Over 75% of drinkable konjac jelly products marketed as low-calorie and sugar-free use keto-friendly sweeteners, making them a viable option for those on a ketogenic diet. This begs the question, is drinkable konjac jelly truly keto-friendly, and what ingredients should you look for to ensure it meets your dietary needs?

In a 2016 study published in *Nutrition & Metabolism*, researchers examined the effects of PolyGlycopleX (PGX), and noted it is a viscous dietary fiber manufactured from three distinct polysaccharides: konjac glucomannan, sodium alginate, and xanthan gum. This unique combination of natural, water-soluble fibers is designed to produce a powerful thickening effect that distinguishes it from other fiber supplements.
