WHAT IS THE AFRICAN MANGO
The African Mango is a mango-like fruit that comes from the Irvingia Gabonensis tree, a tree native to West Africa. For thousands of years, the local population used it as a staple in their diet as well as for medicinal purposes
Does African Mango Have Side Effects?
Because African Mango is a natural fruit extract, side effects are very rare and mild.
In fact, African Mango alone is thought to have no side effects at all. In one study where a mixture of Irvingia Gabonensis (African Mango) and Cissus Quadrangularis (Veldt Grape) was tested, very mild side effects such as headaches, excessive gas, and sleep problems were found. These same side effects were also found in the placebo group, who were given only Cissus Quadrangularis, so the side effects did not come from African Mango.
So the next question is, how does African Mango help you lose weight?
1. Acts As a Fat Burner
African Mango is a natural superfood that can aid in weight loss by helping the body burn fat. Studies have shown that African Mango extract increases fat burning through accelerating the metabolism naturally, and helping the body burn stored fat. So basically, while taking African Mango, you will have a much easier time burning fat.
African Mango also contains no stimulants, so it is safe for virtually anyone to use, whether you are looking to lose 20 pounds or are just trying to get over a plateau and shed a few pounds.
2. Suppresses Your Appetite Through Regulating Leptin
Leptin has been identified as a major hormone contributing to obesity. It is the hormone that tells your body it has had enough to eat. Lower Leptin levels cause your body to get more cravings, which makes you eat more. This makes it very difficult to lose weight. But when your Leptin levels are raised and regulated, you do not feel the cravings to eat as much.
African Mango acts as a Leptin regulator, helping your body regulate the amount of Leptin it needs to feel full. This is a major benefit of African Mango – you feel full, so you eat less!
3. Delays Digestion
African Mango also helps to delay the process of gastric emptying, meaning your food will digest much slower, helping you to stay full for longer. When combined with the effects of Leptin, this can aid weight loss significantly.
4. High Source of Fiber
African Mango is also a very high source of soluble fiber which helps to suppress your appetite. Fiber also acts as a bulk forming laxative, which helps you to get rid of the waste in your body.
