African Mango Seed Extract
Brand: Z Natural Foods
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
The primary active compound in African Mango seed extract is Irvingia gabonensis, which influences adiponectin levels at the cellular level. Higher adiponectin promotes fatty acid oxidation and improves insulin sensitivity in adipocytes. Studies suggest it may inhibit glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, reducing fat storage and supporting metabolic rate. This mechanism helps regulate leptin, a hormone signaling satiety, potentially curbing appetite and enhancing energy expenditure in metabolic tissues.
