Hi this is Oakdale MN chiropractor Dr. Ben Smetana and i found this great article in our Doctor resource right on our website. The article talks about a recent weight loss study that uses African Mango. The test group lost 28lbs in 10 weeks while the control group lost almost nothing!
Extract of African mango (Irvingia gabonensis) is a hot newcomer to the weight-loss scene.
While residents of Cameroon on Africa’s West coast have used African mango seeds for centuries, as a thickener in soups and sauces, African mango has recently grown in popularity in other parts of the world—not as a food, but as a weight-loss aid that may also help lower cholesterol levels. The best part? It doesn’t seem to have any side effects.
