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 supplement contains one active ingredient: Integra-Lean African Mango, a proprietary extract of Irvingia gabonensis at 150 mg per capsule. The capsule also holds inactive ingredients—microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable cellulose, vegetable stearate, and silica—which are binders and fillers that hold the supplement together.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 assessable

This is a single-ingredient Irvingia Gabonensis product and its label doesn't state a use — see Irvingia Gabonensis's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for Irvingia gabonensis is not yet well established. We hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, or metabolic syndrome.

While some human research on blood sugar control exists (which is why drug interactions are documented), we don't have enough robust data to say whether it actually works for these conditions in real-world use.

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. The most common side effects are flatulence, headache, insomnia, and nausea.

One rare case of acute liver inflammation (hepatitis) has been reported after ten days of use at higher doses; it's unusual, but it signals that long-term safety isn't fully understood. The facts note that long-term safety data and product quality are not well established.

During pregnancy, there isn't enough safety data, so it's best avoided. While breastfeeding, no reliable safety information is available.

If you're pregnant or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product.

  • 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 doctor or pharmacist if you take antidiabetes drugs (insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas, and others) or testosterone products. Both can interact at a Moderate level of concern.

Blood glucose monitoring and possible medication adjustments may be needed.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Integra-Lean African Mango may be worth considering if you're interested in weight loss or metabolic support, but the evidence for how well it works isn't solid yet. If you take antidiabetes drugs or testosterone products, you'll need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting—blood sugar monitoring and dose changes may be necessary.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? Not enough safety data exists, so discuss it with your healthcare provider.

Integra-Lean African Mango Irvingia 150 mg by Life Extension: Common Questions

Does Integra-Lean African Mango Irvingia 150 mg by Life Extension interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Integra-Lean African Mango Irvingia 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 African Mango Irvingia 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.
What is Irvingia gabonensis and what's it supposed to do?
Irvingia gabonensis is an extract from an African mango plant. It's marketed for weight loss, cholesterol, blood sugar, and metabolic health—but the evidence we have is insufficient to say whether it actually works for any of these.
Can I take this if I'm on diabetes medication?
Not without talking to your doctor first. Irvingia gabonensis can lower blood sugar, and combining it with antidiabetes drugs increases the risk of low blood sugar. Your doctor may need to monitor you closely or adjust your medication dose.
What side effects should I watch for?
The most common are flatulence, headache, insomnia, and nausea. One rare case of liver inflammation has been reported, though it's very uncommon. If you develop jaundice, abdominal pain, or unusual tiredness, stop and contact your doctor.
Is it safe to take if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. There isn't enough safety data during pregnancy, so it's best avoided. While breastfeeding, no reliable information exists either. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're considering it during these times.
Can I take this with testosterone therapy?
Not without checking with your doctor. Animal research suggests Irvingia gabonensis may raise testosterone levels, which could add to the effect of your medication. Your doctor can advise whether it's safe for you.
How long can I safely take this?
Short-term use has been studied and is generally tolerated, but long-term safety isn't well established. The product quality also isn't fully standardized. Discuss how long you plan to use it with your pharmacist or doctor.
