What the evidence shows
Every line below is carried on the blend page that makes the claim. Follow it to the pathway and its sources.
Mango leaf's mangiferin quiets NF-kB, the master switch that turns on the enzymes the cell uses to build ceramide from fat — less signal, less ceramide.
Mango mangiferin — a xanthone with human and translational anti-inflammatory and metabolic data supporting the vascular milieu.
Mango bark and leaf carry a polyphenol that holds down the master switch of inflammation, so a stressed tissue settles rather than smolders.
Liver growths in mice began to regress after three weeks by mouth, and the deepest fall was LEF1.
A xanthone concentrated in mango leaf and bark: mangiferin restores muscle's attention to insulin.
