Be aware of the ingredients before buying, January 21, 2012
This review is from: SBS Laboratories -60 capsule AFRICAN MANGO extract Lean Plus Advanced Weight Loss Diet Pills 1200 mg AFRICAN MANGO Pure Irvingia Gabonensis Natural (Health and Beauty)
Since the ingredients aren't listed, I'm typing them as they appear on the label. It is a "proprietary formula" of 1,200 mg total, which means no exact milligrams of any of the individual ingredients are listed. Two pills contain: African mango extract (irvingia gabonensis), maqui berry (from aristotelia chilensisa), acai fruit, green tea extract, reservatrol, caffeine anhydrous, apple cider vinegar (powder), kelp, grapefruit (powder). Without exact milligrams of each ingredient you have no idea for example exactly how much caffeine you're ingesting. I took one pill and had severe cramps...must be quite a bit of caffeine, too, as it's 4 a.m. and I'm wide awake writing this review.

Learn from my experience; do not waste your time or money!, December 16, 2011
This review is from: SBS Laboratories -60 capsule AFRICAN MANGO extract Lean Plus Advanced Weight Loss Diet Pills 1200 mg AFRICAN MANGO Pure Irvingia Gabonensis Natural (Health and Beauty)
I purchased this product based on the reviews, however, after trying this on two separate occasions, I can say with certainty that these these pills do not work. I first used these for three weeks. I thought it was my imagination that I was hungrier than usual and more constipated. After three weeks, I discontinued use. Over the next few weeks off this product, I started to slowly feel like my old self, my mood improved, my appetitie decreased, and my bowels eased. However, about two months later, I ran across more good reviews on this product and decided to give them another try. After all, my initial purchase came with two bottles. Big mistake! Within two days, I noticed my appetite increased again and I was headed toward constipation. I stopped after two days but it took my system another four days to return to normal. These pills are now where they belong...in the trash! Pros
-Price is reasonable for a diet pill
-They last in your system (which would be a pro if they worked) Cons
-Increases appetite
-Slows bowels to the point of constipation
-Affects mood
-Leaves you with an overall yucky feeling (hard to put into words) I wish I had not wasted my time, money, or energy on this product. Pat

It Works IF You Follow a Sensible Diet and Exercise Program, August 17, 2011
This review is from: SBS Laboratories -60 capsule AFRICAN MANGO extract Lean Plus Advanced Weight Loss Diet Pills 1200 mg AFRICAN MANGO Pure Irvingia Gabonensis Natural (Health and Beauty)
Definitely noticed less hunger, so not tempted to snack as usual. I would say it helps you to follow a sensible diet plan and stick with it. I lost 12 pounds using this for 1 month. I also cut out all the chips and sodas, ate healthier meals and smaller portions. I haven't started an exercise program yet though.(may as well be honest, right?)
I will probably buy some more of this, as it does help me to not want to snack a lot. I had no side effects from it and I do take a prescription for high blood pressure. This is the ONLY diet product I have ever used that did not cause a side effect because of the blood pressure issue.
My advice is if you are willing to follow a healthier eating plan, then most likely you will benefit from this product and lose weight. The fact that it does make you feel full, so you don't want to snack really helps. It takes a couple of weeks to get used to not snacking as much,(your head is telling you that you want it, even when you don't feel hungry,lol) but if you can get through that, you will win the battle.
