Glucomannan: from the konjac root

The EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) considers the following health claim related to glucomannan to be scientifically justified:

Weight loss occurs with a daily intake of 3g glucomannan in 3 portions of 1g each in combination with 1-2 glasses of water before meals and as part of a low-calorie diet.
Glucomannan also helps to maintain normal blood cholesterol levels. The positive effect is achieved with a daily intake of 4g glucomannan.
