African mango sounds like a fruit you could buy at the market, but the part in your supplement is a seed. Here is a quick tour of Irvingia and what it does.

Meet the tree

Irvingia gabonensis grows in the rainforests of West and Central Africa. Locals eat the fruit and also grind the seed into a thick paste used in soups and stews.

Why the seed?

The seed is rich in soluble fiber and plant compounds. Interest in it grew when researchers began to study its link to leptin, the hormone that signals fullness.*

Metabolism support

African mango seed is used to support a healthy metabolic rate. In Olivaro it works beside green tea leaf extract, which adds antioxidants and a gentle thermogenic lift.*

A balanced approach
