Two names, two plant parts
Two of the six ingredients in Jello Burn are plant extracts that sound quite different but follow the same label pattern. African Mango Seed Extract is an extract made from a seed. Green Tea Leaf Extract is an extract made from a leaf.
The pattern in each name is useful: plant, then the part of the plant, then the word extract. Once you recognize that pattern, you can read most botanical ingredient lists with confidence, because the name itself describes what you are looking at.
This post is identification only. It tells you what each ingredient is and how to find it, without making claims about what either one does.
What an extract is
An extract is a preparation made from a plant material. A seed or a leaf is processed so that a concentrated form can be used in a finished product. On a label you will see the word extract after the plant part, which signals that the ingredient is that preparation rather than the plain, whole plant.
That distinction is why a label might say Green Tea Leaf Extract rather than simply green tea. The first describes a specific ingredient. The second could describe a drink, a bag of dried leaves or several other things. Specific names make comparison easier.
A good habit is to photograph the panel or keep the bottle nearby when you compare products. Seeing the exact wording side by side makes it easier to notice differences in plant parts, forms and the order in which ingredients are listed.
Where they appear
Both names turn up in everyday wellness formulas. Green tea is a very familiar plant, so the leaf extract is easy to recognize on a shelf. African mango is less familiar to many shoppers, and the seed extract is mostly met on supplement labels.
In Jello Burn, the two sit alongside Chromium, Guarana Seed Extract, Maca Root Extract and Grape Seed Extract. Together, those make six named ingredients. The ingredients page shows them in a single view, each described neutrally.
For the seed extracts that remain, see the post on guarana and maca root.
Reading the names on a supplement facts panel
When you look at a panel, the ingredient rows carry the full names. Here is a quick way to read them.
- The first words name the plant, such as African Mango or Green Tea.
- The next word names the part, such as Seed or Leaf.
- The final word, Extract, shows the form of the ingredient.
Sometimes a label adds the botanical Latin name in parentheses, which is a precise way to identify the plant. Some labels also name which plant part was used in a separate column. Either way, the same reading approach applies.
The panel on the Jello Burn bottle lists the details, and customer support can share them.
Why plant-part names help you compare products
Suppose two products both mention green tea. One lists a leaf extract and another lists a different preparation. Because the label names the part and the form, you can see they are not identical ingredients. Careful naming turns a vague impression into a clear comparison.
The same goes for African mango. A seed extract is named differently from other products made from the fruit, so reading the exact wording tells you which one a label means.
This habit of reading the whole name carefully is the single most useful skill when shopping for any supplement, and it is covered in more detail in our guide to botanical extracts on a supplement label.
Finding general reference material
If you would like background reading on plants and nutrition in general, public resources are available. The USDA FoodData Central database lets you look up everyday foods and the components they contain, and the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements publishes consumer-friendly fact sheets on a range of dietary supplement topics.
These sources are linked at the end of this page. They are useful for learning vocabulary and for browsing, and the bottle in your hands remains the best guide to any particular product.
A short glossary for these two names
- African mango: the plant named in the first ingredient.
- Seed: the part of that plant used for the extract.
- Green tea: the plant named in the second ingredient.
- Leaf: the part of that plant used for the extract.
- Extract: the form in which the ingredient is listed.
Keep this glossary handy the next time you scan a label. It works for countless other products too, and it turns unfamiliar names into readable ones.

Order Jello BurnFrequently Asked Questions
Are African mango seed and green tea the same kind of ingredient?
They are similar in form, but they come from different plant parts. African Mango Seed Extract is made from a seed, and Green Tea Leaf Extract is made from a leaf. Both use the same label pattern of plant name, plant part and the word extract, which makes them easy to recognize once you know the pattern. In Jello Burn, they are two of six named ingredients, alongside Chromium, Guarana Seed Extract, Maca Root Extract and Grape Seed Extract. The ingredients page on this site lists all six with neutral descriptions, and the bottle carries the complete supplement facts panel with the details printed by the manufacturer.
Where can I see how much of each ingredient is in the bottle?
The supplement facts panel on the bottle lists the details, and customer support can share them if you would like to see them before you order. This site keeps to identification and does not publish amounts, so you always get the information straight from the manufacturer label rather than a second-hand summary. If you want a refresher on what each row of a panel means, our guide to reading a supplement facts panel walks through it in order. The official order page shows the pack options, price per bottle for each pack and the 60-day money-back guarantee included with every pack.
