Our certified organic glucomannan powder is a highly purified, water-soluble dietary fiber extracted from the corm of organically grown Amorphophallus konjac (konjac root). With â„95% glucomannan content, it delivers exceptional thickening, gelling, and water-binding capacity at extremely low use levelsâmaking it one of the most efficient natural hydrocolloids available.
Unlike modified starches or synthetic gums, organic glucomannan is non-GMO, vegan, gluten-free, zero-calorie, and backed by clinical research for digestive health, weight management, and metabolic support.
Note: This product is distinct from whole konjac flourâit undergoes additional purification to remove residual proteins, ash, and odor compounds, resulting in a neutral-tasting, high-purity fiber ideal for sensitive applications like clear beverages or dietary supplements.
What Is Organic Glucomannan?
Glucomannan is a high-molecular-weight polysaccharide composed of ÎČ-(1â4)-linked D-mannose and D-glucose units in a ~1.6:1 ratio. Its unique linear structure enables:
- Extreme water absorption (up to 200x its weight)
- Formation of viscous, non-gelling solutions in cold water
- Synergy with xanthan gum or carrageenan for elastic gels (with heat/alkali)
- Resistance to human digestive enzymes â 0 kcal/g
Our organic glucomannan powder is produced using food-grade water extraction and membrane filtrationâwithout chemical solvents, bleaching agents, or sulfites.

FAQs
Q: How does Organic Glucomannan work for weight management?
A: Organic Glucomannan works primarily by absorbing a large amount of water in the stomach, forming a viscous gel. This gel creates a feeling of fullness or satiety, which can help reduce overall food intake and caloric consumption, thereby supporting weight loss efforts when combined with a calorie-restricted diet.
Q: Is Organic Glucomannan suitable for gluten-free and keto products?
A: Yes, Organic Glucomannan is naturally gluten-free as it’s derived from the Konjac plant, not grains. It’s also keto-friendly due to its virtually zero net carb content and high fiber contribution, making it ideal for low-carb formulations.
Q: What’s the typical shelf life and recommended storage for bulk quantities?
A: Our Organic Glucomannan typically has a shelf life of 24 months from the manufacturing date when stored in a cool, dry place (below 75°F / 24°C), away from direct sunlight and moisture, in its original sealed, airtight packaging. Proper sealing is critical to prevent moisture absorption.
Q: What is the recommended dosage for weight management benefits?
A: For weight management, generally accepted effective dosages are around 1 gram of glucomannan three times a day before meals, with plenty of water. However, the exact dosage will depend on your product formulation and the specific health claims you aim to make, and it’s advisable to consult regulatory guidelines.
Q: Does Organic Glucomannan have any taste or odor?
A: Organic Glucomannan is known for its neutral taste and odor, making it highly versatile for incorporation into various food and beverage products without introducing undesirable flavors.
