Swanson Glucomannan suitable for special diets?
Swanson Glucomannan is made with non-GMO ingredients and is formulated without dairy. It is not suitable for vegan or vegetarian lifestyles because it contains a gelatin capsule. This product is also not formulated or certified to be gluten free, so individuals with gluten sensitivities should review the ingredient list before use.
