Introduction:
Konjac is extremely low in calories, and has a large expansion coefficient after absorbing water. It has a filling effect in the stomach and can increase satiety. The effect of konjac on weight control is very obvious. Konjac is a natural hydrocolloid with strong water absorption. It expands in volume after absorbing water in the large intestine. The short-chain fatty acids produced by the decomposition of colon bacteria can promote intestinal peristalsis, shorten defecation time, and make defecation natural and smooth. produce diarrhea.
Functions:
1. As a soluble dietary fiber, KGM can form a protective layer around food to prevent digestive enzymes from interacting with food.
2. KGM can absorb water and expand (80-100 times) in water, which can suppress appetite, produce satiety, and reduce food intake.
3. KGM can delay and prevent the absorption of nutrients such as cholesterol and monosaccharides, thereby reducing the synthesis of fatty acids in the body.
4. KGM has the functions of moistening the intestines and laxatives, which can increase the amount of defecation, so it has the effect of intestinal cleansing.
