- Reviewed in Canada on September 27, 2023Verified PurchaseChanging diet to low carb; this is WAY more effective than high carb starches, tasteless, and doesn’t change texture after refrigeration. So, it’s kinda perfect!
- Reviewed in Canada on January 27, 2024Verified PurchaseAfter watching various videos on YouTube, I decided to try the capsules first and then I tried the powder. In the end I like the capsules over the powder. I find the powder turns to gel to quickly. The capsules are phenomenal. When I am doing one meal a day, I take these at 3:00 p.m. when I start to get hungry and then eat dinner at 6:00. Take capsules again at 8:30 p.m. and I'm good until the next day. I find that glucomanon helps the fasting process beyond belief. I find that two grams works best. Highly recommend the product.
- Reviewed in Canada on March 14, 2020Verified PurchaseI was initially amazed how much water this powder holds compared to other thickeners like HEC, CMC + Xanthan. It is easily the best for short term thickening. Unfortunately it also looses water at a faster rate than the others and sometimes this is important. Unfortunately if you use this product to make a water based gel, it will break down within about a week and return to a very thin watery like liquid.
- Reviewed in Canada on January 26, 2021Verified Purchaseit’s okay to buy at this price but the quality is not up to the mark.
- Reviewed in Canada on January 28, 2022Verified PurchaseMy husband is following a keto diet and I was looking for a way to thicken his sauce. Oh wow does it work well!!! This product works so well I don’t use flour or starch to thicken sauce anymore. Only this product. I even use it to make chocolate pouding. As it is tasteless it’s very versatile.
It’s my go too product in the kitchen
- Reviewed in Canada on November 9, 2024Verified PurchaseGood product, arrived on time
- Reviewed in Canada on November 16, 2020Verified PurchaseThe media could not be loaded.
No wonder why it is banned in Australia and in Europe. Health Canada should step up to the plate and see who sells this on amazon and give them hefty fines! Please, DO NOT use this product! Very dangerous! It transforms into hard plastic after ingestion. It can also shut down your kidneys!
This message is for all of you who buy from 鶹: this product is highly unsafe if not LIFE-THREATENING! Read everything on the internet and contact POISON CONTROL and Health Canada! They will both tell you that the Konjac plant cannot be digested by humans and that this powder produces esophageal and intestinal blockages. If you experience pain in your chest, throw up, pain in your abdomen, either call an ambulance or go to ER. (I LEARNED THE HARD WAY!)
