The availability of Irvinga gabonensis supplements really got the weight loss market stirred up. This may turn out to be another scam like hoodia and acai berry. Those who are looking for some ways on how to lose weight should beware.
The West African bush mango tree produces Irvinga, a high fat, high fiber nut.Is there anything incredible about the benefits of Irvingia?
To find out, 40 obese people were put into two groups and tested with Irvingia gabonensis and a placebo to find out.For a month, these subjects took three 1.05 gram doses of Invingia every day.While participating measurements of their weight, size, blood pressure, and cholesterol were kept.
They also kept food and activity journals. The study showed that the Irvingia group lost an average weight of 11.5 pounds while the placebo group lost almost 3 pounds. On average, almost 3 pounds were lost by the placebo group, but the Irvingia group lost an average of 11.5 pounds.
The Irvingia group also had lower blood pressure while LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and total cholesterol went down while HDL cholesterol went up.The supplement may not have had anything to do with the weight loss: it could be that the experimental group just ate less. Can you get the same results with losing weight fast instead of being slow and consistent? I think not.
In another study by the same group, they combined Cissus quadrangularis with the Irvingia and made three test groups: one with the Irvingia/Cissus blend, one with Cissus only, and another with placebo.
The group taking Invingia again showed the best results in the same measurements.Another 10 week study showed people taking Irvingia lost just over 28 pounds in 10 weeks, with numerous positive chemical results as well. One who understands research might be skeptical of these results, but the average person probably would think the results are wonderful.
Before going to the health food store to buy Irvingia products, you probably should try to find better research.A place like a hospital where activity and food can be monitored is where a controlled study would be performed.The subjects in these studies I mentioned may not have been reliable in recording their food intake and we don’t know what else was going on either.
To make things worse, the same person who has done the research also owns the rights to the product!An increase in metabolism of 1400 calories per day would be required to lose 28 pounds in then weeks without changes in eating or exercise. Don’t you remember the last miracle pill, Hoodia?In summary, Irvingia might be good for fiber, but with so many alternative sources being more cost effective, it hardly seems worth the high price tag.
