Now Foods - Glucomannan, 575 mg, 180 Capsules

Description:

Now Foods Glucomannan 575 mg is a dietary fiber supplement designed to support digestive health, weight management, and healthy cholesterol levels as part of a balanced diet and active lifestyle. Each capsule provides 575 mg of glucomannan, a water-soluble fiber derived from the konjac root, which swells in the stomach when taken with sufficient water to promote a feeling of fullness and help control appetite. This supplement is intended for adults seeking natural support for regular bowel movements, intestinal health, and satiety, and is classified as a nutritional supplement, not a medication.

Indications:

• Supports digestive health and overall intestinal function
• Aids in weight management when combined with a calorie-controlled diet and exercise
• Helps promote a feeling of fullness and reduced appetite
• Supports regular bowel movements and relief from occasional constipation
• Helps support healthy cholesterol levels already within the normal range
• Provides additional soluble fiber for individuals with low dietary fiber intake

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Glucomannan (from konjac root) – 575 mg per capsule
• Other ingredients (capsule and excipients): exact capsule composition (e.g., gelatin or vegetable capsule, fillers, anti-caking agents) is not specified in the provided information and is therefore unavailable.
