African Mango Seed Extract is a standardized extract from the seeds of Irvingia gabonensis, a West African fruit. People take it to keep blood sugar steady and manage appetite as part of a healthy diet.
Take the extract 30 to 60 minutes before meals. Typical doses range from 150 to 300 mg taken twice daily. Exact amounts depend on the product.
Limited evidence points to some weight management support. The extract can influence blood sugar levels, so people with diabetes or taking glucose-lowering medications should use caution.
