Is Glucomannan Safe for Pregnant Women?
There is not enough information to determine whether glucomannan is safe for use during pregnancy. It is thought that glucomannan food products (such as some types of Asian noodles) probably do not pose any risk, but glucomannan supplements should probably be avoided. Because glucomannan is a natural vegetable fiber, it is probably safe for use in pregnant women, but further research is necessary in order to make sure glucomannan does not cause any problems.
