Native people throughout Southeast Asia have historically used the mangosteen fruit for its natural properties. In 599 AD, scribes in Southeast Asia first recorded the use of the Mangosteen fruit as a natural remedy and healing agent. More than a thousand years later, Laurens Garcin , studied the fruit, provided detailed diagrams, and determined that the mangosteen was helpful in treating various intestinal inflammations. In the following centuries, research and documentation multiplied. Today, you can visit the National Library of Medicine website and simply type the word: Mangosteen. You will get more than 30 documented results from the last 15 years alone. And each entry provides detailed research on the medicinal properties and health benefits of the mangosteen.

As you read through the scientific research and talk to people who know about XanGo Juice, they will mention the word: Xanthones. So let me take a minute to explain what they are talking about. You have heard of antioxidants; they are a common health-conscious buzzword. So let’s define xanthones this way: xanthones are some of the most powerful antioxidants ever found. Xanthones, are very stable and robust molecules, which show biological activity. The mangosteen fruit contains approximately 40 known xanthones and the majority of these are found in the highest concentration in the rind. In addition, there are two flavonoids in the mangosteen: catechins (found in green tea) and proanthcyandins (found in grape seeds). Many research institutions, such as The Mayo Clinic, The Linus Pauling Institute, UCLA Center for Human Nutrition and many others have studied flavonoids extensively. While science is still progressing in its attempt to validate the uses of mangosteen, the research of the mangosteens powerful phytonutrients thus far is quite promising.

XanGo Juice is a great tasting beverage with naturally occurring nutrients, such as xanthones and flavonoids. XanGo’s whole mangosteen fruit puree represents the next generation of powerful phytonutrients. What are phytonutrients? All-natural plant compounds offering health-protecting benefits that will change the future of dietary supplements. Now you can search far and wide for xanthones. But chances are, you will only find trace amounts in certain fruits and vegetables. However, the pericarp of the mangosteen is the premier source of these nutrients in concentrated amounts.
