What it is
Irvingia gabonensis grows in the forests of West and Central Africa. The fruit is eaten fresh, and the seeds are ground into a thickener for soups.
The research
The official site lists a study on Irvingia gabonensis seeds and body weight and blood lipids in obese people in Cameroon. A 2009 randomized, placebo-controlled trial tested the seed extract IGOB131 on weight and metabolic markers. The NIH ODS reviews African mango and notes that more research is needed.
