Introducing....the Mangosteen Fruit.

Mangosteen. A fruit of such delicious taste and prized properties that it has become known as "Queen of Fruits" and "Fruit of the Gods."

Although mangosteen is relatively unknown in North America and Europe, the people of Southeast Asia have used this fruit for centuries in folklore remedies and cures. Even though they have knowledge of hundreds of botanicals, the mangosteen stands out in a class by itself. How else could it earn the nickname, "Queen of Fruits?"

Over the last 30+ years, independent scientific studies from around the world have been proving the many beneficial properties of this amazing fruit. You might even describe the mangosteen as "Nature's Medicine Chest." It is a food, not a drug, which means it should be safe for almost anyone to try! Why use a medicine if a food can do the same thing?

So read these stories, continue your research, and please get back in touch with the person who shared this site with you! They can help you get some mangosteen juice so you can try it too – you just might like the results!

Look for a product that contains a high-quality, WHOLE-FRUIT mangosteen blend. The MAJORITY of healing properties are in the PERICARP (the rind) of the fruit, so if you are only getting the fruit juice (and not the entire fruit pulp) then it won't do you much good. It's also best to get the mangosteen in as close to the original form as possible -- the less processing the better (ie. extracts, powders, pills, etc. are simply not as good as the whole fruit juice)..who'd want to give up the great taste of the juice anyway!

Science about the Mangosteen Fruit.

Modern day science has recently begun to appreciate the incredible, nutrient-rich value of mangosteen and its wide-reaching, health-promoting properties. We now know, for example, that mangosteen contains a number of vitamins and minerals in trace amounts. Mangosteen also contains the following compounds: polysaccharides, quinones, stilbenes and xanthones. This combination of plant compounds is unique.

The group of mangosteen compounds that have been studied the most is xanthones.

This particular class of plant nutrients are highly, biologically active and are unique because they possess very potent antioxidant properties. Of all the known sources for xanthones, the mangosteen fruit supplies some of the highest amounts found in all of nature. There are over 30 different types of xanthone compounds identified in mangosteen, but one of the most researched is "beta mangostin." Preliminary research shows that beta mangostin and possibly some of the other xanthones in mangosteen have very potent life-supporting properties.*
