What is Glucomannan 600mg?

Glucomannan 600mg by EssentialSeries is a food supplement in vegetable capsules, based on 20:1 Konjac concentration extract from the bulb of the Amorphophallus konjac plant, standardised to 95% glucomannan (600mg of glucomannan per capsule).

Konjac is a plant of the Araceae family, native to various regions of East and Southeast Asia. Its main chemical constituent is a non-digestible linear polysaccharide called Glucomannan.

This product is made from a plant extract of the Konjac plant and presented in vegetable capsules using ingredients of non-animal origin.

Glucomannan 600mg is suitable for vegan diets.

Why buy Glucomannan by HSN?

Concentration

Herbal extracts are concentrated presentations of plants that are developed in order to increase the density of naturally occurring nutrients.

Our Glucomannan has been obtained from the extract of the bulb of the Konjac plant, the area where it accumulates the highest density of glucomannan.

We also present a quality extract:

Standardised content

Many companies marketing food supplements do not declare their active ingredient content, for a number of reasons:

•  They don't know it, which denotes a low quality of the raw material used for the production of the product.
•  They have used plant parts with low or no active ingredient content in order to reduce costs.
•  They have used raw materials that have been aggressively treated and contain no or low amounts of nutrients.

An herbal extract should always reflect the active ingredients that matter to us as consumers, which is why in our Glucomannan you can find:

Vegan capsules

Of course, this is a problem! What about vegetarians?

They can no longer make use of this supplement, even if its content is suitable for vegans, the use of additives ruins the product for vegans.

At HSN we have taken a step forward, and our encapsulations are suitable for vegans by replacing the gelatine normally used with a vegetable cellulose derivative.
