Excess weight is dangerous to your health and is a contributing factor to insulin resistance (sometimes referred to as Syndrome X), a state in which insulin, the hormone that facilitates the uptake of glucose into cells, works less efficiently with every pound of added fat. Insulin resistance can be linked to diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, weight gain, inflammation and other health conditions.
While reducing calorie intake and increasing regular physical activity are the basics, PGX DAILY, Ultra Matrix Softgels, 750 mg can complement your life-style strategies, making consistent, healthy weight loss simple. PGX, short for PolyGlycopleX, is a proprietary blend of natural, water-soluble, polysaccharides (fibres) from konjac root, sodium alginate and xanthan gum. These highly absorbent and expansive fibres act synergistically in PGX to promote healthy blood sugar levels and support weight management. With its extreme gel-forming properties, PGX absorbs hundreds of times its weight in water, creating volume and viscosity three to five times greater than that of any single soluble fibre.
Feel Good About Eating Again!
Leading scientists have made what we believe may be one of the greatest discoveries of our time. They have found that a unique combination of natural fibres can help people safely reduce appetite, as part of a program to prevent weight gain. As more and more people become aware of the health risks connected to excess weight, they are seeking natural ways to improve eating habits and control food cravings. When you can effectively control appetite, you can reduce food consumption and lose weight.
Impact on Glycemic Index: Results showed that when PGX is consumed before or with foods or beverages, it can reduce the glycemic index of meals by up to 50%, partly by reducing the speed of digestion. This contributes to healthy blood sugar levels and improves insulin sensitivity.
Weight Management: Clinical research has shown that as PGX thickens and expands in the stomach and intestines, it creates a sense of fullness and satiety that effectively controls appetite for several hours. This makes it possible, and easy, to decrease food intake without hunger. In addition, PGX delays gastric emptying, prolonging satiety.
Ingredients: PGX (PolyGlycopleX) 750 mg [konjac (Amorphophallus konjac) (root), sodium alginate,
xanthum gum], in a base of medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) 600 mg.
Dosage: 750 mg

I have mixed reviews about this product. Yes, it does curb hunger and I don't suffer from the terrible headaches and nausea that I normally get when reducing portion sizes (blood sugar swings); however, does it really help "shrink" the stomach so that when you go off of it you still feel satisfied with smaller portions? I don't know. PGX is essentially a fibre pill and it expands in your stomach to help you feel full while you reduce your portion sizes. What happens when you go off it and still eat the same small portion sizes? The fibre isn't there to fill the gap and I think hunger may still be an issue. I am trying to reduce the pill intake by gradually reducing the amount of pills taken before a meal. I suspect this may work. After all, you have to change your lifestyle in order to keep the weight off! I have lost 5 pounds in 8 weeks (which doesn't seem like much; but, I have a heck of a time losing weight), so I'll continue to take it.

PGX...does all the things the advertising says....it has curbed my cravings,balanced my blood sugar and set me on a path to lose weight.I believe there are so many benefits to taking PGX,that I bought it for my 75 year old husband and my 85 year old father to take too.

Highly recommended. I feel full sooner and longer. Other products that control blood sugars, there is a crash, there is no crash with PGX.

I've tried this product 3 separate times and I'm convinced it is aweful. I gained weight on it each time even though I was only taking it to regain insulin sensitivity (I have insulin resistance but I'm not overweight). I bought the book, along with the End Hunger Forever book from the health food store. I read all about how you should start very slowly and only take one capsule until your digestive system adjusts. Well mine never adjusted --- even on just the one pill. I'm sick of the company saying I just needed to drink more water. I drank SOO much water I hardly felt like eating after. I have 12oz glasses and I would drink one full 12 oz with just one pill, then another full glass. So 24 oz for just one pill - the company recommends 8oz per pill. I don't think anyone at risk of a bowel obstruction or appendicitis should EVER take this. I was excited by the blood sugar claims, but the continuous constipation and bloating is a deal breaker.

4 days in and i feel like it is working in that I am not hungry throughout the day. My problem is after 7pm...so i decided to stock up on MAte tea and drink , drink, drink. If I do get a craving I have Kale chips (@ 15 calories per cup) I make them myself so I hope that in 3 months time I am down some pounds. I am only taking 2 pills per meal as they are (10 calories each). I am not having any issues with constipation either...feeling good:)

not seeing any effects of it yet.... and still hungry...was hoping it would satisfy my appetite so I can stay on a reduced diet without starving.

This pill is NOT designed as a "weight loss" pill. It is a pill that promotes healthy blood sugar levels, and "helps" to maintain weight etc...
It can aid you in weight loss, ONLY IF you are eating health balanced meals and exercising at least 30 minutes daily.
If you are looking to take a pill and have it make you loose weight, you're looking in the wrong place; and that's something that is just not healthy and wise anyway.
linda: about a year ago
I would like to thank you for making pgx daily. It has help me a lot on my weight loss. I have loss 30 lbs since I have been taking the pill.
Jennifer: about a year ago
These are amazing! I've lost almost 60 lbs on this! And not just the pills, you have to commit yourself 100% with healthy eating habits, AND EXERCISE. Girls, you just can't take the pills and not exercise and expect for the the pills to work magic!
Tina: about a year ago
I am now on #3 bottle of PGX 150 softgels each, I am feeling good, I think is really helps with the sugar levels in my body as I am not feeling sick or getting shaky when I am hungry but no weight loss. Although I feel better I am not loosing any weight and I really cut all junk food out of my diet.
Kymi: about a year ago
I was hopeful as others that this would work as advertised. Once again it is all words. I was on the pills for 3 months and did not lose a pound.

yoohoo: about a year ago
OMG this product is amazing. I have only been using it for a few days and have already lost 8lbs, and I feel fantastic, more energy, and not as tired as before. I bought this product because it was on sale thinking it was just another supplement, but omg it truly is amazing!
blaine: about a year ago
Great product, I have been on this product for 2 1/2 months and have lost 40 pounds. I now weigh 203 need to lose 8 more, my wife has lost 30 pounds. My wife takes four pills before a meal and I can only take 2 before a meal. I have recommended this product to our freinds. My boss came over at the Christmas party and asked if I was sick, he stated that his wife said that I lost so much weight since the last time she'd seen me. Our secretary made a comment to her table that my wife looked awesome for a 54 year old.
largetracks: about a year ago
I've been using this product for about 1 month, I haven't weighed myself yet. I was always feeling irritated and shakey when I was hungry and I needed to eat. Since I've started taking PGX those feelings have dissappeared. I feel like my blood sugar level has evened out. I will wait till the end of my 180 capsule bottle is gone for a complete impression...

Hi ,
I am on my second bottle and have not lost a pound! My goal was to even out my meal plan and not focus on loosing very much weight, however it would have been nice to have lost weight rather than gain it! I am taking 5 tablets before each meal. For the past 10 years I have eliminated my breakfast & lunches out of being too busy to eat. I now eat a light breakfast & lunch because this product has stimulated me to eat! As a result I have put on 5 lbs and have decided to stop taking this supplement as soon as I finish this bottle.

I have had similar results. I thought that this product would be a god send for me, because I have blood sugar issues. However I only had about 10 lbs I wanted to lose. Since PGX (I've been on it over a month) I now have 18lbs to loose... PGX made me gain 8 lbs. The ads state "PGX will change your life, even if you don't", so being a scientist I experimented with only 1 variable - taking the PGX. At first I thought the weight gain was due to the constipation it caused and the bloating. I've only just become "stable" in my bowels etc. that I feel like I could now up my dose to 3 tablets before each meal. I had constipation despite drinking excessively more than the 1-2 glasses of water recommended with each dose. (I drink 2 - 350ml glasses per 2 tablets).

Aseem Kobaisi: about a year ago
I have been using PGX for 12 days now. I am eating much smaller meals. I don't feel hungry at all in between meals. And the best thing about PGX is that I am still very energetic.
I can see a big difference in my body. But, I will not weigh myself untill I finish the 2 bottle I bought.
Pin: about a year ago
Ive been using PGX daily for 3 days now. I know it is to early to notice any change in weight, but i have noticed that i am no longer hungry between meals, never snaking and I am eating smaller portions. After seeing all of these positive comments I have great expectations for PGX daily.
Canadiancruejunkie: about a year ago
I am just starting this product and have great expectations from the reviews I've bseen here. However, Fatboy...in the book that I received with the gel caps it certainly DOES NOT tell you that you can eat what you want. For any weight loss to be successful you have to stop eating fried foods and junk food.

I have been using PGX for about 10 days now and have lost 6.5 pounds!!!!!!!!!!! Have more energy and feel better(for this alone it gets 5 stars).
Ande: about a year ago
I've been on PGX--albeit somewhat irregularly--for about three weeks. I think it is helping to suppress my appetite and I have dropped 8 lbs. Yes, I have changed my eating habits somewhat, smaller portions, no butter (I LOVE butter!) and much less bread. That said, I've tried dieting without PGX and my hunger always won the battle. I think PGX is really helping to beat that hunger back. Good luck to all who lose weight--any which way they can!
Dare2DV8: about a year ago
I've been using PGX Daily for a little over a month. I have altered my eating habits (less food intake), but have actually put on a good 9 lbs. Prior to using PGX I have always maintained the exact same weight. I feel like my stomach has gained all the weight. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this effect.
busykicking: about a year ago
I have been on this almost 2 wks now.....I have w/out for years and have gotten down to almost my goal weight and have kept it off....I gave this a try to see if I can step it up a little.....so far I have not noticed any difference except I felt bloated! Will give it a chance and see in a month's time and will re-evaluate my review.
NewToPGX: about a year ago
I don't snack at any time any more! I''m down 27 lbs in 2 1/2 months. This has been effortless as I don't get hungry very often now. My favs (chocolate and ice cream) don't appeal any more. My goal for 2009 is another 23 lbs. That will make it an even 50!!! Water is a must. A big salad before supper is a must as well. If I have a little crave in the evening I have a non-fat yogurt and possibly a Diet Coke. Pop works for me big time! Good luck.
Less of Me: about a year ago
I'm on the fence about PGX Daily. My results seem impressive. I'm eight weeks into my program and down just over 16 pounds. I lost 10 lbs in the first three weeks.
I don't find that PGX suppresses my appetite, I'm hungry. I altered my diet slowly, limited my carbonated beverages and fruit juices, drinking lots more water. My calories are down from over 2600 a day (BMR to maintain my weight at over 200 lbs) to less than 2000 a day. I'm burning almost 3000 calories a week in exercise, my average caloric intake over the 8 weeks is 1533 a day.
Is it the PGX or am I starving myself?
blondie: about a year ago
I have been using this for a week and have not seen a difference. I have actually gained weight. I will finish the bottle and form my opion after that.
fatboy: about a year ago
I tried 360 of these gels and I lost 5 lb. That's it. I built up to 5 tablets/meal. Drinking 500ml of water with each dosage certainly fills your stomach but I found I ate almost as much as prior to using PGX Daily. Weight loss was moderate that after the first month I stabilized. I was also exercising throughout this. Since they state you can eat what you want I didn't reduce my intake for the guilty food pleasures (e.g. donuts, fries). Quite disappointed.

I have been using this product for only a week and have already found a difference in my eating habits. I am eating less, not seeking out sweets and feel less tired after I eat. I am excited to see what the long term outcome will be for me using this product.
Grace: more than a year ago
I've been using PGX for about 2 weeks now and have lost 6-7 lbs. PGX was recommended to me by a friend. This is such an amazing product, that I have recommended it to other friends. People are noticing the weight loss, already, which is a real confidence booster, and I feel great ! Once I lose the weight I want, I will continue to use PGX, for maintainence.
Tom: more than a year ago
Another try at a "magic" pill that makes BIG promises, and may contribute to some weight loss for some people WHILE they are taking it. BUT when you stop taking PGX it all comes back..
Change your lifestyle, eat less and better and exercise more, and stop taking the easy way out.
