Konjac Root (Amorphophallus konjac), also known as elephant yam, devil's tongue, snake palm, voodoo lily, or simply konjac, is a perennial plant native to the tropical regions of China. It is cultivated throughout eastern Asia, including Japan, Korea, and Indonesia. Konjac Root is popular as a supplement for its glucomannan content. Glucomannan is a water-soluble fiber extracted from the konjac root or tuber (Amorphophallus konjac). Because of how glucomannan is structured, it can reach the lower intestines more effectively than some other fibers, which break down in the first part of the small intestine. Glucomannan in Konjac Root Extract supports the digestive system and may help maintain body weight and cholesterol levels in individuals when taken in conjunction with diet and exercise.* Glucomannan also helps support heart and cardiovascular system.* This Konjac Root Extract is standardized to contain at least 90% glucomannan. This extract is the powder form.
