The formula is supplemented with green tea extract, Ceylon cinnamon, silver willow bark, and chromium. The product is intended for adults looking for a high-fiber supplement in capsule form. The base is deliberately plant-based, with a fiber as the main ingredient and a few targeted extracts around it. One jar contains 270 capsules, enough for approximately one month at the recommended daily dosage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat glucomannan is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlucomannan is a soluble dietary fiber extracted from the root tuber of the konjac plant (Amorphophallus konjac), a crop that grows mainly in Asia. Glucomannan binds water and swells when it comes into contact with moisture. Therefore, you should always take the capsules with plenty of water. Per daily dose of nine capsules, this formula provides 4500 mg of konjac extract, of which 4275 mg is glucomannan fiber. It is a plant fiber that your body does not digest. You may know the konjac plant without realizing it. Shirataki noodles, the crystal-clear noodles from Asian cuisine that consist almost entirely of this fiber, are made from the same root.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGreen tea extract, Ceylon cinnamon, and silver willow bark\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the fiber base, this formula contains three plant extracts, each with its own background. Green tea extract, with 1125 mg per daily dose, is naturally rich in polyphenols. The best-known of these is EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate, a plant substance characteristic of the leaves of the Camellia sinensis tea plant). Ceylon cinnamon comes from the true cinnamon tree from Sri Lanka. This is not the same as the cheaper cassia cinnamon that you often find in the supermarket. Silver willow bark, or Salix alba, naturally contains salicin. The difference with loose herbal powders lies in the form: here we are talking about extracts, which means the plant substances are more concentrated than in raw herbs. Green tea is made from the unprocessed, non-fermented leaves of the tea plant. That is immediately the difference with black tea, which does undergo a fermentation process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChromium as a trace element in the formula\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChromium has also been added to the formula in the form of chromium picolinate. Chromium is a trace element that occurs in very small amounts in, among others, whole grain products, nuts, meat, and broccoli. In these capsules, it is included as a supplement alongside the plant extracts. Good to know: the manufacturer does not list the exact amount of chromium, Ceylon cinnamon, and silver willow bark separately on the label. Therefore, in the table below you will only find the dosages that German Elite Nutrition does specify, namely the konjac extract with glucomannan and the green tea extract.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan capsules without unnecessary additives\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsules themselves are made of HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), a plant-based alternative to the gelatin found in many other capsules. This makes the product suitable for vegans and vegetarians. German Elite Nutrition has deliberately kept the composition clean. It contains no magnesium stearate, no artificial colors or flavorings, and no preservatives. The product is gluten-free and lactose-free and is produced in Germany according to the quality standards applicable there. What you are left with is a straightforward, plant-based fiber formula with a few targeted botanical extracts: konjac fiber as a base, supplemented with green tea, cinnamon, willow bark, and chromium, packaged in a capsule that you can easily swallow with a glass of water.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"German Elite Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50127339422034,"sku":"gen-103","price":27.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/Eetlustremmer-270Capsules.jpg?v=1737467352","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.nl\/en\/products\/glucomannan-complex-270-capsules-german-elite-nutrition","provider":"LUTO Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
