The United States first took a large interest in African Mango, in October, 2010. African Mango is also known as Irvingia Gabonensis. It has been two years since that time, and the African Mango diet is still going strong among those wanting to lose weight.

The truth of the matter is that African Mango is no secret to the people of Cameroon, Africa. The fruit can be found growing in the Cameroon rainforest and has been used by Africans to ward off hunger for centuries. It was eaten primarily to subside hunger during long hunting trips.

The magic of the African Mango comes from its seeds, called dika nuts, (also known as ogbono nuts.) The nuts are high in healthy fat proteins. The potent extract in the seed that is what is used for African Mango supplements.

Researchers studied African Mango for many years prior to the hype of 2010. In these studies, they found that the supplement helped people burn fat and lose weight much faster than with regular diet and exercise. This happens because the supplement aids in speeding up the body’s metabolism.
