African Mango (Irvingia gabonensis) comes from a fruit native to Central Africa. Manufacturers standardize many extracts for their soluble fiber content. People take it in capsule form, usually 30 to 60 minutes before a meal, to support weight management and promote satiety. This preparation provides more fiber and tends to be easier on the stomach than other forms.
Some users report digestive upset or headache. Long-term safety remains unclear. Check with a healthcare professional before starting.
