[Introduction]

Konjac is a plant that is found in China, Japan and Indonesia. The plant is part of the genus Amorphophallus. Typically, it thrives in the warmer regions of Asia.

The extract of the Konjac root is referred to as Glucomannan. Glucomannan is a fiber-like substance traditionally used in food recipes, but now it is utilized as an alternative means of weight loss. Along with this benefit, konjac extract contains other benefits for the rest of the body as well.

The main material of the natural konjac gum is fresh konjac, which grow in virgin forest in Hubei area. We use advanced method to distill the KGM, aminophenol, Ca, Fe, Se which are good for health. Konjac is known as“ the seventh nutriment for human”.

Konjac Gum with its special water holiding capacity, stability, emulsibility, thickening property,suspension property and gel propery can especially adopted in food industry.

[Main Function]

1.It could reduce postprandial glycemia, blood cholesterol and blood pressure.

2.It could control appetite and reduce body weight.

3.It could increase insulin sensitivity.
4.It could control insulin resistant syndrome and diabetesII development.
5.It could reduce heart disease.

Why it Works for
F21 is an All Natural Sugar Blocker that helps limit your blood sugar absorption. It consists of different compounds found to have various health benefits, such as L-Arabinose, Coriolus Versicolor Polysacchride, Konjac-Mannan, Magnesium Stearate, Mint flavor: Menthol and Natural Colors. F21 not only does it help promote weight loss, (PSK) boosts your immune system response. In fact, for every gram of F21, you can block up to 20 grams of sugar (sucrose). The formula not only helps promote weight loss, it benefits the digestive system by allowing the blocked sucrose to support beneficial probiotic bacteria while the polysaccharide (PSK) boosts your immune system response.
But how does this formula break down the sugar in our bodies? There are basically three steps:
STEP 1
Sugar (sucrose) enters the body as a whole molecule.
STEP 2
The enzyme “sucrose” separates the sucrose molecule into two individual sugar molecules, Glucose and Fructose, which then enter the blood stream to be used. F21 inhibits sucrose from separating the sucrose molecule.
STEP 3
Instead of the sugars entering the blood stream, the whole sucrose molecule and F21 remain in the digestive tract and become prebiotics.
The main ingredient in F21 is L-Arabinose, which helps prevent sugar (sucrose) from being metabolized in the body. It also helps to satisfy any cravings for sugar. Another ingredient, Polysaccharide (PSK), is an extremely powerful antioxidant and immune-regulatory defender. It’s well researched anti-tumor, anti-infection and anti-inflammation effects help repair damaged cells and support the immune system.
Konjac-Mannan is a natural appetite suppressant. It acts as a trigger signaling your stomach to feel a little more satisfied and can help to reduce hunger cravings.
Prebiotics are indigestible fibers that are food for the probiotics. Both F21 and the whole sucrose molecule remain in the large intestine and become food for probiotics.
Menthol is an organic compound made synthetically or obtained from cornmint, peppermint or other mint oils. Menthol has local anesthetic and counterirritant qualities, and it is widely used to relieve minor throat irritation. It is known to be a powerfully medicinal compound linked to several potential health benefits. Peppermint oil, a natural source of menthol, has been investigated as a treatment for several diseases and conditions.
Magnesium stearate, also called octadecanoic acid, is manufactured from both animal and vegetable oils and this is the reason why some nutritional supplements specify that the magnesium stearate used is sourced from vegetables.
