About This Product

  • Promotes satiety
  • Provides digestive support
  • Suitable for everyday wellness seekers
  • Free of gluten, dairy, soy, nuts, sugar, salt, preservatives, and artificial colors or flavors

Derived from the konjac root, glucomannan is a water-soluble fiber often used to promote satiety, or the feeling of fullness. It's also considered a "bulking" agent, which yields bulkier stool that smoothly passes through the colon with less strain and pressure.

Taking three The Vitamin Shoppe® brand Glucomannan capsules with a tall glass of water before mealtime is a great way to get that fuller feeling while supporting digestive health.

Directions

Take three (3) capsules before meals with a full glass of water.

Why did you choose this?

Dr recommended!

quality products from vitamin shoppe & have proven their value. 🙂

Works for me makes me full

it works well to give you a full feeling.

Do you take 3 pills before each meal (ex. 3 pills before breakfast, 3 pills before lunch and 3 pills before dinner, daily total of 9 pills) or 1 pill before each meal (daily total of 3 pills)?

Best Answer:  My Husband takes one in the morning and two in the evening, otherwise it is too much.

Does this supplement conflict with High Blood pressure / thyroid medication Also has anyone been on Hormone replacement therapy and had any success with this supplement?
I was taking 1 capsule before each meal. I just read the directions again and it says 3 capsules before meals. So you take 3 capsules before every meal, so 9 capsules a day? That seems a bit excessive.

Best Answer:  I have been using these in my smoothies by breaking the capsules and blending it...Its important to drink the smoothie immediately, otherwise, it turns into pudding...These capsules are suppose to make you feel full. I do not eat 3 times a day so use these if you want to eat less and feel full.

How old do you have to be to buy this product?

Best Answer:  I really don't know that. But because it's an herb and not regulated by fda I would think there is no age requirement. Hope that helps

I need to lose 35 lbs and I figured if this was on Dr. Oz it must be good and work. Will this really help me lose those pounds? I have started an exercise program 3 days a week.

Best Answer:  If you tend to over eat, this may be the answer. The konjac root is a natural fiber that expands, so there is less room in your belly. Meaning if your stomach is already full, you should eat less. If overeating is your issue AND you can remember to take it 30 minutes before you eat, this will probably help.

Although I never lost more than a couple of pounds using this product alone. I can tell you, it does help with eliminating some of that "belly pooch" that women tend to get. I expect that is the "fiber" aspect. You will become very regular. Also, please remember to drink lots of water with this product. You need it to ensure this passes through your body. I have read reviews of people becoming ill and having a difficult time with it. I think because they were not drinking enough water. I never had any difficulty.

Good luck with your weight loss efforts!

Do you have to take the pills a half hour before a meal or can you take the pills right away before you eat?

Best Answer:  30-60 minutes before is definitely better, however, I have found that even if I take it right before a meal, as long as I have a nice full glass of water (at least 12 oz or so) right afterwards, it still definitely helps... just make sure to eat your meal a little more slowly so you don't overstuff yourself!

Why can't I take it before bedtime?

Best Answer:  My Husband takes one in the morning and two in the evening.

My biggest problem is in my stomach area, has anyone had amazing results?

Best Answer:  Not amazing, but consistent if I follow a sensible diet. I have IBS, and the fiber also helps control that. Good luck!

To those who suffer with IBS-constipation, does this product cause trapped gas & bloating?

Best Answer:  I do not know the answer to that. You may want to ask a doctor or just google that question and see what you can come up with. But my experience is that it fills you up. I break open a capsule or two in my smoothie and use it as a filler. But hurry and drink because it practically turns to gelatin if it sits too long.

Do you know how many mg's this product is? I can't find it anywhere..

Best Answer:  My bottle says 1.99 g per serving. 3 pills make up one serving.

    Organic Low FODMAP Reliefiber - Supports Occasional Constipation,

    Organic Low-FOMAP Reliefiber.

    Not all fiber is created equal. Ever hear of FODMAPS? Funny acronym, but it may be the key reason you experience occasional constipation, diarrhea, gas, and bloating! Found in many common foods, FODMAPS (fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols) are certain types of carbohydrates (sugars) that can be hard to digest and cause gas-related abdominal discomfort, bloating, constipation, or diarrhea.

    Reliefiber is a certified organic and low-FODMAP fiber supplement that helps promote bowel regularity and health. Sourced from the guar bean, the organic fiber in Reliefiber is completely soluble in water, has zero viscosity, remains stable at low pH levels, and is extremely resistant to high temperatures.

    Fiber is an essential part of any healthy diet, but getting enough fiber can be very hard, especially on a low-FODMAP diet. Each serving of Reliefiber provides 5 g of Monash University Low FODMAP Certified, organic, non-GMO, gluten-free fiber. Reliefiber also supports weight control by helping you feel fuller for longer and supporting healthy blood sugar levels already within the normal range. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans, Reliefiber is available in unflavored and in a delicious, natural tropical flavor. The prebiotic fiber can be used by adults and children aged eight and older for gentle relief of constipation, bloating, and gas.
