Different researches on Irvingia gabonensis are going on, and the researchers from different universities are also trying to find out about the product for its better use especially for weight loss.
Researchers at the University of Yaounde and University of Ngaoundere have studied the weight loss benefits of Irvingia gabonensis. These weight reducing properties were indicated in a previous in vitro study. Thus, these researchers decided to research its effects in living organisms (people), rather than the laboratory vessel. The researchers reported their findings in the journal Lipids in Health and Disease on March 2, 2009.
In the clinical trial the participants received 150 mg twice a day prior to dining. This yielded fecund improvements in these areas of health.
* Body fat
* Body weight
* Waist circumference
* C-reactive protein (measurement of inflammation)
* Lepton levels
The researchers collected about 102 persons and thought of taking a survey whether the African mango benefits them or not. Some were given to eat the African mango and its extracts whereas some were not given. They were kept over observation for about 10 weeks and the conclusion was drawn out. Those consuming extracts were able to lose their weight near about 28 pounds. Their cholesterol level was low and the sugar level was also low whereas others who were not given the extract did not show any progress. Those researchers finally said that the use of African mango can actually reduce weight and moreover it can help to fight against obesity. However, some persons from both the groups complained about the side effects such as headache, insomnia and gas as well.
The researchers concluded that the product was not so bad for the use by people with obesity and overweight. It is very beneficial in controlling the weight, fats in the body, high cholesterol, sugar, protein levels, ‘adiponectin’ and ‘leptin’ levels also. These all were seen in the group.
Consuming 150 milligrams per day will definitely help those persons with obesity, over weight, cholesterols, etc. and very important changes will be seen within some weeks.
Hence, using ‘Irvingia gabonensis’ can be the best method to lose weight, control fat and maintain the body fit and healthy. The highly recommended one is the extract that is obtained from the seeds found in the Cameroon.
