“Magical” African Tree That Can Help You Burn Fat Fast
You might recognize Irvinga gabonensis as a huge source of chatter that stoked up the weight loss community.Like hoodia and acai berry, this may turn out to be another hoax. 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. During the study, they were measured for weight and size, blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose.
Food and activity journals were also kept.{ 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 same group also had increased HDL cholesterol, reduced systolic blood pressure and lower levels of triglycerides and LDL cholesterol. The reasons for the weight loss are not clear: perhaps that group ate less and the results were not related to any effect from the supplement. Can you get the same results with losing weight fast instead of being slow and consistent? I think not.
Later, the same researchers compared a group taking Cissus quadrangularis by itself, a group taking an Irvingia-Cissus blend, and a placebo group in another study.
This time, the Invingia group tested better again across 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.
Results like these should raise questions in your mind before running out to purchase Irvingia at the health food store. A controlled study would keep its subjects in a place like a hospital where all food and activity can be monitored. The studies I mentioned were not controlled, meaning that there’s no way to verify the self-reported food intakes and there’s no way to tell what else was going on with the people involved.
To make things worse, the same person who has done the research also owns the rights to the product! The results of 28 pounds lost in 10 weeks without changes in exercise or eating would mean that the supplement increased metabolism by 1400 calories per day. 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.
