I have been taking Glucomannan for about two months and I have seen a difference in my mid section. When I take it a half hour before meal time it does help me from eating too much...I am feeling fuller and I am not constpated at all. The nice thing is there are no side effects and it detoxs the pancreas and also helps with blood sugar levels so it does other things also

Took this fiber for a year steadily and off and on for the next year but started taking it again regularly. First year while taking it and calorie counting (My Fitness Pal app) loss 150 lbs and cholesterol dropped from 210 to 180. Totally believe in this supplement.

Not sure if what is in the capsules is what it says, I had terrible heart burn so opened a capsule and tasted a bit - nearly burnt my tongue!! Is this normal?

I am also taking belviq - which at $75 per month (supposed to be taking twice a day) is pricey. With glucomman, I can take the Belviq only once per day and save big $$. It kicks in in about three or four hours and really cuts my appetite.

It definitely does what is described to do. You must take it with 80z of water at least 30 mins "before" a meal to get the full benefit.

I am a gastric bypass patient who has lost 200 lbs. I use it to stop my hypoglycemia. Sometimes I insulin dump or my body produces more insulin than necessary. By using this product my blood sugar stays on a more even keel. I still insulin dump occasionally but not as severely as in the past. I can catch it much easier on those tare days than without the glucomannan. Where I had my roux n y done they are doing a study on glucomannan to test its effects on reducing insulin dumping

This product did Not work at all, and a warning to all people with an allergy to Gluten!!! The affects I had with this product were almost every exactly the same as foods that have gluten in them. I had loose fatty stools, major bloating, nausea, and everything I ate made me even more nauseous than before. I was not able to think clearly at all, and ver tired as well as vey irritated. I oils strongly suggest if you really want to take this product then talk to your Dr and or search th main ingredient Read More Read Less

I have been taking this for a few weeks now in capsule form. I decided to try it because I have a medical condition that requires life-long corticosteroid use, and that stuff packs on the weight like crazy for the first few years you are on it, almost no matter what you eat. Since taking glucomannan, I have not noticed any decrease in my appetite or weight. I have noticed a slight increase in bowel movements (from one a day to two). I tried letting a capsule dissolve in warm water one day, and very little gel formed. I think it may be the brand or form I am using. I will try the powder form and see if it helps. At this point I would recommend it for people who need more regularity, but not for weight loss.Read More Read Less

I noticed right away that is suppresses the appetite! You DO NEED to drink LOTS of water when taking this product. I bought it from amazon in the powder form, mix in an 8 oz glass of water, and drink immediately. It also helps with constipation! I have gastroparesis, and it really helps!

I had high triglycerides (262)and was pre-diabetic (serum glucose 111.) I have been taking one Glucomannan capsule 30 min. before each meal for about 8 months. I have had 2 sets of blood work completed and the results are amazing! Triglycerides are 56, and serum glucose is 96. My HDL (good cholesterol) is 114! The supplement did make me have loose stools for several months, but this has stopped.No impact on my weight but I wasn't needing that result.
