HelloPharmacist Scorecard of African Mango 600 mg by BIOVEA

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

African Mango 600 mg contains one active ingredient: Irvingia gabonensis extract at 600 mg per capsule. The capsule also holds inactive ingredients—rice flour, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (a binder), silicon dioxide, and vegetable magnesium stearate—that help form and stabilize the product.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Irvingia Gabonensis's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: weight loss and metabolic support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Obesity, Diabetes, Hypercholesterolemia, Metabolic syndrome, appetite control, cholesterol management.
  • The closest evidence on file: Irvingia Gabonensis is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Diabetes (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Irvingia Gabonensis is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Hypercholesterolemia, Obesity, Metabolic syndrome.

The evidence for what this supplement actually does isn't established in the data we hold. Effectiveness has been rated insufficient reliable evidence for diabetes, high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia), obesity, and metabolic syndrome.

That means studies so far haven't shown enough to say whether it works for those conditions.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Irvingia Gabonensis

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Irvingia gabonensis is generally well tolerated in short-term studies, though long-term safety and product quality aren't well established. The most common side effects reported are flatulence, headache, insomnia, and nausea.

One rare case of liver inflammation (hepatitis) was reported in someone taking 350 mg twice daily; the connection isn't proven, but it's on record. During pregnancy, there isn't enough safety data, so it's best avoided.

The same applies to breastfeeding—no reliable safety information exists. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding and wondering whether this product is right for you.

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?

  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 94 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking African Mango 600 mg, double-check with your pharmacist if you take antidiabetes drugs or testosterone products (both Moderate-severity interactions). No other medication interactions are documented for this ingredient.

African Mango 600 mg by BIOVEA: Common Questions

Does African Mango 600 mg by BIOVEA interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, African Mango 600 mg has a known interaction with 94 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
African Mango 600 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What is African Mango extract supposed to do?
Irvingia gabonensis has been studied for diabetes, cholesterol, weight management, and metabolic syndrome, but the current evidence isn't strong enough to say it works for any of those. The data we hold rates all of them as insufficient reliable evidence.
Is this safe to take long-term?
Short-term use appears generally well tolerated, but long-term safety isn't well established. We don't have enough data on what happens if you take it for months or years.
What side effects should I watch for?
The most common ones reported are flatulence, headache, insomnia, and nausea. One very rare case of liver inflammation has been reported; the link isn't proven, but if you develop yellowing of the skin, dark urine, or severe abdominal pain, stop and contact your doctor.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against it during pregnancy. For breastfeeding, there's no reliable safety information either. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance if you're in either situation.
Why do I need to check this with my diabetes or testosterone medications?
Irvingia gabonensis lowers blood sugar on its own, so combined with diabetes drugs it raises the risk of low blood sugar. It may also boost testosterone, so pairing it with testosterone products could have unpredictable effects. Your doctor or pharmacist can help adjust doses if needed.
