How to take glucomannan?
Take 2 capsules, 3 times a day, before each meal, with 1 to 2 glasses of water. This generous amount of water is important: it ensures the fibre only swells in your stomach and not before.

Glucomannan with chromium from konjac root
These capsules combine glucomannan from konjac root with the trace element chromium. Glucomannan is a water-soluble dietary fibre naturally found in konjac root, a tuber from East Asia also known as devil's tongue. The fibre itself provides almost no calories and can bind a lot of water. For this exact reason, many people who are mindful of their diet choose a glucomannan supplement.
Glucomannan in an energy-restricted diet
Take your glucomannan with plenty of water before a meal, and it will swell in your stomach. In the context of an energy-restricted diet, glucomannan contributes to weight loss. Note the latter: the effect is part of a low-calorie diet, not a continuation of unchanged eating habits. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3 grams of glucomannan, divided into three 1-gram doses, each with 1 to 2 glasses of water before a meal, in combination with an energy-restricted diet. A daily dose of this product (3 x 2 capsules) provides 4 grams. Take the capsules with plenty of water, at least 1 to 2 glasses per dose, and not just before bedtime. Without enough fluid, the fibre can swell too early, which is uncomfortable and, in the worst case, poses a risk of choking. The weight claim is expressly linked to an energy-restricted diet: the diet itself remains the foundation.
Why chromium has been added
In addition to the fibre, each daily dose contains 100 micrograms of chromium in the form of chromium picolinate. Chromium is a trace element that your body only needs in small amounts and that you normally obtain from your diet. Chromium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood sugar levels and a normal metabolism of macronutrients, i.e. the processing of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
4 grams of glucomannan per day
A daily dose contains 4 grams of glucomannan. Glucomannan contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 4 grams of glucomannan, and that is exactly what this product provides.
A pure, vegan formula
The composition is deliberately short. You will find standardised konjac root extract with 95% glucomannan, a plant-based hydroxypropyl methylcellulose capsule shell, and chromium picolinate. Nothing else. It contains no magnesium stearate, bulking agents, colourings, or preservatives, and the product is vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free, and GMO-free. Vit4ever uses extract instead of cheaper konjac powder, so the amount of glucomannan per capsule is fixed instead of varying from jar to jar. The jar itself is made of bioplastic, a slightly more sustainable choice than standard plastic. With loose konjac powders, the glucomannan content is often not guaranteed.
In short, this is a glucomannan supplement with chromium, for use as part of a low-calorie diet. The capsules are available in a jar of 180 or 240 pieces, sufficient for 30 and 40 days respectively at the full daily dose of 6 capsules. Always drink plenty of water with it.
Why Glucomannan from Vit4ever?
4000 mg glucomannan per day
A daily dose of 6 capsules provides 4000 mg of glucomannan from konjac root extract with 95% glucomannan. This amount significantly exceeds the quantity required for the European health claims.
Supplemented with chromium
Each daily dose contains 100 micrograms of chromium as chromium picolinate. Chromium contributes to the normal metabolism of macronutrients.
Extract, not cheap powder
Standardized konjac root extract with 95% glucomannan is used, not loose konjac powder. This ensures the fixed amount of active fiber per capsule.
Vegan and sustainably packaged
The capsules are plant-based (HPMC) and free of magnesium stearate, fillers, colourants and preservatives. The jar is made from bioplastic.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does glucomannan really help with weight loss?
Glucomannan contributes to weight loss in the context of an energy-restricted diet. It is therefore a tool to be used alongside a low-calorie diet, not a miracle cure that does the work on its own.
Why should I drink a lot of water with it?
Glucomannan binds a lot of moisture and swells considerably. If you drink too little, the fiber can swell in your throat or esophagus, which carries a risk of choking. Therefore, never take the capsules without plenty of water or just before going to sleep.
What is the difference between the 180 and 240 capsule jars?
Only the number of capsules, the formula is identical. At 6 capsules per day, a 180-capsule jar lasts for 30 days and a 240-capsule jar for 40 days.
What does chromium do in this product?
Chromium is a trace element. Chromium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels and to the normal metabolism of macronutrients, such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
Is konjac extract better than konjac powder?
With a standardized extract of 95% glucomannan, you get a fixed, high amount of active fiber per capsule. With regular konjac powder, the glucomannan content is often lower and varies more.
