African Mango: What It Is and How to Use It

African mango (Irvingia gabonensis) is a tree native to West and Central Africa. Supplements use an extract of its seed, sometimes called “bush mango” or “dika nut,” which is rich in soluble fiber.

Why people use African mango

African mango seed extract is popular in daily wellness routines because of its fiber content, which can help you feel full. Research is still limited, and it works best alongside a balanced diet and regular activity, not instead of them.*

Before you try it

  • Follow the label serving size and take it with water.
  • Some people notice mild digestive effects such as gas or headache when they start.
  • Talk to your doctor first if you are pregnant or nursing, have diabetes, or take medication. Fiber can affect how some medications are absorbed.
