Mango leaf: A mitochondrial bioenergetics enhancer from a tree that grows everywhere
from NutraSift: The nutraceutical innovation podcast · host Siftlink SA
Mangiferin (a xanthone in mango leaves) directly activates Complex II of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, a mechanism more commonly associated with pharmaceutical interventions than botanical ingredients. Nutriventia's Zynamite has clinical data showing improved reaction time and cognitive performance from this mechanism. The raw material is an agricultural waste product from the world's most widely grown tropical fruit.Publications of interest:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17585957/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18602406/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4885513/
