Why Fiberboost ?

High quality glucomannan

The ultimate solution forweight loss & cholesterol management

Fiberboost is a water-soluble, high molecular weight fibre

extracted from the Amorphophallus konjac plant.

Once hydrated, Fiberboost forms a high viscosity geland expands 200-fold its initial volume, acting as

a stomach filter.

Therefore, Fiberboost results in a feeling of satietywhich reduces food intake and, ultimately,

the calories absorbed at the gastrointestinal tract.

Besides, Fiberboost reduces the re-absorption of bile acids, resulting in an increased need to synthesize new bile acids

from body cholesterol. This leads to a reduction of circulating

LDL cholesterol levels.

The high quality of Fiberboost, in terms of high molecular weight

(800 to 1'200 kDa) and bre content (>95%), combined withvery low sultes and heavy metals ensures optimum efficacyand consumer safety .

Fiberboost can benet from the 2 health claims

approved by the EFSA for glucomannan∗:

Contributes to weight loss in the context of an energy restricted dietContributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels

*EFSA Journal 2010;8(10):1798 & EFSA Journal 2009;7(9):1258

Fiberboost is a high quality glucomannan,

the only food ingredient enyoing

both weight loss and cholesterol managment
