This is not medical advice
Everything on alkaeslim.com is published for general information. We are researchers and writers, not physicians, dietitians or pharmacists. Nothing here is medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and nothing here should replace a conversation with a qualified healthcare professional who knows your history.
Speak to a doctor first if any of these apply
- You are pregnant or nursing
- You are under 18
- You take prescription medication of any kind
- You have a diagnosed medical condition
- You have any difficulty swallowing, or a narrowing or motility disorder of the throat, oesophagus, stomach or bowel — a viscous fibre that swells on contact with water is the wrong thing to trial without advice
- You have surgery scheduled
Dietary supplements are regulated differently
In the United States, dietary supplements are not subject to the pre-market approval process that applies to pharmaceutical drugs. The FDA does not approve dietary supplements for safety or effectiveness before they are sold. Any badge or claim suggesting a supplement is "FDA approved" is inaccurate — what a manufacturer can legitimately state is that a product is made in an FDA-registered facility, which is a statement about the premises, not about the product.
A supplement is not a treatment
Konjac glucomannan is a soluble fibre that absorbs many times its own weight in water and forms a gel. That is the whole mechanism, and it is also the whole hazard: products containing it are taken with a full glass of water for a reason, and they are not appropriate for anyone with a swallowing difficulty or an obstructive gut condition. Viscous fibre can also slow the absorption of medication taken at the same time, so if you take anything on a fixed schedule, ask a pharmacist how to space it. And if you have a history of disordered eating, a weight-loss supplement is not a decision to make from a sales page.
Individual results vary
Response to any supplement depends on diet, genetics, existing health status, medication and consistency of use. Results described on this site are not guaranteed and may not be typical.
Never delay medical care
If you have a health concern, seek professional advice. Do not disregard or delay medical care because of something you read here. In an emergency, contact your local emergency services immediately.
