The main ingredient in Kneipp Saciante is Konjac glucomannan, which is what gave it its weight loss and cardiovascular health benefits. What is glucomannan? Glucomannan is a vegetable fibre obtained from the root of the Amorphophallus Konjac plant. Being highly soluble, it has an optimal water-binding capacity, which allows it to swell rapidly in the stomach, providing a feeling of satiety. It also increases the viscosity of the gastrointestinal contents, which delays gastric emptying of the stomach. At the level of the intestine, it reduces the rate of nutrient absorption by forming a barrier that protects against the action of enzymes and making it more difficult for nutrients to reach the intestinal mucosa.
