Nutricost Glucomannan Powder 500 Grams - Gluten Free & Non-GMO Supplement

Update: May 9th, 2020 still very happy with it. I've used it as a thickener in some recipes. It thickens slowly in colder liquids but does keep getting thicker after you think it's done. I add very little because of this. It's definitely not corn starch s ok be cautious if using for thickening. For weight loss I couldn't be happier. March 2020 - This really works. I will update in a couple of weeks but for now after taking it for two days in impressed. It fills me up and I'm definitely eating less. I'm finding that I'm full for several hours. Do I still want to snack while I'm bored? Yeah but I have to be mindful and keep myself from doing that. It is definitely easier with this product. Thanks to the reviewer who said a scoop is 1/4 tsp. My container didn't have a scoop, or maybe it's buried down in there but I didn't find it. Also thanks to the reviewer who noted that it gels very quickly in hot liquids. I put it in my morning protein smoothy and it's perfect. Tried it in my hot tea and it gelled so quickly I couldn't finish it. LOL I've noticed no flavor, it mixes easily. I have used a spoon as well as an emersion blender. I think the blender is better but it can be done without one. It is a fiber so it can cause gas. I imagine that my body will adjust to it. It does make you regular. The main point is it fills me up and I'm not eating as much.

I had been taking Glucomannan in capsules to help suppress appetite. I found that it worked well, but I got tired of swallowing the capsules. Also, the capsules tell you to be sure to take with a lot of water. There is a danger of choking if the capsule melts and the Glucomannon starts to swell while it is still in the throat. So there is always the worry about that. That is why I looked for a powder form. This seems to do the trick. I take it dissolved in water, but I think I'll try it with a small bit go yogurt. It doesn't have a taste, although it gets a little slimy when dissolved in water. That's why I'm thinking a little yogurt or cottage cheese or something else soft might be a better carrier for palatability.
