Konjac Glucomannan
soluble fibre from Amorphophallus konjac root
The best-evidenced ingredient in the formula, and the one where the missing amount matters most. Glucomannan is exceptionally viscous: it absorbs water and slows gastric emptying, which is a real satiety mechanism. The European Food Safety Authority accepted a weight-loss claim for it — but tied that claim to 3 g a day, taken as three 1 g doses with water before meals, alongside a calorie-restricted diet. Three grams is a large amount of powder; it is not something a single small capsule shared with three other ingredients can plausibly contain.
