The authorised context is narrow
The EU weight-loss claim for glucomannan is tied to an energy-restricted diet. It is not a general fat-burning or appetite-suppression permission. The conditions require 3 g daily in three doses of 1 g, each taken with 1–2 glasses of water before meals. A quantified portion must contain 1 g of glucomannan.
Removing the diet, timing or portion requirements changes what is being communicated. A small asterisk cannot make an unrelated headline equivalent to the authorised claim.
Water is a safety condition
The regulation requires a choking warning for people with swallowing difficulties or inadequate fluid intake, and advice to take the substance with plenty of water so it reaches the stomach. This is not optional styling around a product benefit.
Metabolic Powder directions also exclude use with swallowing difficulties or narrowing of the oesophagus or gastrointestinal tract and advise against taking it immediately before bed. Read the complete warnings on the formula page and the final label.
What the source confirms, and what it does not
The daily formula specifies 3 g glucomannan, 9 g inulin and 2 g PHGG, plus fruit extracts and micronutrients. The total powder weight of each serving is not finalised. Fourteen grams of declared fibres is not the total finished-product weight.
Until that serving specification is confirmed, we cannot supply a scoop-based mixing instruction. If you have diabetes or take medication, seek medical advice before use. These notes explain the claim framework; they are not a weight-management prescription.
