The new super fruit helps burn fat, speeds up metabolism and increases the feeling of satiety.
African mango is one of the most current and modern means of weight loss, especially popular in the United States.
The extract of the so-called new superfruit is gaining popularity in the fight against obesity, acts as a fat burner, speeds up metabolism and increases the feeling of satiety .
The African mango is known in botany by its Latin name Irvingia Gabonensis , originating in Central and West Africa.
According to clinical studies, African mango helps control cholesterol and blood glucose levels .
A study by the University of Yaounde included 102 adults who were overweight. Participants take African mango seed extract twice a day for 10 weeks. The results show that volunteers lose an average of 6 kg in one month without following a special diet or exceeding normal levels of physical activity.
At the same time, participants showed a decrease in the levels of bad - LDL cholesterol , as well as in blood sugar levels .
Laboratory studies show that African mango seeds inhibit the production of body fat by affecting certain genes and enzymes that regulate metabolism.
Scientists believe that the African mango promotes weight loss by controlling the level of leptin in the bloodstream.
Leptin is known as the satiety hormone. It is produced by fat cells and reaches the cerebral cortex through the bloodstream. There, leptin binds to certain receptors and suppresses the feeling of hunger. In this way the body is protected from excessive food intake.
People who are obese or overweight usually have high levels of leptin, which means that their cells have become resistant to the hormone. The natural extract of African mango helps to overcome the big appetite, says Dr. Julius Auben, head of the study published in the journal Lipids in Health and Disease .
According to the research team, the new superfruit has the qualities to participate in the fight against the global problem of obesity and related diseases.
Research on the properties of the African mango continues.
