How does konjac / glucomannan help with weight loss, as well as contribute to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels?
According to Commission Regulation No. 432/2012 of the European Union, glucomannan aids weight loss and normalises blood cholesterol levels if taken in the amount of 4g a day, in three 1g (minimum) portions each. It's important to consume it with plenty of water to ensure the substance reaches the stomach.

What makes Shileo different from other industrially processed foods?
Many food companies try to sell their products as "light", "non-fat" and "no added sugar". "Light" simply indicates that it's less heavy than the regular recipe (yet still unhealthy), "no fat" usually means that sugar is added to increase the flavoring, and "no added sugar" could mean that other artificial ingredients are added in order to compensate. We believe food should be light as a rule, and not only reduced in unhealthy ingredients. You shouldn't feel sleepy or hungry after a meal, especially when you're trying to lose weight.
