AFRICAN MANGO EXTRACT
The obesity epidemic in North America is a public health crisis that has sadly started to creep into the developing world, thanks to them adopting our less than exemplary nutritional habits. African mango (Irvingia gabonensis) extract is a supplement that is marketed as a safe and effective weight-loss aid.
These supplements usually feature an extract from the seeds of the African mango tree native to Central and West Africa that produces a fruit similar to a mango. This fruit boasts a rich nutritional profile including loads of dietary fibre, amino acids, essential fatty acids, and minerals. There is considerable evidence that soluble fibre delays stomach emptying which directly helps to reduce appetite. Just as interestingly, soluble fibre has been shown to help maintain post-prandial glycemia (thus preventing blood sugar spikes), which not only helps control blood sugar metabolism disorders including diabetes but also helps maintain satiety for longer, while preventing sugar cravings.
Last but certainly not least, studies on this extract have demonstrated that it help prevent adipogenesis or the development of fat cells from pre-adipocytes, as well as modulates leptin signalling and adiponectin levels in the body, thus helping to regulate hunger, as well as food intake and energy expenditure.
Benefits Of African Mango Extract
- Boosts Metabolism
- Helps Suppress Appetite
- Improves Insulin Sensitivity
- Supports Weight Loss
Who Should Take African Mango Extract?
Anyone who is battling the bulge would be a good candidate for African Mango Extract. Indeed, it’s an ideal supplement to help enhance one’s overall weight-loss efforts (along with diet and exercise) and support weight loss goals. Those looking for help with appetite control, as well as anyone dealing with persistent food cravings, and blood sugar metabolism issues could greatly benefit from this supplement. It’s worth mentioning that research has also demonstrated that this extract drastically reduces cholesterol (up to 40%), even when no other lifestyle modifications are applied.
African Mango Extract Supplement Varieties
African Mango Seed extract is available in various forms from powder, to capsules, and even liquids. The supplements typically supply 150 mg per dose and the recommended daily dose is usually in the 150 to 300 mg dose, taken 30 to 60 minutes before a meal.
Final Thoughts
With the growing popularity of African Mango Extract (especially after Dr. Oz called it a “Miracle in your Medicine Cabinet”), there’s been an increase in the number of such supplements on the market, including many that do not even contain actual African Mango Extract. As such, you should look for a product from a reputable brand, that has been third party tested for purity and quality purposes. This should be clearly stipulated in the product label.
