Glucomannan is 100% natural polysaccharide in the form of dietary fiber, isolated from the root of the konjac plant (Amorphophallus konjac ). After being solubilized in water, it starts to form a bulky polymeric gel. Glucomannan is used for reduction of body weight, against constipation and for reduction a bad (LDL) cholesterol. In order to achieve these physiological effects, it is mandatory to use glucomannan with at least 2 dcl of water per 1.5 g of glucomannan. However, it is strongly advised to drink at least 1 liter of water or calorie-free liquids (like tea, lemonade) after taking glucomannan.

In people who have difficulty swallowing, suffocation can occur if glucomannan is ingested with an insufficient amount of fluid. Ingestion of powder without sufficient fluid is not recommended.

How does it work?

Glucomannan works in the stomach and intestines by absorbing water to form a bulky fiber that treats constipation and helps to activate the feeling of a full stomach. It also slows the absorption of cholesterol from the gut, helping to control cholesterol levels.

Due to the fact that one cap of Super SLIM GOLD Natural composes 1.5 grams of glucomannan, two caps are recommended daily in order to reduce or maintain body weight and reduce the bad (LDL) cholesterol.

Glucomannan helps maintain normal blood cholesterol levels with a daily intake of 4 g.

Garcinia cambogia or Garcinia gummi-gutta is a tropical tree native to Indonesia. The pumpkin-like fruit has antioxidant properties and is commonly used as a food preservative and flavoring agent and spice due to its sharp sour taste.

The fruit became very popular in the last few years by containing the alpha-hydroxycitric acid (HCA), which is known for its anti-obesity activity, including suppressing the accumulation of fat by inhibiting the fat-forming enzyme, lowering the “bad” (LDL) cholesterol, and acting as an appetite suppressant by increasing the level of serotonin in the body.

How does it work?

Alpha-hydroxycitric acid (HCA) inhibits ATP-citrate lyase, an enzyme involved in the process of converting citrate to acetyl-coenzyme A, which lowers body fat biosynthesis.

HCA also increases serotonin, a neurotransmitter in our brain that suppresses food intake making you feel satisfied even when your stomach is not full. The result is eating less and losing weight! Serotonin is also a mood regulator that makes you feel less anxious, more energetic, and focused.

Studies show that the combination of glucomannan and Garcinia cambogia has the great potential to support significant weight loss.

Hoodia parviflora, the largest species in the Hoodia genus, is a succulent cactus-like milkweed plant that originated from southern Africa full of dietary fiber that has been recognized for its appetite suppressing properties. Hoodia genus is known to be traditionally used as an appetite suppressant already by the Bushmen to survive the harsh conditions of the Namib desert. The new studies show that the impact on people using a supplement of Hoodia parviflora is significant in a decrease of waist circumference in comparison with placebo groups.

Hoodia parviflora and garcinia cambogia extracts are carefully calculated unique additives to the known glucomannan blend. Glucomannan is used to reduce weight, against constipation and to reduce bad (LDL) cholesterol.
