Speedy Weight Loss

If you are one to keep up with the latest diet programs and products than by now you have already heard about the Irvingia Gabonensis or better known as the African Mango. Its the weight loss supplement darling this year.

The African Mango and African Mango extract have been highlighted and talked about on a few popular television shows and it appears to be very promising as a super fruit and also as a weight loss type product. Those who are looking to lose some weight have been following along with the news and magazines very closely to see if the African Mango will be this years hot diet product and one that will work for them.

After all this supplement has some really big claims surrounding it but doesnt have years and years of studies to show whether or not the African Mango in supplement form will perform as well as the actual fresh fruit which you cant find at your local grocery store. Some do claim that there have been studies on the African Mango for about 20 years, but I have not been able to corroborate that fact.

The extract version is processed from the seed of the African Mango, or Irvingia Gabonensis.  It is said to be a fat burner and an appetite suppressant to help dieters and also has a few other health benefits to boot.

Well, there have been several studies where each were conducted over a 28 day period.  The average weight loss for the group was 3 pounds per week. The subjects were tested without changing their diets and they did not add exercise into their routines.   I have not seen how large a  group this was, how many times the experiment was done or if the research was sponsored by a company who have interests in the African Mango extract.

There have been other studies however, that do show this information such as the following one.

In a clinical research study conducted at the University of Yaounde in Cameroon, 102 overweight participants were given either the African Mango extract or a placebo, which they took  two times daily for a period of ten weeks. Those in the study were told to not to change their current diet or exercise plans during those 10 weeks. The participants did not know whether they were taking a placebo (sugar pill) or the African Mango extract.

By the end of the study, those who had taken the African Mango extract pills lost weight — an average of roughly 28 pounds — while those who took just the placebo showed little or no change in body weight. There was also a reduction in bad LDL cholesterol noted in those who took the plant extract.

Is African Mango just another diet supplement that will be popular this year and then fade away? Diet and exercise are not suggested to lose weight – this could seem to be an unrealistic claim.  At this time, there are no known side effects and the research study in Cameroon appears to prove the fat-burning properties of African Mango.

Is African mango extract going to work for everyone?  Only you and your doctor can decide if this supplement is a product for you to try.  Yes, always, always check with your doctor before starting any new diet, taking an over the counter diet product or new exercise plan.  Although the African Mango is said to be all natural so are peanuts and milk, yet some people are allergic and have reactions. So be safe and check first. Most manufacturers offer some sort of money back guarantee for their products, so if your doctor approves and you dont lose weight you can always ask for a refund.  But if it does work for you.

The African Mango is definitely an interesting product and one that has become quite popular in a short time since it has been commercially and readily available.  Is it too good to be true?  Maybe or maybe not. Only those who try the African Mango extract will know for sure.
