Vitacost Glucomannan Description
Multi-purpose, plant-based dietary fiber.
What is Glucomannan?
Glucomannan is a soluble and fermentable dietary fiber from the konjac root plant. Its chemical structure is similar to that of galactomannan (from guar gum) and comprises a polysaccharide chain of glucose and mannose.
Glucomannan can absorb up to 200 times its weight in water and forms a thick, gel-like mass that has been shown to be approximately five times greater than that of guar gum.
What are the key benefits of Vitacost® Glucomannan?
-
As a water-soluble fiber, glucomannan is appropriate for the relief of occasional constipation.*
-
The unique, bulk-forming property of glucomannan makes it a top-performing fiber specifically suited for providing a feeling of satiety (fullness) and promoting healthy weight loss.*
-
Glucomannan may be used as part of your diet to help maintain a healthy blood sugar level.*
-
Promotes healthy blood lipid metabolism and helps maintain cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range.*
Vitacost® Glucomannan is a targeted wellness solution - just for you.
-
Has no unpleasant smell or taste.
-
Has high absorption properties, meaning it can be taken in much smaller quantities than other fibers like pectin or guar gum.

Blueberry Kefir Mousse
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Refreshing and gut-friendly, this blueberry kefir mousse is a cinch to make and includes
probiotics and prebiotics in the kefir and
glucomannan. Adding a pinch of nutmeg and some lemon will brighten up the flavors and your palate.
Blueberry Kefir Mousse
- 2 tsp. glucomannan (or konjac powder or xanthan gum)
- 2 tsp. honey
- 1 cup plain kefir
- ? tsp. nutmeg (optional)
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- ½ tsp. lemon zest
- In blender, combine all ingredients on high speed until thick, about 2 minutes. Let sit an additional 2 minutes in the fridge to thicken more, if desired.
- Depending on the thickness of your kefir, you may need more glucomannan.
- If you don’t have glucomannan or xanthan gum, which are both prebiotic fibers to nourish the good bacteria introduced in the kefir, you can leave it out for a simple smoothie. You may wish to add more liquid such as almond milk or more kefir.
- Exchange the honey for maple syrup or any other sweetener and adjust to taste.
- For alternate versions, try raspberries instead of blueberries, or replace lemon with orange.
- Order the ingredients you need to make this recipe from Vitacost.com!
