This supplement supports overall weight loss by soaking up water located within the digestive tract, and reducing levels of cholesterol and carbohydrate absorption. Not only does glucomannan work its magic within the digestive track, it also has the ability to keep you feeling fuller for longer without the bloated and gassy aftermath that you receive after eating many different varieties of foods. Glucomannan can be consumed in three different formats, keep in mind one isn’t better than the other, and it’s all about personal preference.

Glucomannan Powder
If you are a morning smoothie kind of person, you will love glucomannan powder since you can easily add it to your favorite smoothie. In addition, this powder can easily be added to other drinks, all sorts of foods, and even sauces.

Glucomannan Noodles
Also known as “shirataki”, you can find these noodles made from glucomannan at local markets, natural food stores, and even online. Chewing on glucomannan will keep you feeling fuller longer, and ultimately leading to increased weight loss. Enjoy these noodles by boiling then add to your favorite pasta or salad.
