The phytoceuticals of the mangosteen have been widely studied, but
none as much as the class of highly active substances called
Xanthones.
There are approximately 200 known xanthones in nature, and over 40
of them have now been accounted for in the mangosteen fruit. No
other fruit even comes close to that.
In 2000, a pharmacological study from a European university [2]
indicated the following pharmaceutical properties in naturally
occurring xanthones:
- anti-depressant
- anti-microbial (bacteria and fungus)
- anti-viral
- anti-leukemic
- anti-tumor activity
- anti-ulcer
- anti-diabetic activity
The majority of the xanthones found in the mangosteen are located
in the rind, or pericarp (outer shell) of the fruit. This is why
the XanGo formulation uses the whole entire fruit, ground up
into a paste, and transformed in to a liquid supplement.
It’s the only product on the market that uses the whole
mangosteen, packing it full of these amazing xanthones. That’s
why XanGo patented this formulation.
Any other mangosteen juice legally cannot be made of the whole
mangosteen fruit. In other words, it won’t have the full studied
benefits of Xanthones.
