The main ingredient of Kneipp Satiating is konjac glucomannan, which provides its benefits for weight loss and cardiovascular health.
What is glucomannan?
Glucomannan is a plant fiber obtained from the root of the Amorphophallus Konjac plant. Being highly soluble, it has an exceptional ability to absorb water, allowing it to swell quickly in the stomach, providing a feeling of fullness.
It also increases the viscosity of the gastrointestinal content, which delays gastric emptying from the stomach. At the intestinal level, it reduces the speed of nutrient absorption by forming a barrier that protects against the action of enzymes and hinders their access to the intestinal mucosa.
