Keep Away From Children

Q: How much galactomannan extract should I take daily for cholesterol or glucose benefits, and how soon will I notice results?

A: Clinical trials use 5–7 g total fibre per day, split 2–3 doses with meals. Within two weeks most users see flatter post-prandial glucose curves; lipid panels typically reveal 7–10 % LDL drops by week eight when paired with a plant-forward diet and 25 g total daily fibre.

Q: Can I add the powder straight to water, or must it be premixed to avoid clumps?

A: Sprinkle the powder slowly while whisking or use a shaker-bottle; cold liquids gel within one minute. For hot soups, disperse in a small cold slurry first, then pour into the pot—this prevents fisheyes and ensures even thickening.

Q: Does galactomannan interfere with medication absorption like psyllium can?

A: Yes—its viscosity can trap actives. Keep a minimum two-hour gap between the extract and oral drugs or fat-soluble supplements to ensure proper uptake.

Q: I have IBS; will such a viscous fibre cause bloating?

A: Start low—250 mg in 200 ml water once daily for three days—then rise by 250 mg every fourth day to let gut flora adapt. Most sensitive users tolerate 3 g daily without discomfort when hydration reaches 35 ml water / kg body weight.
