Irvingia Gabonensis 150mg 200's
It is also known as the African Mango commonly grown in Africa and South EastAsia. Fruits from these trees are often called dika nuts which contain high amountsof mucilage, traditionally used as a thickening agent. The aromatic nuts are typicallydried in the sun for preservation, and are sold whole or in powder form. Groundinto a paste they are used as a thickening agent in traditional dishes.
Studieshave shown that Irvingia Gabonensis significantly reduces body fat in obese subjectsversus placebo by activating leptin, a natural hormone in weight control. The solublefibre found in the seed is similar to other fibres and works as a bulk-forming laxativewhich also suppresses the appetite. Due to it delaying the emptying of the stomach,it leads to a more gradual absorption of dietary sugar. This reduces the elevationof blood sugar levels that is typical after a meal.
Suggested uses
- For individuals who have excess fat and that require assistance with weightloss.
- How it works and what it benefits:
- Double blind studies have shown that Irvingia Gabonensis is a natural foodextract which may assist with:
- Weight loss by improving leptin sensitivity so that less hunger is experiencedand less food consumed. Leptin is a hormone that inhibits food intake in peopleof normal body weight by reducing the hunger signals from the brain. Obese individualsoften become leptin resistant due to an over production of this hormone.
- Stabilizing blood sugar levels by delaying stomach emptying.
- Increasing adiponectin (a hormone secreted by fat cells) which promotesinsulin sensitivity as well as having an anti-inflammatory and cardiovascularbenefit. It does so by:
- Assisting in lowering total cholesterol and LDL and increasing HDL cholesterol
- Reducing C-reactive protein (C-RP) which is an indicator of the level ofinflammation in the body. This protein cross-binds with leptin, rendering itunable to cross the blood-brain barrier. The brain is unable to get the leptin-inducedappetite control signal. When C-reactive protein levels are lowered this letsthe leptin move across the blood-brain barrier to shutting off appetite signalsin the brain. This explains the apparent leptin insensitivity in obese peoplewho often have raised C-RP levels.
