Frequently Asked Questions
What is an African mango?
British explorers were the first to discover the fruit when they went on an expedition through Africa. It’s been grown for centuries in South America, but due to climate change and deforestation, its production is now declining.

How can you suppress your appetite?
Eating small meals frequently throughout the day is a better way to stop snacking when you are hungry than eating three large meals at dinner. This will stabilize your blood sugar and reduce hunger pangs.
Drinking lots of water, or taking an herbal supplement like bitter melon and ginseng may be better than eating only.
Avoid foods high in carbs like bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, as they can give you a short boost that then leads to a crash.
