Lobacy® is used for obesity, diabetes, diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It is also used to reduce cholesterol, triglycerides, and for preventing “hardening of the arteries” (atherosclerosis). Lobacy® expands in the intestine when coming in contact with water, causing a sense of fullness. This potentially decreases appetite. Lobacy® is a high grade fiber that decreases the amount of cholesterol and glucose that is absorbed in the stomach and intestines. It normalizes the moisture content of the stool, absorbing excess liquid in diarrhea, and softening the stool in constipation.
