HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Konjac Root 2,000 mg by AN Amazing Nutrition Amazing Formulas
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: konjac root (also called glucomannan), a soluble fiber extracted from the konjac plant. It's a bulking agent that absorbs water and forms a viscous gel in your digestive tract.
The capsules also contain inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose, silica, vegetable magnesium stearate, and vegetable cellulose — which are fillers and binders that hold the supplement together.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The evidence for konjac root is mixed. It's rated possibly effective for constipation, type 2 diabetes, and high cholesterol.
For high blood pressure, we don't have reliable evidence one way or the other to rate it. If you're considering this supplement for any of those reasons, understand that the science supports it only tentatively — talk with your doctor about whether it's right for your situation.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Glucomannan is generally well tolerated when you drink plenty of water with it. The most common side effects are mild gastrointestinal issues: abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, gas, nausea, and vomiting — especially at doses above 3 grams daily.
Rare but serious: choking and blockage in your esophagus or intestines can happen if you take the powder dry or don't drink enough fluid, so swallow capsules with a full glass of water. During pregnancy, there isn't enough reliable safety data; talk to your doctor before using it.
Little is known about safety while breastfeeding, so caution is advised — again, check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, check any oral medications you're on — that's roughly 2,000 drugs that might have their absorption reduced by glucomannan. This is a Moderate-severity concern, so timing your doses and talking with your pharmacist about spacing is important.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Konjac root may help with constipation, blood sugar control, or cholesterol, but the evidence is tentative. The main caution is that it can interfere with how your body absorbs many oral medications.
If you take any medication by mouth, check it with your pharmacist before starting, and always swallow the capsule with plenty of water to avoid blockage.

Konjac
Oral Drugs
Theoretically, glucomannan may decrease absorption of drugs taken orally.
Due to its viscosity and bulking effects, there is concern that glucomannan can decrease the absorption of oral drugs. A small clinical study in healthy volunteers shows that taking glyburide 2.5 mg plus glucomannan 3.9 grams with breakfast reduces plasma levels of glyburide when compared with breakfast and glyburide alone. In addition, animal research demonstrates this effect on amoxicillin, but shows increased absorption of metronidazole. This mouse model also demonstrates that metronidazole elimination is prolonged, but amoxicillin elimination is enhanced by 38%; glucomannan may also affect the distribution of some drugs. To avoid changes in absorption, take glucomannan 30-60 minutes after taking oral drugs.
