2-pack value set: Glucomannan + Chromium – weight-loss capsules with 4,200 mg glucomannan from konjac root + 100 µg chromium per daily dose (6 capsules) – 2 x 240 capsules – from Unimedica

Glucomannan + Chromium Konjac Root Extract Capsules by Unimedica are highly dosed with 4,200 mg glucomannan and 100 µg chromium per daily dose (8 capsules). One daily dose covers 250% of an adult's daily requirement (percentage of the nutrient reference values according to Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 (FIC)) for chromium.

The so‑called konjac root belongs to the arum family (Araceae) and originates from tropical and subtropical regions. It is relatively rich in protein and consists mainly of dietary fibre, which makes it particularly valuable for a low‑calorie and low‑carbohydrate diet. From the ground konjac root, for example, shirataki noodles are produced in Asia, which are now popular for low‑carb diets.

Konjac root also contains glucomannan, which — when consumed in sufficient amounts — helps to maintain normal blood cholesterol levels (from 4 g per day) and assists with weight reduction as part of a low‑calorie diet (from 3 g per day).

Glucomannan + Chromium Konjac Root Extract Capsules by Unimedica additionally supply the body with chromium, which contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels and supports the metabolism of macronutrients. Each jar contains 180 capsules.

The positive effect on weight loss is achieved with a daily intake of 3 g glucomannan in three portions of 1 g each, taken with 1–2 glasses of water before meals and as part of a low‑calorie diet. For the positive effect on blood cholesterol to occur, 4 g of glucomannan must be consumed daily (one complete daily dose as stated).
