Glucomannan Fibre 500mg Capsules | Supports Weight Loss on an Energy-Restricted Diet | 120 Capsules | Manufactured in The UK in Accordance with GMP Standards

I have been using these now 3 times a day 30 minutes before my meals and have found that they have made a massive difference in how much I am eating and also how often I am hungry.Before using these I could eat well, eat badly and never really feel too full even with large meals and would often be snacking around these large meals too. So they 100% have helped with satiety.Since putting these into my diet the amount I have been eating has dropped dramatically and honestly food is a bit of a distant thought most days now thanks to these instead of an hour to hour constant.Ive done a bit of reading up on Glucomannan before using and basically there is dietary fibre that comes inside the capsules and when they hit the stomach and intestines they absorb water which then sees the fibre expand filling up a good portion of your stomach before you eat, as such you don't feel the need for a big meal. After that its slowly digested so it keeps you full for a while especially with a good quality small meal in there too.I would stress that this is not a miracle pill and must be used with a proper nutrition plan to lose weight with, so sorry but no cheating and going for the junk food.A fantastic quality supplement that I couldn't be happier with 5 *

I think if you go into this with the right expectations, this is something that most people will find helpful. Obviously everyone's different, some people will find it doesn't work at all, but my experience has been good. I've found they help me to avoid my most common pitfalls and stay on track.Important things to note:1. Make sure you take them as advised. 2 tablets, 30 minutes before eating, up to 3 times per day, with 1-2 glasses of water. If you take them without enough water, they can't work properly. The reaction you want to be happening in your stomach is for the glucomannan fibre to dissolve in the water, creating a viscous fluid which takes up space in your stomach and takes time to move through your digestive system. You can do a little science experiment to see this in action. Put a bit of water in a glass, and empty 1-2 tablets into the water. Give it a bit of a stir and leave it to stand for a bit. You'll notice the water ends up being very thick (don't drink it!). I did also test just drinking the same amount of water vs taking the tablets, and found that although the immediate full feeling was similar, it lasted longer with the tablets.2. Combine with a sensible meal plan. My main pitfall when I'm trying to stick to a diet is creating a meal plan which I know is providing everything I need, but being hungry after my meals. These help me to stick to those plans because I actually feel full after eating those meals. What they're not going to do is make you feel full after eating a single rice cake, or a greasy slice of pizza. But if you have a good, balanced meal plan, they should help you stick to it.3. They won't help you if you're fasting. If your plan involves intermittent fasting, these aren't the right product to stave off hunger pangs during a fast. They won't do anything for you unless you also eat a meal after taking them.

This review probably isn't for the feint hearted but I have to say it for the benefit of others who might be going through what I have. I have suffered with chronic constipation most of my life. Most people around me will say the typical "Drink more water" when I in fact probably drink more water than anyone around me. But for some reason, the water was never drawn into my stools enough.Over the past 6 months, my constipation has been so bad I have been getting anal fissures - a cut just inside the rear hole (told you it would be graphic) and blood was appearing when I wiped myself. This is the only reason I have been researching and experimenting for months on numerous natural constipation relief. I couldn't allow this to continue. I have tried psyllium husk supplements, stool softeners, aloe vera, and goodness knows what else. None of them have worked like these capsules.I have now been going easier than I had been for months. I don't dread the grazing that follows once the motion eventually begins when passing the stool. The anal fissures feel like they've now gone.Do they help me to feel full, thus helping to lose weight? Yes, I do think they do. Read the small print, not the larger print which says take 2 daily. The smaller print says take 1g before each meal. That's 2 capsules. I've taken 4 a day with at least 400ml of liquid with each dose and that has been enough - coming from a chronic constipation sufferer, trust me when I say; that should get you going. I'm going to assume the negative reviewers saw no difference as they only took the dosage stated in the larger print.So if nothing else, I will continue to buy these just to keep me regular. That in itself helps anyone to lose weight who doesn't have regular bowel movements. So it's all a bonus for someone like me.

Definitely didn’t make me feel fuller. Took for a month, no difference in hunger or bowel movements.

products caused a lot of pain to my kidney after taking two of them and then i stopped, a day later my kidney is still in pain and i’m showing signs of having a very painful uti. however, they do actually work and i was eating a lot less that day. take at your risk, i guess.

Great product- use these to assist with weight loss as an appetite suppressant- been using for a couple of years on and off and would highly recommend

Does not help with diet

So, if you're buying these you're likely trying to lose weight or are on a ketogenic diet like me.These are PERFECT for beating the hunger during the start of your Keto diet.They are easy to swallow, have no flavour and they aren't too big either. Just make sure to take one with plenty of water before your meal, not only will you not be able to eat as much but you'll also feel full for longer!
