Glucomannan Review

 width=A dietary fiber sometimes derived from the Konjac root, Glucomannan’s claim to fame in weight loss is in its ability to help in appetite suppression. When consumed and met with water, glucomannan absorbs the water and forms a “gel-like mass.” As it passes through your intestines, this mass makes you feel as though you are full.

Research

One study ((http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16320857)) showed “a significant mean weight loss (5.5 lbs) using glucomannan over an eight-week period. Serum cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were significantly reduced (21.7 and 15.0 mg/dl respectively) in the glucomannan treated group. No adverse reactions to glucomannan were reported.” Subjects were given a 1-g dose one hour before each meal.

Another study ((http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6096282)) cited that “At doses of 2-4 g per day, GM was well-tolerated and resulted in significant weight loss in overweight and obese individuals.”

Conclusion

Its hard to argue against the studies. Glucomannan is effective in appetite suppresion. The caveat is that the amounts used in these studies are more than what’s in most of the diet pills that I’ve seen. That’s not to say that a lower dosage is definitely not going to work, but that’s important to remember. Thumbs up to Glucomannan, but unless it’s 2-4 grams per day, it should be used with other effective ingredients as well.

TOP 2 RATED DIET PILLS OF 2012
#1 Editor's Choice - Adapexin-P

We really like that Adapexin-P 37.5mg is very straight forward in their marketing and website approach. They have a clear focus on using clinically proven ingredients that will maximize your weight loss - which is the only way to sell a diet pill in our opinion.

With straight forward and honest marketing, proven ingredients, and a great Money Back Guarantee, we suggest that Adapexin-P is a high quality diet pill. Consumers are very satisfied with Adapexin, and so are we, making it our #1 product of choice.

#2 Consumers' Choice - Phenphedrine

Phenphedrine is the strongest diet pill around. It's one of the the only products we have ever reviewed that not only surpassed the weight loss results of the banned Fen-Phen, but is legal and extremely safe. The only reason it is not our #1 diet pill is because Adapexin-P is a bit less expensive.

Phenphedrine is ideal for someone who wants a diet pill / fat burner that contains some of the best ingredients available backed by a money back satisfaction guarantee. The price is great and you can't go wrong with their lifetime guarantee. We say give Phenphedrine a try. Two thumbs up!

    I bought Lipozene (glucomannan) one week ago, and have taken 2-capsules at every meal. So far, I like it. It does help me not be so hungry…and it does not give me the jitters or the shakes. Some other brands have left me feeling foggy and just not myself. I am going to continue with the product for one month and see what transpires…hopefully I will see a difference and drop some weight. Take Care! Carol
