Why this scored 38/100
'African Mango Fusion' is sold under a generic product-descriptor title with no extractable brand identity, positioned for 'weight management and metabolic support' around Irvingia gabonensis (African mango) seed extract. Three compounding failures. (1) misleading_naming — no brand identity in the title, so users cannot verify manufacturer or COA history. (2) The African-mango category itself sits on very weak clinical ground: the widely-cited Ngondi 2009 trial (150 mg IGOB131 twice daily, 10 weeks) reported dramatic weight-loss effects that no independent group has replicated, and the 2013 Cochrane-adjacent review (Onakpoya) concluded 'weak methodological quality and high risk of bias — clinically relevant weight-loss effect cannot be confirmed.' (3) 'Fusion' implies a blend, and without a full quantitative Supplement Facts panel the specific extract (IGOB131 or generic Irvingia) and dose cannot be verified. The safety picture for African mango is also incomplete — mild GI effects and headaches reported in trials.

Evidence & sources
The Vyvata score's Evidence dimension measures the quality of published RCT support for a product's active ingredients at the label dose. Our source hierarchy: double-blind RCTs in MEDLINE-indexed journals > single-blind RCTs > open-label trials > observational studies > mechanism papers > N=1 case studies (anecdotes). Predatory journals and manufacturer-authored studies without independent replication are weighted down.
Product-specific evidence citations for this item are embedded in the analysis text on the "Analysis" tab. For the full framework and evidence hierarchy, see the methodology page.
How to read the Evidence dimension
- 80–100: Multiple double-blind RCTs in indexed journals directly testing this product OR the exact ingredients at the exact dose.
- 60–79: Single double-blind RCT + supporting ingredient literature at the studied dose.
- 40–59: Open-label trials + ingredient literature; no product-specific double-blind evidence.
- 20–39: Ingredient literature only; no product-specific trials or trials in predatory venues.
- 0–19: No credible evidence base or unverifiable claims.
