HelloPharmacist Scorecard of African Mango by NusaPure

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.

This capsule contains one active ingredient: African Mango Seed Extract Concentrate (from Irvingia gabonensis). The capsule itself also includes inactive ingredients — cellulose, silica, magnesium stearate, and rice flour — which help hold and deliver the extract.

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 metabolism support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Obesity, Diabetes, Hypercholesterolemia, Metabolic syndrome, appetite control, body weight 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 African Mango Seed Extract is not established in our data. We hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for diabetes, high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia), obesity, or metabolic syndrome.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means the research we have access to isn't strong enough yet to make a claim either way. If you're considering this for one of those conditions, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about what the latest research shows.

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.

Short-term use of this extract is generally well tolerated in studies, though long-term safety and product quality haven't been thoroughly established. The most common side effects reported are flatulence, headache, insomnia, and nausea.

One rare case of acute liver inflammation (hepatitis) has been reported in a person taking 350 mg of the extract twice daily; symptoms started four days after beginning the supplement. Because there isn't enough safety data during pregnancy or breastfeeding, it's best avoided in both situations.

If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor before taking this product.

Meds to double-check

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?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Irvingia Gabonensis.
  • 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 this product, check with your pharmacist if you're on any antidiabetes medications (including insulin) — the extract can lower blood sugar and increase the risk of hypoglycemia, and your dose may need adjusting. Also check if you're using any testosterone products, as the extract may have additive effects.

Use the medication search tool on this page to verify your specific drugs.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

African Mango extract may be worth considering if you're interested in weight management or metabolic support — but the evidence for it isn't established in our data yet. If you take diabetes medication or testosterone therapy, you need to check this with your pharmacist first, as it can interact with both.

Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before starting, especially if you're on any prescription medications.

African Mango by NusaPure: Common Questions

Does African Mango by NusaPure interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, African Mango 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 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 does African Mango extract actually do?
African Mango Seed Extract is used for weight management and metabolic support, but we don't have strong enough evidence in our data to confirm how well it works for diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, or metabolic syndrome. The research just isn't solid enough yet to rate it reliably.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — there isn't enough safety data during pregnancy, so it's best avoided. The same goes for breastfeeding. If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing, talk with your doctor before using this product.
What side effects might I notice?
The most common ones reported are flatulence, headache, insomnia, and nausea. These are mild and temporary in most cases. One rare case of serious liver inflammation has been reported, though it's uncommon. Stop taking the product and contact your doctor if you develop yellowing of the skin or eyes, belly pain, or unusual tiredness.
Is it safe to take long-term?
Short-term use is generally well tolerated in studies, but we don't have solid data on long-term safety or product quality consistency. If you're thinking of taking it for more than a few weeks, check with your pharmacist first.
Why do I need to check my blood sugar if I'm diabetic?
Human research shows this extract lowers blood sugar. If you're already on diabetes medication, combining them could drop your blood sugar too low (hypoglycemia). Your doctor may need to adjust your medication dose, and you'll need to monitor your levels closely.
