Mangifera indica L. Leaf Extract in Combination With Luteolin or Quercetin Enhances VO2peak and Peak Power Output, and Preserves Skeletal Muscle Function During Ischemia-Reperfusion in Humans
Open accessAbstract
It remains unknown whether polyphenols such as luteolin (Lut), mangiferin and quercetin (Q) have ergogenic effects during repeated all-out prolonged sprints. Here we tested the effect of Mangifera indica L. leaf extract (MLE) rich in mangiferin (Zynamite®) administered with either quercetin (Q) and tiger nut extract (TNE), or with luteolin (Lut) on sprint performance and recovery from ischemia-reperfusion. Thirty young volunteers were randomly assigned to three treatments 48h before exercise. Treatment A: placebo (500 mg of maltodextrin/day); B: 140 mg of MLE (60% mangiferin) and 50 mg of Lut/day; and C: 140 mg of MLE, 600 mg of Q and 350 mg of TNE/day. After warm-up, subjects performed two 30s Wingate tests and a 60s all-out sprint interspaced by 4-min recovery periods. At the end of the 60-s sprint the circulation of both legs was instantaneously occluded for 20s. Then, the circulation was re-opened and a 15-s sprint performed, followed by 10 s recovery with open circulation, and another 15-s final sprint. MLE supplements enhanced peak (Wpeak) and mean (Wmean) power output by 5.0-7.0% (P<0.01). After ischemia, MLE+Q+TNE increased Wpeak by 19.4 and 10.2% compared with the placebo (P<0.001) and MLE+Lut (P<0.05), respectively. MLE+Q+TNE increased Wmean post-ischemia by 11.2 and 6.7% compared with the placebo (P<0.001) and MLE+Lut (P=0.012). Mean VO2 during the sprints was unchanged, suggesting increased efficiency or recruitment of the anaerobic capacity after MLE ingestion. In women, peak VO2 during the repeated sprints was 5.8% greater after the administration of MLE, coinciding with better brain oxygenation. MLE attenuated the metaboreflex hyperpneic response post-ischemia, may have improved O2 extraction by the vastus lateralis (MLE+Q+TNE vs placebo, P=0.056), and reduced pain during ischemia (P=0.068). Blood lactate, acid-base balance and plasma electrolytes responses were not altered by the supplements. In conclusion, a MLE extract rich in mangiferin combined with either quercetin and tiger nut extract or luteolin exerts a remarkable ergogenic effect, increasing muscle power in fatigued subjects and enhancing peak VO2 and brain oxygenation in women during prolonged sprinting. Importantly, the combination of MLE+Q+TNE improves skeletal muscle contractile function during ischemia/reperfusion.

Under the reported analytical conditions, MGF is not detected in brain tissue, consistent with limited penetration across the blood-brain barrier in this model.
“Under the reported analytical conditions, MGF is not detected in brain tissue, which is consistent with limited penetration across the blood-brain barrier in this model (19).”
From Mangiferin in human disease: Multifaceted mechanisms and applications (Review) (2026) · cites this paper as [19]
The Materials and methods section describes measurements of cerebral oxygenation and blood velocity, not an assay for mangiferin (MGF) in brain tissue. The Introduction says mangiferin can traverse the blood-brain barrier, but the paper reports no brain-tissue detection result or analytical conditions that could establish the claimed limited penetration. Searches for brain-tissue detection and blood-brain-barrier penetration found no such result. (LLM, conf=0.77)

“Under the reported analytical conditions, MGF is not detected in brain tissue, which is consistent with limited penetration across the blood‑brain barrier in this model (19).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
