Zynamite Mango Leaf Extract
Also known as: Zynamite, Zynamite Mango Leaf Extract, Mangifera indica leaf extract, Mangifera indica leaf extract (Zynamite®)
Overview
Zynamite® is a polyphenol-rich extract derived from the leaves of the mango plant (Mangifera indica L.). This extract contains a high concentration of the xanthone polyphenol mangiferin, used in traditional medicine for various health benefits. Recognized primarily as an ergogenic aid, Zynamite® is intended to enhance both exercise performance and cognitive functions. Existing research includes numerous randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that report significant improvements in physical performance and cognitive abilities. Future systematic reviews are anticipated to further clarify its diverse benefits, potentially extending the scope of applications for this plant-derived compound.
Benefits
1. **Exercise Performance**: A single dose of 140 mg Zynamite® combined with quercetin resulted in a 2.8% to 3.8% improvement in peak power output during exercise. Evidence: Moderately strong. 2. **Cognitive Function**: A dosage of 300 mg showed enhancements in task accuracy, particularly in attention and episodic memory among healthy adults. Evidence: Moderately strong. 3. **Muscle Damage and Recovery**: Zynamite® may help alleviate muscle pain and improve recovery post-exercise. Evidence: Emerging. 4. **Mitochondrial Function**: The extract is linked to improved mitochondrial bioenergetics, supporting oxygen utilization during exertion. Evidence: Emerging. These benefits are particularly relevant for physically active individuals and healthy adults.
How it works
Mangiferin, the active compound in Zynamite®, boosts mitochondrial bioenergetics and promotes vasodilation, enhancing oxygen extraction during physical activity. This compound also exhibits antioxidant properties, reducing reactive oxygen species which contribute to oxidative stress. By positively affecting muscular, cardiovascular, and nervous systems, Zynamite® supports both exercise performance and cognitive enhancements.
Side effects
Zynamite® is generally well tolerated, with no adverse effects reported in human studies even at high dosages. Animal studies have shown safety at doses up to 2000 mg/kg body weight per day. While common side effects (>5%) remain unreported, less common (<5%) and rare (<1%) effects have not been documented. No significant drug interactions are noted, though caution is advised when combined with other polyphenol-rich substances. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult healthcare professionals due to insufficient safety studies. Individuals with pre-existing health conditions are also recommended to seek medical advice prior to usage.
Dosage
For enhancement of performance, a minimum dose of 140 mg Zynamite® combined with 140 mg of quercetin is advised. For cognitive benefits, a dosage of 300 mg standardized to ≥60% mangiferin is recommended. No upper safety limits have been established for human use, but animal studies suggest tolerability at doses up to 2000 mg/kg bw/day. Timing is crucial: it is beneficial to take Zynamite® one hour before workouts for exercise performance enhancement. The extract is mainly available in capsule form, and its bioavailability can be optimized when taken with quercetin.
FAQs
Is Zynamite® safe to use?
Yes, Zynamite® is generally considered safe based on existing toxicological studies, but individuals should monitor for personal tolerance and possible interactions.
When should I take Zynamite® for best results?
For exercise benefits, take Zynamite® one hour before workout sessions. For cognitive enhancement, it can be taken as per individual schedule but ideally during cognitive tasks.
What results can I expect from Zynamite®?
Users can expect improved exercise performance, better cognitive function, and potentially quicker recovery from intense physical activity.
