May protect against fat gain

By interfering with fat metabolism, mango leaf extract may help treat obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Mango leaf extract prevents fat from building up in tissue cells, according to several animal studies. Adiponectin levels were greater and fat accumulation was lower in cells treated with a mango leaf extract, according to different mouse research. Adiponectin is a cell-signaling protein that is important for your body's control of sugar and fat metabolism.

Higher levels may guard against obesity and chronic conditions linked to it. In research on obese rats, those who consumed mango leaf tea along with a high-fat diet accumulated less belly fat than those who simply received the high-fat diet. In 12-week research including 97 overweight people, those who received 150 mg of mangiferin daily had lower blood fat levels and considerably lower insulin resistance scores than those who received a placebo. Lower insulin resistance predicts better control of diabetes.
