I've been taking the supplement for six weeks. I'm not sure whether it's helping me lose weight as it's supposed to. I'd like to hear from other people about their experiences taking African bush mango.

The only thing that will help you lose weight is to consume less calories than you expend. African Bush Mango is a scam, just like 99.9% of the other “supplements” marketed by the weight loss industry.17

If you take the African bush mango and stay in a calorie deficit (by eating less, moving more or a combination), you will lose weight.
If you don't take the African bush mango and do stay in a calorie deficit (by eating less, moving more or a combination) you will lose the same amount of weight, but not as much money.
I admit, I'm speculating about African bush mango specifically, but these exotic supplements in general are unproven frauds that accomplish nothing, except profit for the people selling them. For sure, you don't need them in order to lose weight.

Let me guess... Africans in the Kalahari bush are supposed to be thin because they eat it?
Nothing at all to do with having to hunt and gather their small amounts of food, I suppose. ;/13 -

One is not required to purchase or eat fast food or packaged cheap food choices. There are alternatives.10 -
yes of course there are amy - and we in the modern western world can make our own choices about such things.
The point remains that indiginous Kalahari people living traditional lifestyle did not stay lean because of any magical properties of african bush mango - they did so, like all traditional hunter/gatherer societies, because their food sources were limited and their activity level was high.

African bush mango, is much like Aya tea. It does not help you with the actual melting of fat from your body. Neither will it isolate losses of fat from your problem areas.
From what I have observed, these products marketed to African American women, capitalizes on color and starvation. If ALL you're consuming, instead of your TDEE less 500 -1000 calories(depending) daily, of course you're bound to lose. I have watched friends drink both these products and rebound to excess calories.
Conservative caloric reduction plus exercise, if you so choose is way more effective.4 -
Im going to create a new fad crap diet. The canadian frozen maple cleanse. What is it exactly? Hell if i know.. but its magic!13

If any of these things worked... we'd all be thin.5

It'd be a cool name for a band, though.8

It can have negative side effects if you are taking some cholesterol medications. Always wise to know what the supplements you take can really do to your body, not just the wild supposed "weight loss magic".2
