NOW Foods Supplements, Glucomannan (Amorphophallus konjac) 575 mg, Supports Regularity*, Healthy Weight Management*, 180 Veg Capsules

I’ve been taking these for the last few days and my bowl movements have been on point. I struggled with that. Bloat is gone also. Does make me feel fuller when normally I would keep on eating.

These are excellent I have found the best way to take them which is opening the capsules and mixing it with orange juice. Mix it up really good like an apple sauce consistency and enjoy. Drink plenty of water and watch the progress 🎉

This review is for using this product for improving cholesterol #'s. This is just one of the products I used.I've had mixed results with cholesterol lowering supplements and I have done a lot of research on them in the hopes of avoiding going on a statin. I've taken cholesterol supplements and had my cholesterol go down. I've not taken them and had my cholesterol go up. I've also taken them and seen no change. That being said it is definitely worth a try if you want to improve your lipids and avoid a statin.I was taking this in conjunction with other supplements, all that have some scientific research proving they work. I did see improvements in my lipid panels when I took various supplements but was never able to tell what was helping the most. When I didn't take the supplements my #'s would go up, but lately despite taking all of these supplements my #'s were high and I'm now on a statin and not taking any of them anymore. If you are concerned about your cholesterol I would strongly suggest talking to your Dr about a Coronary Calcium Scan as taking supplements can get fairly expensive. After my last lipid panel results came back elevated I went for the scan and my Dr and I decided to go on a statin instead of spending $750-$1000/year on supplements. For the record my CC Scan cost $100, most insurance will not cover it, but it was the best $100 I have ever spent on health care.For the record I had the best test results when taking the following supplements each day:Flax Oil 2 x 1000mgKrill Oil 2 x 1000mg (fish worked too but I hated the after taste, none of that with krill)TR Niacin 3 x 500mgSytrinol 2 x 150mgCoQ 10 1 x 100mgPantethine 3 x 450mgPlant Sterols 3 x 800mgGlucomannan 3 x 1150mgThese were all spaced out AM, Lunch, PM.Comparing my worst and best lipid #'s from blood tests from a lab, these supplements did the following:Total - Lowered 60 points - 22%Bad - Lowered 53 points - 27%Good - Increased 15 points - 22%Tri-G's - Lowered 37 points - 25%Good to Tri-G Ratio - Worst was 2.62, while on all these went as low as 1.75 (Harvard Med study lists this as possibly the best predictor of heart attack risk). Ideal is below 2.It should be noted that I rarely eat any meat other than fish/shell fish...rarely eat egg yolks...and have a fairly healthy diet...mainly my lipid issues are genetic.

This was amazing and scary for me. First day I took one with a .8oz bottle of water. It was ok but it took an hour for me to feel full. The next day I took two pills in the morning at 9:30am drink coffee and worked my 8 hour shift. I didn’t feel hungry so I didn’t eat lunch. It was 4:17pm when everything was going wrong I broke out in a full sweat and started feeling dizzy. My sugar dropped and the first thing I thought was I haven’t eaten all day. I don’t eat after 8pm. This needs to be used with caution. I never felt any hunger pains not even felt hungry. I was sweating so bad I sat down and then I felt hungry. I quickly brought a candy bar and ate half. I’m not diabetic nor am I hypoglycemia. This scared me so I continued to use it but I scheduled my meals. My third day was amazing I took two pills ate oatmeal and coffee,lunch tuna salad with lemonade and dinner I took one pill then ate 1 cup of chicken broccoli and rice with lemonade. Each time I couldn’t finish my food. I didn’t snack at all. Once I start working out while taking these pills I will make sure I’m eating enough as well. Again I was nervous about the reviews but this brand ain’t to be played with please use with caution. If you want to loose weight and stop over eating this is the best option on Amazon. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Take this with a lot of water, 1 capsule at a time. I took all 3 and then water and realized 15-20 minutes after that they had not gone all the way down, and were stuck at the bottom of my esophagus. I could not keep anything down, or move the bolus stuck there. Any food, water, tea, etc. came back up after lots of minor chest pain flares when trying to move the food and hydrated capsules down to my stomach. This occurred over 3 hours. I could still talk, but any food or drink I had tried to put down would cause pain until I threw it back up. Everything —literally every bite and sip of liquid. If this happens to you, drink a LOT of CARBONATED water/soda. It has to be carbonated since the carbonation brings gas into your esophagus and will expand it —enough for lodged food to go down. Options like drinking hot water, waiting it out, jumping up and down, etc. did not work for me. Hot water does not dissolve glucomannan. Highly recommend conscious caution when taking these. I almost had my SO drive me to the ER (and googled other people who had this happen and they did go to the ER). ER will give you cola anyways since there have been studies showing the carbonation moving food stuck in your esophagus (low risk, good efficacy). Save yourself a trip, and a potentially painful endoscopy.
