Fat cells (adipocytes) secrete a hormone called leptin that tells our brain we have eaten enough. Leptin can also facilitate the breakdown of stored triglycerides in our adipocytes via the process of lipolysis. Heavy individuals have startlingly high blood levels of leptin, indicating that their cells have become resistant to the leptin that is supposed to prevent them from putting on so many fat pounds.
An extract from a West African food called Irvingia gabonensis has been shown to help support leptin sensitivity in overweight people. In a recently published study, Irvingia demonstrated beneficial effects upon leptin blood levels, followed by weight loss and inches off the waistline. In addition to supporting healthy leptin sensitivity, Irvingia has demonstrated the following beneficial effects on key aspects of metabolism:
Based on impressive human clinical data that supports weight loss of over 20 pounds on average in 10 weeks, this standalone formula of an African mango extract, Integra-Lean® Irvingia, is also available to help promote optimal weight.
LifeExtension Integra-Lean should be taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise program. Results may vary.

This supplement takes 30 days before you will see any results, you should stay on the diet supplement for the full ten weeks before determining if it is working for you or not. It is also recommended that if you are on a low carb diet, that this supplement is not a good choice because since it works by altering carbohydrate metabolism. A normal carbohydrate diet and low in saturated fat seems to get the best results.

LifeExtension Integra Lean Irvingia is designed to target several critical factors involved in age-related weight gain. Those who ingest more calories than what their body has the metabolic capacity to utilize will not see results. This is because some people are ingesting so many excess calories that no matter how much their metabolic rate is increased, or how much improvement occurs in their post-meal blood sugar and serum triglyceride levels, or by how much youthful insulin sensitivity and other body fat-regulating systems are restored, they are overwhelming the metabolic capacity to utilize these calories. This will result in excess calories being stored in adipocytes. One cannot consume limitless calories and expect to shed fat pounds by taking drugs, nutrients, and/or hormones that demonstrate weight-loss effects in clinical studies.
