SlimStyles® PGX® contains the prebiotic fibre and gut microbiome superstar Konjac glucomannan: a soluble dietary fiber derived from the root of the konjac plant.
Konjac glucomannan: the weight loss prebiotic
Increased satiety
This gel-like substance increases the feeling of fullness to reduce calory intake, due to its high water-holding capacity.
Cut calorie absorption
This dietary fiber is not digested or absorbed by the body. Instead, it passes through the digestive system relatively intact, reducing the absorption of calories from other foods in the gut.
Stop blood sugar spikes
Konjac glucomannan reduces the glycemic response to meals, preventing spikes in blood sugar levels after meals. This can help to reduce cravings and promote weight loss.
Nourish gut health
By promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut, konjac glucomannan improves overall metabolism.
PGX® health benefits:
Prebiotic effect
PGX® can act as a prebiotic, which means it provides food for beneficial bacteria in the gut, leading to microbial diversity.
Improve digestion
PGX® improves digestion by increasing the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). SCFAs are important for maintaining the health of the gut lining and healing leaky gut.
Anti-infammatory
Konjac glucomannan has anti-inflammatory effects in the gut by reducing the production of inflammatory cytokines and improving mucosal immunity.
Constipation relief
Konjac glucomannan reduces constipation by increasing the water-holding capacity of the stool and promoting regular bowel movements.
PGX® boosts good bacteria:
Bifidobacteria: beneficial bacteria known to produce SCFAs that maintain the acidity of the gut and promote the growth of other beneficial bacteria.
Lactobacilli: beneficial bacteria which produce lactic acid and other compounds that maintain the health of the gut lining and support the immune system.
Akkermansia muciniphila: beneficial bacteria that is associated with gut microbiome diversity, healthy metabolic function and body mass.
Faecalibacterium prausnitzii: the major producer of butyrate, a potent anti-inflammatory in the gut and whole body.
