Raspberry Ketones and African Mango Seed Extract: What the Evidence Shows
Raspberry ketones and African mango seed extract (Irvingia) are two names in the Glyco Reset 200 mg blend. Sloan Kettering says mango extract may support weight loss but needs better studies, and a 2022 review found raspberry ketone evidence mostly from animal and cell work. The label prints no amount for either.

The two names01
What are raspberry ketones and African mango seed extract?
Raspberry ketones and African mango seed extract are two ingredients that are often sold for weight goals. The Glyco Reset label lists both inside its 200 mg proprietary blend and makes no weight claim for either.
African mango seed extract, also written Irvingia gabonensis, comes from the seed of a West African tree. Raspberry ketone is a compound named for the fruit and now often made in a lab. On the label they appear as African Mango Seed Extract, second in the list, and Raspberry Ketones, thirteenth.
The label prints no amount for either. Each is a share of a 200 mg total that 21 names divide, so each is below 200 mg (21 CFR 101.36 (eCFR), Supplement Facts and proprietary blends). The brand's wording is about glucose, and this site does not repeat or test it. We cover only what the two names are and what the sources report.
African mango02
What does the evidence say about African mango seed extract and Irvingia?
Sloan Kettering says African mango seed extract may support weight loss, but high-quality studies are needed (MSK, Irvingia gabonensis / African mango (About Herbs)). Most of the studies it describes are small and of poor quality.
The same page reports one trial in which weight and blood glucose were better, and notes that the data are limited. It also lists gas, headache and sleep problems as side effects, and one case report of kidney failure.
The page says people taking antidiabetic medicines should not take African mango. The concern comes from rat studies that showed an added glucose-lowering effect, and the page says relevance to people has not been determined.
That caution matters for a reader on diabetes medicine, because it comes from the very same group the brand talks to. It does not say the Glyco Reset blend does this. The amount of mango in the bottle is unknown. It is a reason to show the label to a pharmacist first and to keep taking prescribed medicine.
Raspberry ketone03
What is the evidence for raspberry ketone supplements?
A 2022 review calls the weight effect of raspberry ketone “controversial” and says the mechanism is largely unknown (Li 2022, Raspberry ketone metabolic activities (review)). The benefits it describes come from animal and cell studies.
The review is abstract-level in our reading. It does not report a human dose, and the phrase about balancing serum glucose describes proposed lab mechanisms, not a result in people. We did not find a Sloan Kettering or NCCIH page for raspberry ketone to add to it.
The FTC says animal and in vitro studies alone are not sufficient to back a health claim for people (FTC, Health Products Compliance Guidance). A supplement ad that leans on such work is leaning on the weakest tier of evidence.
| Item | Glyco Reset label | What we read |
|---|---|---|
| African Mango Seed Extract | Amount not shown | May support weight loss, better studies needed; antidiabetic medicine caution (MSK, Irvingia gabonensis / African mango (About Herbs)) |
| Raspberry Ketones | Amount not shown | Effect called controversial; evidence mostly animal and cell (Li 2022, Raspberry ketone metabolic activities (review)) |
| Weight claim on the label | None printed | Not applicable |
| Product trial | None known | We found no study of Glyco Reset |
Claims vs evidence04
How do ads for these extracts compare with the evidence?
Ads for these two extracts often promise quick results. The sources we read call the evidence limited, weak or early, and none tests Glyco Reset.
The label shown to us makes no weight claim. Anyone who adds one is stepping beyond the label.
The FDA lists testimonials, quick fixes and “all natural” appeals among the signs of a rip-off (FDA, 6 Tip-offs to Rip-offs (health fraud)). Fake or paid reviews are banned by an FTC rule (FTC, Final rule banning fake reviews (press release)). Look for both when a page sells these names.
On the bottle05
Where do raspberry ketones and mango sit in the Glyco Reset blend?
African mango seed is second in the printed order and raspberry ketones thirteenth. The order runs from the heaviest ingredient to the lightest, so mango weighs more than raspberry ketones.
How much more, the label does not say. A blend can list a heavier first name that is only a hair above the next. Rank is a clue, not a measure.
- Mango sits near the front, behind maca only.
- Raspberry ketones sit in the back half, ahead of the amino acids.
- Neither has a printed amount or a printed function.
- Both live inside one 200 mg total shared with 19 other names.
Safety06
Who should ask a pharmacist before using extracts like these?
Anyone on diabetes medicine, kidney disease or a prescription for any condition should ask a pharmacist before the first dropper. The mango caution is the clearest one in our set.
Keep taking prescribed medicine. MedlinePlus says to continue metformin even if you feel well, and to tell your doctor and pharmacist about every supplement and herbal product (MedlinePlus, Metformin). Only blood tests diagnose diabetes or prediabetes (NIDDK, Diabetes Tests & Diagnosis). Severe low blood sugar, fainting or a seizure is an emergency: call 911 (Mayo Clinic, Hypoglycemia).
Low blood sugar is a reading of 70 mg/dL or lower. Shakiness, sweating, a fast heartbeat and confusion are common signs (Mayo Clinic, Hypoglycemia).
Next steps07
What should you read next before buying?
Read how the blend hides its split, then the plant pages, then the price. Each page states what the label shows and what we could not find.
The proprietary blend page explains the 200 mg total and has a small meter. The other plant extracts page covers coleus, ginseng, maca and the rest. Prices and the guarantee are on the pricing page; confirm the price, shipping and terms at checkout.

Raspberry ketone and African mango questions
What is African mango seed extract?
African mango seed extract, also called Irvingia, comes from the seed of a West African tree. It appears second in the Glyco Reset blend with no amount printed. Sloan Kettering says it may support weight loss but that high-quality studies are needed.
Is Irvingia safe with diabetes medicine?
Sloan Kettering says people taking antidiabetic medicines should not take African mango, based on rat studies of added glucose lowering. Relevance to people has not been determined. Keep taking prescribed medicine and ask a pharmacist before using any blend that lists Irvingia.
Do raspberry ketones work?
The evidence is weak. A 2022 review calls the weight effect controversial and credits benefits mostly to animal and cell studies. We found no study of the Glyco Reset drops, and the label prints no raspberry ketone amount to compare.
How much raspberry ketone is in Glyco Reset?
The amount is not printed. Raspberry Ketones is the thirteenth of 21 names in a 200 mg proprietary blend. It is below 200 mg, and by the label's order it is likely lighter than the names before it.
Does Glyco Reset make weight loss claims?
No weight claim appears on the label shown to us. The front reads Health Supplement and the brand's wording is about glucose. This site does not make weight claims for the drops or for either extract.
Why do blood sugar supplements include ingredients sold for weight?
The label does not explain its choices, and we will not guess. Many blends mix names used in several kinds of products. Judge each name on its own source and ask the seller for the amounts.
Are there studies of African mango and blood glucose?
Sloan Kettering mentions one trial that reported better weight and blood glucose, with limited data. The studies it describes are mostly small and poor in quality. None used the Glyco Reset drops, so no result transfers to the bottle.
Who should avoid African mango or raspberry ketone supplements?
Ask first if you take diabetes medicine, have kidney problems, are pregnant or nursing, or take any prescription. Sloan Kettering lists gas, headache and sleep problems for mango. Show a pharmacist the full label.
