African Mango: Why a Weight Ingredient Is in a Hearing Formula
African mango (Irvingia gabonensis) is a seed extract sold mainly for weight loss and blood fat. It is line 4 of 22 in the ZenCortex blend. No study we found links it to hearing, so its place under a hearing heading is a fit question, not proof.

What is African mango?
African mango is the seed extract of Irvingia gabonensis, a tree from West and Central Africa. Supplements sell it for weight loss and for lowering cholesterol and blood sugar.
Memorial Sloan Kettering says the extract may support weight loss, but most studies are small and poor in quality (MSK, African Mango). The small trials came from one author group and suggest a modest drop in weight and waist size (NCCIH, Supplements for Weight Loss, Bodybuilding, Sexual Enhancement).
Neither source lists hearing or tinnitus as a studied use. Our African mango profile follows the same sources.
Where is African mango on the ZenCortex label?
African mango is the fourth line of the 22-line Proprietary Herbal Blend, after maca, grape seed extract and guarana. The blend is 200 mg per 1 mL serving.
Lines run from most to least by weight (eCFR, 21 CFR 101.36 Supplement Facts). Three heavier lines come first, so African mango can weigh at most 200 divided by 4, or 50 mg. That is a ceiling. The real amount is not printed and could be far lower.

Does a weight ingredient belong in a hearing formula?
The label does not explain it. The bottle says "Supports Healthy Hearing†", yet several blend lines are better known for weight or energy.
A story linking them to hearing is not a trial. The FTC says evidence must match the product, dose and outcome claimed (FTC, Health Products Compliance Guidance). The bar below splits the 200 mg blend evenly across all 22 lines, an illustration only, since the label prints no split.
African mango is the fourth segment, between guarana and eleuthero.

See packsIs African mango safe with medicines?
African mango is not risk free. Reported effects include gas, headache and sleep trouble, and it may interfere with absorption of other medicines (MSK, African Mango).
Rat studies suggest it may add to diabetes drugs in lowering blood sugar. One case report describes dialysis after months on an African mango herbal medicine. One report cannot prove cause, but it is a reason to ask first.
Keep taking your prescribed medicine as directed, and tell your pharmacist about every supplement.
How do you judge an ingredient on a hearing label?
Ask whether it was studied for hearing, in people, at a dose the label prints. For African mango the answers are no, no and no.
The same test appears in our guide to hearing supplement ads. If you still want to try ZenCortex, the seller states a 60-day guarantee, and you pay return shipping.

FAQ01
ZenCortex questions people ask
Is African mango the same as the mango you eat?
No. African mango is Irvingia gabonensis, a different tree. The supplement uses the seed extract, while the fruit in stores is Mangifera indica. Their research does not carry over.
How much African mango is in ZenCortex?
The label does not say. African mango is line 4 of 22, so by the label-order rule it is at most 50 mg of the 200 mg blend per serving. The true amount could be much smaller.
Has African mango been tested for tinnitus?
We found no study that did. The cited sources list weight, cholesterol and blood sugar, and the NIDCD says no supplement has been proven effective for tinnitus (NIDCD, Tinnitus).
