What African Mango Seed is
African Mango Seed Extract comes from Irvingia gabonensis, a West African tree sometimes called bush mango or dika nut. The extract is made from the seed, which is traditionally eaten and used in cooking in parts of West Africa.
In supplements it has been studied for effects on weight, waist size and blood lipids. The SodaBurn site names it without an amount, and ties it most closely to appetite control.

What the research looks like
Several small trials, many from the same research group, reported reductions in weight and waist circumference with Irvingia extracts. The trials were short and small, and reviewers have rated the certainty of the evidence as low. Independent replication is limited.
That makes African mango a plausible supporting ingredient with promising but unproven results, not a proven fat burner.
Safety and who should be careful
Mild effects such as headache, gas or trouble sleeping have been reported in small studies. Long-term safety data in people are limited. If you take medication, are pregnant or nursing, or have a medical condition, ask a clinician before using it.
How it fits the rest of the formula
African Mango Seed is one of six named ingredients. See them all on the ingredient overview, the evidence summary in the beginner guide to ingredients and ingredients and benefits explained. For directions, read the dosage and usage guide.
