African Mango

The benefits of African Mango are

The West African mango is grown in the Cameroon rain forest of Africa and is commonly referred to as wild mango or bush mango. The extraordinary health benefits do not come from the sugary fruit but instead from the seed extract, which contains an abundance of healthy fats and fiber.

Scientists believe the African Mango seed extract acts to powerfully enhance leptin sensitivity. Leptin is a hormone released from fat cells that interacts with specific receptor sites in the hypothalamus of the brain to stimulate fat burning and feelings of satiety. An inflammatory diet and lifestyle creates a surge of C reactive protein, which damages the sensitive leptin receptor sites in the hypothalamus. This creates a state of leptin resistance, which leads to increased hunger, weight gain and obesity.

The African mango seems to lower C-reactive protein which enhances leptin sensitivity. This improves overall satiety and turns on the fat burning switch. Additionally, it increases a hormone called adiponectin, which improves glucose and fat metabolism. Adiponectin is also released by fat cells and acts on cells to improve insulin sensitivity. Increased levels of this hormone are associated with lower body fat percentage.
