XanGo Mangosteen Juice

XanGo - The mangosteen is a fruit grown primarily in Southeast Asia and revered as the Queen of Fruits (Queen Victoria would offer Knighthood to anyone who would bring a fresh supply). The scientific name is Garcinia mangostana and it is traditionally recognized for its enticing flavor and high value in folk medicine. You're probably wondering why you haven't heard of it before. Surprisingly, until now the mangosteen fruit had never been properly introduced outside of its native region.

 

OK, But is There Science Behind It? Absolutely. Researchers have identified dozens of biologically active compounds called xanthones in the rind of the mangosteen fruit. There are many research papers online worth examining (if you're the skeptical type) that span decades of scrutiny. If you want to look for yourself, visit Pubmed.org and then type in "Xanthones" or "Mangosteen" in the search box.

 

XanGo - Researchers have gone so far as to say: "Xanthones show considerable biological activity, and it is surprising that none of them so far have an established use in medicine." - Taylor and Frost, Phytochemical Dictionary, 1983. Stacks of existing mangosteen research have been validated with thousands of individual accounts in dozens of countries. So What Do Xanthones Do, Exactly? Xanthones are a family of the most vigorous phytonutrients and have been proven in many scientific studies to promote healthy bodily function. The whole mangosteen fruit, packed with naturally occurring xanthones, may help: maintain intestinal health, strengthen the immune system, support cartilage and joint function and promote a healthy respiratory system. Over 40 of the xanthones from the mangosteen have been studied. Researchers are just beginning to uncover the powerful scientific properties behind xanthones. As new discoveries are made, centuries of traditional medicinal success are both validated and explained.

 

XanGo has also been shown to contain powerful antioxidants, compounds that inhibit oxidation or reactions promoted by oxygen and peroxides. First, a word about free radicals: There is no escaping free radicals. They are in your food, air and environment, and they storm your body every day. It's a simple fact. Free radicals seek out electrons in order to become atomically balanced and attack your body's cells, stealing electrons from any substance with which they come in contact. This inflicting damage – often known as oxidation – is irreversible.

 

But, before you get too depressed, there is good news: Antioxidants are highly regarded for their ability to protect the body from the deteriorating effects of free radicals. They preempt free-radical damage by donating the needed electron and balancing the substance, rendering the free radical harmless. For more information on XanGo, please visit XANGO.
