African Mango Extra Strength with Green Tea

African Mango Extra Strength with Green Tea is a pretty simple breakdown. It’s presented as a powerful weight loss formula meant to decrease body weight while specifically targeting annoying belly fat, and most of the advertising is focused on an ingredient called African Mango. We’ve seen a lot of what African Mango Extra Strength with Green Tea might call “university research”. After all, African Mango Extra Strength with Green Tea isn’t exactly the only product using it.

The University Studies

We’ve done the research before on African Mango, and there are plenty of reviews both on African mango and the products that use it. But regardless of which of our reviews you read, or if you visit other sites all together, you’ll find the same studies.

In one 4 week long study, published in 2005 in the Journal Lipids in Health and Disease, 40 overweight people were given Irvingia Gabonensis or oat bran 30 minutes before meals. Both groups were put on a low fat diet, eating about 1800 calories a day. After 4 weeks, the Irvingia gabonensis group lost about 5.6% of their body weight while the oat bran group only lost about 1%.

Likewise, in a 10 week study, published in 2009 in the same journal, 102 healthy and overweight men and women were tested. This group was split into a placebo group and an Irvingia Gabonensis group, and at the end of that 10 weeks, it was noted that leptin levels improved in the Irvingia Gabonensis group (because leptin is a hormone that contributes to increased obesity).

What Does All of This Mean?

This is of course our evaluation of the whole situation. But these aren’t the only clinical studies that show that African Mango works. And all studies seem to point toward the same thing: African Mango promotes weight loss. Different studies have technically used different doses. But we’ve found that 150mg seems to be enough for any product. African Mango Extra Strength with Green Tea uses 350mg. In other words, we’re pretty sure that African Mango Extra Strength with Green Tea has enough African Mango to do the job.

What About Green Tea?

If you’ve been trapped in a barn for the past 20 years, you haven’t heard of hoodia, reservatrol, Justin Bieber, or green tea. And despite the hype, green tea is the only one of those ingredients that has ever been clinically proven to burn fat. But if you’ve been around, you’ve heard of green tea and the hundreds of studies that prove that it works. And I’m not actually exaggerating when I say hundreds.

The only problem is that the studies on green tea aren’t so lenient on the amounts. The studies we’ve seen are pretty clear that a product would have to use at least 400mg, and it’s the caffeine in green tea that actually burns fat. African Mango Extra Strength with Green Tea uses 150mg, and it is decaffeinated green tea. In other words, we think that the green tea in African Mango Extra Strength with Green Tea might promote healthy antioxidant benefits, but not weight loss.

The End Story

We’re pretty sure that African Mango Extra Strength with Green Tea will promote weight loss. It has 350mg of Irvingia Gabonensis/African Mango, which is more than enough to burn fat, suppress appetite and a lot more. It doesn’t have the benefits of green tea, which at this point seems like an added perk to us. But with the African Mango, we figure that it’s worth a chance.
