Mango Seeds and Slimming Benefits
Posted: Wednesday, 3 August, 2011 | Categories: slimming pills, weight loss, qnexa
One of the most popular products for slimming down at the moment is the African mango and there is proof of its success following two studies carried out in Cameroon. The seeds were extracted and the effects on weight loss and blood fat levels were assessed over a period of 4 weeks and compared to a placebo group.The results proved that the group lost on average 5.3% of their original body weight versus the placebo group who only lost 1.3%. Substantial decreases in blood cholesterol were observed in addition.
The seeds contain soluble fibre and delay the digestion process resulting in a slower passing of glucose into the blood stream. The ingredients of this herbal treatment however are contained in many herbal weight loss treatments that have not been tested by regulators. The product is therefore not recommended for consumption as of yet. Still Xenical is the only weight loss drug licensed for use in the EU.
We await news of the hopeful qnexa, Vivus’ promising weight loss treatment.
