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.

Integra-Lean contains one active ingredient: African Mango extract (Irvingia gabonensis), supplied at 150 mg per capsule as a proprietary extract. The supplement also includes inactive ingredients — rice flour, vegetable cellulose, vegetable stearate, and silica — which are common capsule fillers and binders.

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: supports weight management and metabolic wellness.
  • We looked for evidence on: Obesity, Metabolic syndrome, Hypercholesterolemia, Diabetes.
  • 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 Irvingia gabonensis isn't established enough to rate it reliably. Our data shows insufficient evidence for diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, or metabolic syndrome.

While some human studies on blood sugar exist (which informed the interaction warnings), they don't establish effectiveness as a treatment. Talk with your doctor if you're considering this for any of these 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.

Orally, Irvingia gabonensis is generally well tolerated short-term, though long-term safety isn't well studied. The most common side effects reported in trials are flatulence, headache, insomnia, and nausea.

One case of acute liver inflammation (hepatitis) has been reported in a user taking 350 mg twice daily; the person developed jaundice and abdominal discomfort within four days. Because of limited long-term safety data, it's best avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

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 Integra-Lean, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take antidiabetes drugs (like metformin, insulin, or sulfonylureas) — your blood sugar may drop more than expected and you might need a dose adjustment. Also flag if you're on testosterone therapy, as the supplement may have additive effects.

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.

Integra-Lean is an African Mango extract with two important medication interactions — it can lower blood sugar further if you take diabetes drugs, and may add to testosterone effects if you're on testosterone therapy. If you're on any of these medications, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

The evidence for its effectiveness in treating diabetes, obesity, or cholesterol isn't established yet.

Integra-Lean 150 mg by Life Extension: Common Questions

Does Integra-Lean 150 mg by Life Extension interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Integra-Lean 150 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?
Integra-Lean 150 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.
Can I take this if I'm on metformin for type 2 diabetes?
Not without checking with your doctor first. Human research shows Irvingia gabonensis lowers blood sugar on its own, so combining it with metformin or other diabetes drugs increases the risk of low blood sugar. Your doctor may need to adjust your diabetes medication dose or monitor you more closely if you use both.
What side effects have been reported?
The most common ones in studies are flatulence, headache, insomnia, and nausea. One case of liver inflammation was reported in someone taking a higher dose. Since long-term safety data is limited, you should know the risks before starting.
Is this safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The safety data advises against it during pregnancy, and there's not enough information to use it while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about safer options if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing.
Does this actually work for weight loss or blood sugar?
The evidence isn't solid enough to rate it. While some human studies show it can lower blood sugar in people already on diabetes medications, that's different from proving it works as a treatment on its own. The evidence for weight loss and cholesterol is also insufficient.
I'm on testosterone replacement. Is this safe?
Animal research suggests Irvingia gabonensis raises testosterone levels, so using both together might strengthen each other's effects. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this supplement to your testosterone therapy.
