A study found that mango stem bark extract showed a powerful scavenging activity of hydroxyl radicals and acted as a chelator of iron. Although iron is an essential mineral, it is toxic in excessive amounts. Iron chelators could be an important approach to lessen iron-induced oxidative damage and prevent iron accumulation in diseases in which accumulation is prevalent, such as hemochromatosis, a metabolic disorder in which the body absorbs too much iron, and thalassemia, a rare, inherited blood disorder caused by a lack of haemoglobin, which results in fewer healthy red blood cells.

This same study found a significant inhibitory effect on the degradation of brain cell membranes in an animal model, and prevented DNA damage caused by some chemotherapy treatments.

Study showed the consumption of freeze-dried mango prevented the increase in fat mass and the percentage of body fat as well as improved glucose tolerance and lowered insulin resistance.
