Agar Powder 2 oz. | NOW Foods
NOW Foods Real Foods Agar Powder is a gluten-free food derived from marine red algae. Agar Powder can be used for cooking, as a vegetable substitute for gelatin. Many customers add it to soups, jelly, ice cream, and many other foods.
Agar Powder is sometimes used for weight loss, denistry, and as a treatment for diabetes and constipation. It also works quite well as a laxative. Agar stimulates the intestines to produce bowel movements. Although some people use it for weight loss, more research is needed to confirm this application.
