Konjac: Its main components include glucomannan, protein, fructose, pectin, konjac starch, etc. Glucomannan can effectively interfere with the metabolic function of cancer cells. When konjac gel enters the human intestine, it forms a semi-permeable membrane with varying pore sizes that adheres to the intestinal wall, preventing the invasion of harmful substances, including carcinogens, thus playing a role in detoxification and preventing cancer. It can help prevent and treat thyroid cancer, gastric cardiac cancer, colon cancer, lymphoma, parotid gland cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, etc.
