HelloPharmacist Scorecard of African Mango by Oomph Naturals
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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: African Mango Seed Extract (from Irvingia gabonensis). The capsule itself is made from gelatin and rice powder, which are inactive ingredients that help deliver the extract.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence we have on African Mango Seed Extract doesn't yet support a reliable rating for weight loss, cholesterol, blood sugar, or metabolic syndrome. The research so far is insufficient to say whether it actually works for these purposes.
If you're considering it for any of these reasons, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what the current evidence shows and what might work better for your situation.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
African Mango Seed Extract is generally well tolerated in short-term studies, but long-term safety and product quality haven't been established. The most common side effects are flatulence, headache, insomnia, and nausea.
There's one reported case of acute liver inflammation (hepatitis) linked to this supplement, though it's rare. This product is not recommended during pregnancy because there isn't enough safety data.
It should also be avoided while breastfeeding for the same reason. If you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take antidiabetes drugs — the extract may lower blood sugar too much. Also flag any testosterone products you're using, since combining them with this extract could cause added 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 by Oomph Naturals may be worth considering if you're interested in weight or metabolic support, but the evidence for how well it works isn't yet established. The main thing to watch for is interactions with diabetes or testosterone medications — if you take either, check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
It's not safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Run your medications through the checker below before you start.
