Keep Away From Children

Q: How do I dose konjac extract for weight-loss without risking dangerous blockages or “konjac choke”?

A: The sweet spot for appetite control is 1 g powder taken with a full 250 ml glass of water 30 minutes before your two heaviest meals. Always hydrate first; dry spooning can cause the powder to swell mid-throat and feel obstructive. Stick to a daily maximum of 4 g unless a dietitian prescribes more. Chew meals thoroughly, add at least 1 L extra water through the day, and pause use if you experience persistent bloating, chest tightness or difficulty swallowing.

Q: Will konjac’s gel fibre interfere with absorption of my thyroid or diabetes medication?

A: Glucomannan’s viscous matrix can slow absorption of levothyroxine, metformin and sulfonylureas when taken together. Keep a four-hour window between your medication and konjac servings. For example, swallow thyroid pills at 6 a.m., then first konjac capsule at 10 a.m. Monitor fasting glucose and TSH after two weeks; most users see stable labs, but dose timing is key to avoid sub-therapeutic drug levels or unexpected hypoglycaemia.

Q: Can konjac extract replace xanthan or guar gum in gluten-free baking, and how does it affect texture?

A: Yes. Use konjac at 0.8 – 1.2 % of total dough weight. It hydrates faster than guar, creating an elastic, springy crumb, and outperforms xanthan for moisture retention—muffins stay soft for three days without gumminess. Because glucomannan forms thermo-stable gels, it survives oven heat yet breaks down neatly during chewing, leaving no slimy mouthfeel. If the batter looks overly stiff, add 5 g extra water per gram konjac to maintain pourable consistency.

Q: Is konjac safe for long-term use, or can too much soluble fibre cause nutrient deficiencies?

A: Human trials up to twelve months using 4 g glucomannan daily show no depletion of fat-soluble vitamins when meals include healthy fats. The fibre can bind small amounts of iron and calcium, but balanced diets (or a standard multivitamin) offset this. Rotate a fibre variety—psyllium on weekends, inulin in smoothies—to keep gut flora diverse. Most importantly, maintain hydration; 30 ml water per kilogram body-weight assures soluble fibres do their job without encouraging fermentation bloat or mineral malabsorption.
