Appetite Power™ Konjac Root - Glucomannan for Weight Loss 1000 mg 60 Vegan Capsules

What Konjac Root Glucomannan Is
Glucomannan is a viscous soluble fibre from the root of Amorphophallus konjac. Appetite Power supplies 1000 mg of konjac root glucomannan per vegan capsule, with 60 capsules per bottle, as a single ingredient.
It absorbs water and forms a gel. That one property is behind every claim made for it, the useful ones and the unsupported ones alike.

1000 mg per capsule: Single-ingredient konjac root.

60 capsules: Two months at 1 capsule daily.
