African Mango

African Mango

African Mango helps break down fat!

African mango, also known as bush mango (irvingia gabonensis) is a tree native to the West African rain forests. The medicinal part of the plant is the kernel, called ogbono by the local people who traditionally either grind it into powder and add it to food as a thickener, or eat the plain nut in its natural state. The fruit resembles the true mango and is enjoyed for its delicious taste. For centuries this plant has been valued by the people of the rain forests for its medicinal benefits.

Research studies into African mango’s medicinal actions have shown impressive weight loss outcomes in overweight and obese people, with confirmed fat burning and cholesterol lowering properties. The African mango nut’s high fibre content makes it a bulk-forming laxative and also facilitates removal of excess cholesterol from the body. The weight loss mechanism is also in the bulk-forming nature of the nut, which slows stomach emptying, delaying the digestive process and retaining the feeling of fullness for a longer period. This helps reduce the appetite as well as slowing down dietary sugar absorption, which has a balancing effect on blood sugar levels.

Metabolic markers indicating improved gastro-intestinal health and fat metabolism have been seen in clinical trials. In one study of overweight or obese subjects taking African mango supplements, results showed lower body weight, reduced body fat, improved metabolism and lowered cholesterol. In addition, they showed improved management of hormones that influence fat metabolism and blood sugar levels. This indicates African mango’s potential role in maintaining glycaemic balance in people with diabetes, as well as helping reduce the diabetes risk factors inherent in overweight people.

Both its long history of use as a food and the results of modern research studies show African mango kernel is a safe herbal supplement for adults in need of natural weight management support, with no adverse effects reported.

At present collection, processing and marketing of the annual African mango kernel harvest is largely the province of village women and children. Only about 10% of the harvest is from planted crops, the rest being gathered from the natural rain forests. As collection intensifies due to international export demand, sustainability becomes a critical issue. If we are to support the ongoing sustainability of not only the African mango crop, but the villagers who live nearby, we need to buy from producers that invest in well-planned cultivation that maintains biodiversity, medicinal quality and the wellbeing of the local population [see 'African Mango Sustainability' below - Ed].

We queried our supplier regarding the sustainability of their Super African Mango 15000 product.  Their answers are as follows.  We’re hoping for some more details and will publish them here as they become available.

q) Is the mango kernel used harvested from the wild, or plantation sources, or both?
a) The Mango kernels are from both plantation sources and the wild.  Approximately 10-12% of the product is sourced from planted crop while the rest is gathered in the wild.

q) Is there any assurance of the sustainability of this harvest? Is anyone overseeing this?
a) Yes! It is monitored by an international herbal foundation, The International Herbal Association.

q) Are the harvesters and any other local people involved being paid a fair and reasonable wage?
a) We do not purchase from the ones that don’t.

    Does the super african mango actually work? It sounds really really good but I want tow know that it’s not a scam? And is it going to be available in pharmacies in nz?

    1. Anya (HealthPost)

      Hi Eve. Well, the feedback from people using Super African Mango has been very positive (and we’ve had huge interest since we starting stocking it). There is a 5-star review of the Super African Mango that you might like to read.

      As far as availability in pharmacies goes – please check with your local pharmacy as they should be able to tell you.

      Thanks for your questions, Anya

    Can i take this product while breast feeding?

    1. Anya (HealthPost)

      Hi Kaz,

      The advice from the manufacturer is … Pregnant or nursing mothers, children under the age of 18 years, and people with a known medical condition should consult a healthcare professional before using this product.

      best wishes, Anya

      (This advice can be found on the product page by clicking on the ‘Precautions’ tab)

  5. shona

    Hi does the african mango cause heart to race is it high in caffeine

    1. Abel (HealthPost)

      Hi Shona,
      There’s no caffeine in African Mango Seed extract itself and likewise none in the Super African Mango 1200 supplement we stock, which contains only this as an active ingredient. It certainly shouldn’t cause your heart to race. There may be caffeine in some other African Mango supplement formulations though, often in the form of other ingredients like Green Tea, Guarana or Coffee Bean extract. I’d suggest checking the ingredients of any particular product you’re considering closely. Hope this helps :-)

  6. Ann

    Thrilled with African Mango pills. Have been taking them for 2 months and already lost over 5 kilos.
    I have been overweight for many years and tried many different diets which all work for a while but arent sustainable. The stumbling block for me was always feeling so very hungry as I would loose the will to diet. The African Mango pills definitely curb my appetite. I have lost the midriff roll of fat which worried me most and can feel an improvement in my knees which used to ache with the extra weight they were having to support. Even when I stop taking the pills I find my stomach must’ve shrunk as I dont feel comfortable eating the big meals I used to…. so I dont. At 71 I thought I might be too old to loose weight but at last…. something that works for me with no artificial chemicals

  7. Samantha

    Hey check out everything, there is a scam going on. Once you log your details into the system you are locked in and can’t get out unless you cancel your credit cards and get a new one. Be very careful, any phone numbers check them out first, read the terms and agreements.
    My friend had this scam and it’s not nice. But the saying goes, what goes around, comes around.

    1. Abel (HealthPost)

      Hi Samantha,

      Thanks for your comments. We’ve also heard reports of an African Mango scam in NZ whereby some websites (operating from outside NZ as far as we know) are charging customers’ credit cards illegally and/or without ever the sending goods.

      Please be assured that HealthPost is a legitimate New Zealand business which has been trading since 1988 with many thousands of loyal customers. There’s no way we’re operating or in any way connected with any kind of African Mango scam. When you buy African Mango from us (as with any order on our website), your credit card details will be kept 100% secure at all times and charged only the exact amount you agree to at the point of order. If in NZ, you can expect to receive delivery of your goods, exactly as ordered, within 2 working days via CourierPost.

      The Super African Mango 1200 product we stock is manufactured in the USA in a GMP Certified facility. It contains 600mg of African Mango Seed Extract per capsule. While it’s admittedly still relatively new to the market, we’ve had some good feedback on this product already – as per the African Mango reviews above and on our website. We’re looking forward to further reviews from our customers over the next few weeks – and if they’re not happy with the results, we won’t be either. There is admittedly a lot of hype around this product and we are a bit concerned that inevitably some people’s expectations won’t be met.

      To avoid falling victim to an African Mango scam, we’d strongly suggest that you only buy it online from an established supplement supplier for whom it will only be one product among hundreds or thousands of other products stocked. The website should also clearly list a physical address and contact details and, given the issues we’ve heard of, we’d recommend purchasing African Mango via credit card from a NZ website only. If you’ve been the victim of an African Mango scam in NZ, we’d suggest referring to the ‘Scams’ section of the Ministry of Consumer Affairs website or NetSafe for further advice. The issuing bank of your credit card may also be able to help by investigating any unauthorised activity on your card.

      Thanks again for raising this issue Samantha and allowing us the chance to respond. Hopefully we’ve been able to contribute something of use to others in the process.

      Cheers, Abel

  8. Coreen

    I would just like to ‘backup’ what Abel has said. I have been using Healthpost for quite sometime now and have only compliments to give this site and their products. Well done and keep up the good work.

    1. Abel (HealthPost)

      Thanks for your kind words Coreen – we really appreciate your support!

  9. Janice Dunn

    How many pills do you have to take daily please?
    Janice

    1. Abel (HealthPost)

      Hi Janice – the recommended dosage is 2 capsules daily 30 minutes before a main meal.

  10. Denise

    Hi,
    I ordered this product from you recently and am starting to use it now. On the bottle it says take two capsules before main meal but I see a recommendation here that one capsule before two different meals is a better option. Which do you advise and why?
    Thanks,
    Denise

    1. Abel (HealthPost)

      Hi Denise,
      Our interpretation of the dosage instructions on the bottle is that they’re not specifically suggesting taking 2 African Mango capsules at once before one particular main meal each day, but rather indicating that total dosage should be 2 capsules per day, both taken (either together or separately) 30 minutes before a main meal. We’d recommend taking 1 capsule before breakfast and the other before either lunch or dinner as most likely being optimal. The rationale being just that taking a smaller amount of a nutrient more frequently is typically more effective than taking a larger amount less frequently. This may not always be the case, but in the absence of any information to the contrary, we’d suggest it’s the best way to take African Mango. I hope this is helpful. Cheers, Abel

  11. Jannis

    Hi, the recommended daily intake is 2 caps before a main meal but I have seen others being before every meal. Why the difference? Thanks.

    1. Abel (HealthPost)

      Hi Jannis,
      Please see my reply to Denise re a very similar question directly above your post. I hope this helps but please do feel free to enquire further if you’ve any more questions. Cheers, Abel

  12. Lynda

    Hi, Are there any contraindications at this stage? I’ve put on weight thanks to hormone levels that are dropping and currently take Black Cohosh and Dong Quai (along with the occasional DHEA and multivitamin and progesterone cream). This combo is working well for most symptoms just not weight loss. Can I add African Mango to the mix as well?

    1. Anya (HealthPost)

      Hi Lynda – whilst we are not aware of any contraindications for this product, since it is a relatively new supplement we would suggest you consult your own health professional to be on the safe side. All the best for your hip replacement! cheers, Anya

  13. sueann jones

    Hi there
    is this product a similar one to the svetol. Does it do the same thing or better.
    What do you recommend for energy levels? I train hard and give myself rest days but am quite tried and lacking in energy. What do you recommend?
    Would love your feed back. thanks heaps
    Sueann jones

    1. Anya (HealthPost)

      Hi Sueann, yes it is similar in that it also supports stable sugar levels and helps manage food cravings. However the actual ingredients are not the same and work in different ways.

      Svetol contains Green Coffee Bean extract – the active ingredient (Chlorogenic acid) works to support stable sugar levels in the blood and encourages the use of stored fat instead of carbohydrates, as the preferred source of fuel.

      African Mango contains only the nut extract from the mango, which suppresses the appetite by affecting the amount of leptin in the bloodstream. Leptin is the hormone secreted by the brain when the body has had enough to eat.

      As far as boosting your energy levels – a good Vitamin B Complex can do wonders. Also extremely good for energy is Maca Root (see also our Maca Root info).

      I hope I have been of some help to you. best wishes, Anya

  14. Teuila

    Damn I just purchased African mango product from an overseas site before even looking to see if it is sold here in NZ. After reading comments and seeing that its $50 cheaper I am definitely going to cancel. I read a comment regarding a scam so it looks like id need to cancel my credit card but first i’ll try their live chat service. Fingers crossed

    1. Abel (HealthPost)

      What a pity! I hope you’re able to cancel your order without any problems Teuila. All The Best

  15. Karla

    Hi there have been on African Mango for 2 wks, have certainly lost my appetite but have lost no weight, any ideas why? or how long u can expect to see results. as am very keen to keep going with it! cheers :)

    1. Abel (HealthPost)

      Hi Karla,
      Thanks for your comments. With African Mango, as with any weight loss supplement, you can expect best results when combined with a sensible diet and plenty of exercise. Not to say you haven’t done so of course, but if not, this would be worth considering. It’s also recommended to take for a minimum of 5 weeks for optimum results. Just speaking in general terms now, there’s a lot of ‘hype’ around African Mango in the market and we’re a bit concerned that people are taking it without making any other changes to their diet or lifestyle, and expecting near-instant results. While it has a long history of traditional use, and recent research has been promising, these kind of ‘miracle results’ might be a little too much to expect – especially for those eating poorly and/or not getting enough exercise. The African Mango reviews we’ve received lately would also seem to indicate that it’s more effective for some people than others. I wish we knew more but hopefully this is helpful all the same. I hope you start seeing the results you want soon. Cheers

  16. Natalie

    Hi there, I’m interested in trying the African Mango but I don’t like Gelatin Capsules (as I am a vegetarian!) do you think it would be okay to open the capsules and sprinkle the contents in water or something like that? Thanks

    1. Anya (HealthPost)

      Hi Natalie – yes that would be absolutely okay. It might not dissolve, so you could always add it to food (but probably not if you are going to heat the food afterwards and probably best to add to a smoothie AFTER you’ve blended it). All the best, Anya

  17. Ayesh

    Hi there, I have suffered from PCOS for the last few years and I have been on the birth control pill to control my hormones. I am quite interested in the African mango pill to help me with weight loss. I haven’t been able to find any information on this idea but I was wondering if the African Mango pill would have any effect on the hormone of the pill or any other effect on the actions of the pill? Thanks

    1. Anya (HealthPost)

      Hello Ayesh – we would recommend that you consult with your doctor, as he/she should know more about your particular contraceptive pill and whether it is likely to be affected in any way. All the best, Anya

  18. gwendoline cooney

    I started super african mango last week and have suffered from gastrointestinal problems since taking it. bloating, diarrhea and not sleeping well.
    Is it because it is such a high dose?
    Kind regards gwendoline

    1. Anya (HealthPost)

      Hi Gwendoline – sorry to hear you’ve been having problems and thanks for letting us know. Unfortunately some people do experience some of these symptoms (as we’ve indicated on the product page) but apparently this is a temporary adjustment as your body elimates toxins. Perhaps you could just take 1 a day and see how you get on, then increase if you wish later. However, if the symptoms persist then you should stop using it (you can also contact us directly at info@healthpost.co.nz). I hope this improves for you. Best wishes, Anya

  19. Margaret

    Hi. I am abit like Karla. I have been taking it for just over a week, have lost no weight
    on the scales but I can actually feel body fat is going. I have not lost my appetite as yet but really do not eat big meals anyway and not alot of meat. I do exercise 30min walk each day. I feel more energetic and do not feel bloated so I guess it is working.
    I am looking forward to those scales going down though.
    I am excited about how I feel though. Margaret.

  20. Margaret

    Well it is 2 weeks now and have lost no weight on the scales but I feel okay. I actually want to eat more than usual so not sure what is going on there. I dont feel bloated so that has to be good. I would love to know how those people lost so much weight in the first week because not a happening thing with me. I am not going to stop taking the African Mangoe pills. I am also taking the Colon cleanse as well. Help!!!! Thanks Margaret.

  21. Saritha

      Hello Saritha,

    African mango well trim
    Is a type one diabetic able to take these pils.

    1. Candy

      Hi Sheryl, I have consulted with a Naturopath regarding this, and unfortunately the Radiance WellTrim product is not to be used in conjunction with hypoglycemic agents, so if you are type one diabetic, this product should not be taken. Hope this is helpful. Kind regards.

    2. sheryl

      Hi I wrote back in august and just want to let you know that I have been taking well trim african mango for 6 weeks now . Been a type one diabetic was a bit worried about taking this as did not see your reply till now. I am very happy to say I have lost 5 kilos and have have better sugar control.

  25. Alex

    My girlfriend has ordered some African Mango pills and will be starting them soon. She however, has PCOS. Has there been any information or reviews from people about taking the pills while suffering from PCOS?

    1. Toni

      Thanks Alex for your query. African Mango has no Phytoestrogens nor any hormonal precursors & shouldn’t adversely affect anyone with PCOS as it doesn’t work within the body on a hormonal level. We are not aware of any research or feedback regarding PCOS. We’d recommend a discussion with a Health Professional if you have further concerns. Best wishes, Toni

  26. Michael. Greig

    Hi.
    Iam a type two diabetic can I take these pills or am I the same as the type one diabetic blog.

    Thank you Michael.

    1. Toni

      Hi Michael, Our Customer Services team advise the following: If you’re a Type 1 Diabetic, African Mango is definitely not to be taken. If you’re a Type 2 Diabetic & on medication, African Mango is a contraindication & is not to be taken! However, if you are not on medication or are diagnosed as a Pre-Diabetic, there are no issues with taking African mango supplements. I hope this helps with your research Michael. Best wishes, Toni

  27. sheryl

    I have been on tablet Well trim for the past 5 weeks and have lost 6 kilos with no exercise. Very happy and can feel it in my clothing. See you in another 5 weeks. good luck everyone out there.

  28. key

    I have been taking the Welltrim African Mango tablets now going onto 3 weeks. In 2 weeks I lost 3.6kgs…. I’m like blown away… so I’m excited to see where this will take my body. My pharmacist encouraged me to try Welltrim as she said it was safe with my blood pressure and all…

  29. Jetta

    I’m wondering what happens when you’ve reached your goal weight and you stop taking it…does your appetite go up again and will the weight just return?

    1. Toni

      Dear Jetta, Thanks for your question. Here’s an answer from our Customer Service team: “Once your weight goal has been met, gradually stop taking the African Mango. Please continue to monitor your eating habits. Your stomach may have decreased in size, enabling you to continue with your new eating pattern.” I hope this answer helps with your research. Cheers, Toni (HealthPost)

  30. Vanessa

    Hi
    my partner and I are trying to get pregnant. I have raised cholesterol and have gained some weight from fertility drugs which were not successful.
    I am no longer seeing the fertility clinic but know that the better my health the better my chances of falling pregnant.
    Are there any issues with taking this if I am trying to get pregnant or fall pregnant while taking it?
    Thanks

    1. Toni

      Thanks for your question Vanessa, As there has been little testing of this product during pregnancy and although there are no known adverse effects in pregnancy, we would strongly suggest that African Mango is not to be taken while trying to conceive, pregnant or breastfeeding. If theres any chance of conception, it’s best not to risk the delicate early stages of the embryo. African Mango a relatively new supplement in the western world at these doses. Best wishes for getting pregnant and may your good health improve as you take care of yourself even more. Cheers, Toni (HealthPost)

  31. Jenny

    Hi, I’m currently taking the Super African Mango 6000 and am considering taking the MaritzMayer African Mango Cleanse in conjunction with it. Is this a safe combination?
    Thanks

    1. Toni

      Hi Jenny, We are in the process of contacting our supplier & obtaining Naturopathic advice to be able to answer your query. We will answer your question as soon as we hear back.

    2. Mirai

      Hi Jenny, unfortunately we still haven’t received a response from our supplier in the US regarding your enquiry. As such our in-house Naturopath has looked into this herself and found that, as African Mango is still a relatively new product, there hasn’t been enough research into it to provide a well-informed reply. However she feels that the large amount of active ingredients in the Cleanse formula, combined with African Mango’s manipulation of blood sugar levels in the body, may be too much for some people and she wouldn’t recommend using both products together at this stage. If we do hear back from our suppliers regarding this we will post their reply. Thanks Jenny, we hope this helps.

    3. Mirai

      Hi again Jenny. We have now had a reply from our supplier which states that they would not recommend the Cleanse and the African Mango 6000 be taken simultaneously. Instead they suggest taking the Cleanse first for several days, as it helps to clear waste and detoxify, then stop taking the Cleanse and start with the African Mango 6000.
      They also advise consulting with your doctor around this sort of question. Thanks very much Jenny, hopefully this clarifies things for you. All the best!

  32. Karen Ryan

    Just started it today really excited … what are the side effects please

    1. Toni

      Hi Karen, Great to hear you are ready for action! Hope you have a very positive journey with your course of African Mango. Any possible side effects that may be experienced would just be the usual ones some people may experience when taking supplements. These may be a gastro intestinal upset or headache possibly due to a hypoglycaemic reaction. Remember to drink lots of water and take notice of changes in your body. Best wishes for your lifestyle changes, Toni (HealthPost)

  33. Avril

    I have just re-ordered more African Mango capsules. On 29th Oct 2012 I started watching my weight by eating healthily and cutting out junk, no more cakes and ice cream, chocolate etc. I weighed 95.5 kg I’m ashamed to say. I’m not that great on exercising either. I also started on a course of African Mango, 2 caps daily. To date I have lost 12.3 kg. I am sure the capsules have helped enormously as I have tried to lose weight before without too much success. Each week there is a regular drop of 700gms – 1kg. I have had no ill side effects, and think the extra energy I feel could be partly due to the excess weight I am not hauling round any more, and quite likely from the capsules also. Highly recommended!! :)

    Hello,

    I would like to find out whether you gain weight back when you stop taking the pills? or is there a recommended time period to take pills to ensure you don’t gain the weight back?

      Hi Sya. The most beneficial way to take the African Mango supplement is to take it until you have achieved your preferred weight goal. And then slowly wean your self from these, whilst constantly maintaining your new diet routine. Best wishes, Anya
