What is Irvingia Gabonensis?

Irvingia Gabonensis is a specieis of tree located in West Africa.  The common names for this tree are wild mango, African mango, and bush mango.  Irvingia Gabonensis is especially valuable because it produces mango-like fruits that are highly valued for their fat and protein-rich nuts known as "dika nuts".

The natives in West Africa dry the nuts or ground them into powder to be used in cooking.  They are also believed to have many beneficial medical properties.  Scientists in the West have found that the dikka nuts help boost metabolism and weight loss.

African mango has been used for medicinal purposes for centuries, including pain relief and diarrhea, hernia, diabetes and yellow fever.

A 2005 study published in "Lipids in Health and Disease" showed that patients taking Irvingia Gabonensis daily had lower cholesterol and higher rates of weight loss. To try Irvingia Gabonensis extract, get your African mango free trial.
