Glucomannan rootMar 15, 2011
By Lyndall F. Beaver
"cat lover"
I had originally purchased Lipozene capsules shown on TV. I took 2 doses a day. I kind of thought it was helping me but decided to look for the main ingredient (Amorphophallus Konjac) in a less expensive brand. Thus I ordered this Nature's Way product. To me it is better than Lipozene. I take the advised dose twice a day and drink a lot of water to get it down. WOW.........I start to feel full before I can finish my low calorie "TV" dinner. I would think most people would feel fuller faster. Of course I am happily on a 1400 calorie day diet that includes slim-fast and Healthy Choice dinners. This helps me to be more aware of extra fullness or bulk in the stomach. Am VERY GLAD I purchased Nature's Way Glucomannan root!

The Best Fiber ProductJun 01, 2011
By TP I have not purchased this product from Amazon however I will from now on. I initially heard about the Konjac Fiber as like most...from the media. I called our local Whole Foods Supermarket and they had it. I purchased it and I can only say that since I have been taking this supplement, I oddly have not been experiencing any migraines, no back pain and it has greatly curbs my appetite. Most of what I eat and drink is absorbed. I don't have cravings and I have energy. I do take other vitamin supplements so I can't say that this is the magical remedy to my feeling good but I can say that when I was taking my other vitamins without this fiber supplement I didn't have the same effect. I have been talking about this product to all of my friends and they have also gone out and purchased it and have been having the same effect so I would recommend that people try it!

Works for meJun 02, 2011
By Rev Shoshana I have tried different brands of Glucomanna (Konjac Root) for appetite control. I had taken it once before but did not follow the directions well. This time I had it 20-30 minutes before each meal with 16 ounces of water. I am generally very hungry and this really make me feel full. Not uncomfortably stuffed, but not that afternoon ravenous feeling. I tried several brands. There is not much difference but I reordered this one because it is a higher dosage per pill. If you don't have the full amount of water it can be dangerous and you can get constipated. It does not work like other fibers for some, it seems, so be sure to eat high fiber foods like fruits and veggies. It does not seem to work for everyone. I don't know if they are following the directions or it just does not work for everyone. But it is definitely worth a try.

Warning- Nature's Way Increased The Size Of The CapsuleSep 06, 2011
By JTex I have been taking Nature's Way Glucommannan before meals for several months and the Glucomannan itself has been fantastic. It has helped control my appetite and lose weight, and my LDL cholesterol dropped significantly after I started taking it.
However, Nature's Way just increased the size of the capsule from a "0" to a "00" size. It has the same dosage as before, it's just in a much larger capsule that I found significantly harder to swallow.
Because of the increase in capsule size I am going to try Soloray brand Glucomannan, which Soloray's customer service tells me is in the "0" size capsule that Nature's Way used to be. I hope Nature's Way switches back to the original capsule size.

It really works!!Mar 17, 2012

Like many others, I first of this herb on Dr. Oz, who said his wife swears by Glucomannan. The first time I ordered this herb, it was through another manufacturer with little effect on me. Before I totally dismissed the idea of using Glucomanna for an appetite suppressant, I switched to Nature's Way and was surprised at the big and positive difference. It was so effective, that I subscribed to have it automatically delivered to me every two months. As suggested on the label, I take 3 tablets 20 minutes before your 3 main meals with a full glass of water, which totals 9 tablets daily. If you calculate the price with a subscription, it comes to approximately $270 per year. Even if that sounds high to you, I think you'll like the results of what this herbs does.
