Konjac
Konjac supplements are derived from the root of Amorphophallus konjac, a plant native to Asia that is rich in glucomannan, a naturally sourced dietary fibre. This category covers konjac-based food supplements available in formats such as capsules, powders and meal-replacement style products, suited to adults looking to increase their daily fibre intake as part of a varied and balanced diet.
Glucomannan, the active fibre in konjac, is well studied and holds authorised health claims under EU Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. When consumed as 1 g with each of three main meals alongside adequate water, glucomannan contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels. Additionally, glucomannan contributes to weight management when taken as 1 g three times per day with water before meals, as part of an energy-restricted diet. When choosing a konjac supplement, check the glucomannan content per serving to ensure the product delivers the levels used in EFSA-assessed research.
