Product Description
Integra-Lean® African Mango Irvingia extract is the exact ingredient used in the study that made Irvingia gabonensis so famous. I. gabonensis extract has been shown to help support healthy weight loss.1-3 It’s active compounds affect hormones and enzymes involved in maintaining appetite and fat metabolism.4
Promotes healthy insulin response
Insulin is a hormone involved in carbohydrate and fat metabolism. The body’s normal, healthy response to insulin is associated with healthy fat accumulation and body weight.5 Irvingia has been found to promote a healthy insulin response.3
Helps regulate fat & satiety hormones
Adiponectin and leptin are hormones produced by fat cells. Adiponectin promotes a healthy cellular response to insulin.6 Leptin helps maintain feelings of hunger and fullness. It also encourages the breakdown of stored fat in fat cells. Clinical evidence suggests Irvingia can help maintain healthy adiponectin and leptin levels, support a healthy insulin response and promote healthy carbohydrate and fat metabolism. This supports a healthy body weight.2
Inhibits metabolic enzymes
Irvingia extract also inhibits two important metabolic enzymes: alpha-amylase and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.7,8 Alpha-amylase helps break down dietary starches into sugars so they can be absorbed (and stored as fat). Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase also helps convert sugars to fat in the body.
