African mango extract (Irvingia gabonensis)

This is a concentrated extract of the African mango, it helps to stimulate fat loss while promoting healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels (Ngondi, Oben & Minka, The effect of Irvignia gabonensis seeds on body weight and blood lipids of obese subjects in Cameroon, Lipids in Health and Disease 2005).

Epidemiological studies in African tribal populations have shown people who use the African mango extract as a paste to thicken soups up to 10 times per week had low incidences of obesity, diabetes and related diseases.

These observations have led to the development of a concentrated extract that may assist fat loss while maintaining a healthy body balance.

Leptin is a hormone that inhibits food intake in people of normal body weight by reducing the hunger signals from the brain. However, obese individuals often produce so much leptin that their cells become resistant to it. The African mango extract used in Swisse Ultiboost Trimshot was shown to improve leptin sensitivity, helping to reduce appetite and subsequent food intake.
