May have anticancer properties

Mangiferin, an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory found in mango leaves, has been shown in several studies to have anticancer potential. Studies conducted in test tubes point to particular actions against leukemia and the malignancies of the breast, cervix, brain, lung, and prostate. Additionally, mango bark has considerable anticancer potential as a result of the presence of lignans, a different kind of polyphenol. The results are preliminary, therefore it's important to keep in mind that mango leaves shouldn't be used as a cancer treatment.

Historically, stomach ulcers and other digestive disorders have been treated using mango leaf and other plant components. In a mouse investigation, it was shown that giving mango leaf extract orally at a dose of between 250 and 1,000 mg per kilogram of body weight reduced the number of stomach ulcers. Similar outcomes were obtained in another rodent trial, with mangiferin dramatically reducing intestinal damage.
