Morphology
Irvingia + gabonensis
This is a scientific binomial / proper name rather than a compositional English phrase; the overall meaning ('the seed extract or product from the species Irvingia gabonensis') is lexicalized and domain-specific. The second element 'gabonensis' is a Latin species epithet (not a transparent English word) and even if a learner knows 'Irvingia' as a supplement, they would not reliably infer the full product meaning from the parts, so it is opaque to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Irvingia gabonensis as a product name comes from the same tree: it means something made from the seeds or extract of the Irvingia gabonensis tree. So when you see this on a label, it tells you the supplement or oil was made from that tree's seeds and is often sold for 'weight management' or 'weight loss'.
