Increase in faecal bulk: Sugar beet fibre contributes to an increase in faecal bulk in two ways: the insoluble components of the fibre increase faecal bulk by absorbing water in the large intestine, while the soluble components are fermented by bacteria in the large intestine leading to an increase in bacterial mass. Reduction of body weight / weight management support: Glucomannan in the context of an energy restricted diet contributes to weight loss. This beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3g of glucomannan in three doses of 1g each, together with 1-2 glasses of water, before meals and in the context of an energy-restricted diet. 1 teaspoon (5g) of this powder contains 1g of glucomannan.
