Irvingia Gabonensis is an indigenous African tree found in Cameroon, Africa. It is also known as the bush mango or wild mango tree. Though the African Mango has recently been shown in studies to aid in weight loss, it has been used for more than two thousand years in Africa. African’s have eaten the fruity mango and tasty nuts, also known as Ogbono or Dika nuts, for years to aid in fighting off hunger and many other domestic and homeopathic uses.

The fruit is harvested between the months of July and September. For western Africans, this tree and its fruits serve many purposes. Natives of the land use the bark to treat diarrhea, hernias, yellow fever and even toothaches. They also believe the bark to have healing and antibiotic properties and thus ingest it or use it to treat burns and other skin irritations.

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.

Dr. Mehmet Oz is famous for his health advice. In a recent show, he discussed the weight loss benefits of Raspberry Ketones. Raspberry Ketone is simply a natural compound found in red raspberries. Its clinical term is Rubus ideaus. It is 100% natural and extremely safe.

You may be wondering why you need to buy this in supplement form and why you cannot just eat raspberries. Raspberry Ketones, in supplement form, are extremely concentrated. It would take over 90lbs of raspberries to equal the recommended daily dose of Raspberry Ketone. Not to mention, when in pure fruit form, that many raspberries would contain a lot of natural sugar.
 

Raspberry Ketones work as a fat burner in the body by tricking the protein hormone, adiponectin, into thinking you are thin. Raspberry Ketone lowers your adiponectin levels, and you burn more fat. Not only does it help people lose weight, it also helps with other health issues like diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and metabolic syndrome. Raspberry Ketone also helps to detoxify the body and give you more energy. People taking the supplement have also reported healthier hair, nails, and skin.
 

Beautiful, aromatic, and juicy red raspberries have existed for centuries. It is reported that raspberries go back as far as the People of Troy. Historians tell us they were the first to appreciate this luscious fruit.

By the Middles Ages, raspberries were well known and used in many foods as well as for painting and medicinal purposes. It was only the rich, like King Edward the First of England, who could afford such a luxury. It was King Edward who received credit for cultivating the red raspberry, thus spreading its availability to the “common folk.”

It was not until centuries later during the American Conquest, that Europeans discovered that Native American Indians had been using raspberries for a long time. Native Americans would dry them in order to make them last longer and then eat the dried berries on their extended travels. By this time, red raspberries were exceedingly common to most Europeans. Famous European scientists were even beginning to publish books on the useful purposes of the red raspberry.

In 2008, a little known weight loss plan called the HCG Diet started making headlines. HCG stands for human chorionic gonadotropin. It is a hormone consisting of 244 amino acids and it has been found to be produced naturally in women during pregnancy.

The HCG hormone in ingestible form can be taken orally or administered as an injection. The hormone instructs the hypothalamus to release nutrient-rich stored fat into the bloodstream, to be used by the body for energy then eliminated. In turn, the metabolism increases and the body burns more fat at a faster pace.

Studies show that men and women are able to lose up to a pound per day on the HCG Diet. Since 2008, there have been an overwhelming number of success stories from average people who have turned to the HCG diet, many as a last resort. Many have been incredibly successful with their weight loss.
