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 product contains one active ingredient: African Mango Seed Extract (from Irvingia gabonensis). The capsules also hold gelatin and rice powder as inactive ingredients.

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, Metabolic syndrome, Hypercholesterolemia, Diabetes, appetite control, energy metabolism.
  • 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 isn't established in our data. We have insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, or metabolic syndrome.

If you're considering this supplement for one of those conditions, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether the research supports it for your situation.

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.

African Mango Seed Extract 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 case of liver inflammation (hepatitis) has been reported after ten days of use; while rare, it's worth noting. The safety data advises against using this supplement during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, so if you're pregnant or nursing, skip this one and talk with your doctor about alternatives.

  • 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, double-check your medications against these two categories: antidiabetes drugs (risk of low blood sugar) and testosterone products (possible additive effects). Use the medication search tool on this page to verify your exact prescriptions.

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 may be worth considering if you're interested in weight management or metabolic health, but the evidence is thin. The main caution is if you take diabetes medication or testosterone — both can interact with this extract and need monitoring.

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

African Mango by Oomph Naturals: Common Questions

Does African Mango by Oomph Naturals 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 Seed Extract do?
The extract comes from the Irvingia gabonensis seed. It's been studied for blood sugar control, cholesterol, weight, and metabolic health, but the evidence we have isn't strong enough to confirm how well it works for any of these. That's why we rate the evidence as insufficient.
Are there side effects?
Most people tolerate it well. The most common side effects are flatulence, headache, insomnia, and nausea. One case of liver inflammation has been reported, though that's very rare. Long-term safety hasn't been well studied.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — there isn't enough safety data during pregnancy or breastfeeding, so it's best to avoid it. Talk with your doctor about what's safe for you during this time.
I take diabetes medication — is this product okay for me?
Not without checking with us first. The extract can lower blood sugar on its own, and combining it with diabetes medication raises the risk of low blood sugar. If you're interested, your doctor may need to monitor your glucose levels closely and adjust your medication dose.
I use testosterone therapy. Can I still take this?
You should talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting. Research in animals suggests the extract may boost testosterone levels, so using it alongside testosterone therapy could cause too much of an effect. We want to make sure it's safe for your situation.
