FAQs
Why do I need so much water?
Glucomannan absorbs water and expands, which is how it creates a feeling of fullness. The label requires at least 240 ml of water with each dose to swallow it safely.
How should I start?
Begin with 1 capsule before each of three meals. If you feel no discomfort, work up gradually to 2 capsules before each meal.
Can I take it with my medications?
Take Glucomannan+ 2 hours apart from other medications, since the fibre can slow how quickly things pass through the digestive tract.
