Mangosteen Juice fakeries and forgeries abound on the Internet. It would be fitting to break it down a little bit as to what to look for when buying mangosteen juice so you don’t get suckered.

First of all, mangosteens are a kind of exotic fruit that is grown in Southeast Asian countries, like Thailand. It has antioxidant properties that may help maintain intestinal health, strengthen the immune system, and neutralize free radicals. If that wasn’t enough, it also helps support cartilage and joint function and a healthy seasonal respiratory system.

Yes this is one heck of a fruit, which explains why so many companies are trying to do copycat imitations of mangosteen products after the original company, XanGo, successfully brought mangosteen juice to the marketplace.

Now the prime active “ingredients” in the mangosteen fruit are xanthones. This is what makes the mangosteen so potent. Xanthones are a type of phytonutrient. And in case you’re wondering what a phytonutrient is, it’s a natural, bioactive compounds found in plant foods like mangosteens.

Most of the xanthones are found in the rind of the mangosteen fruit. This is why you want a mangosteen product that has the rind in it. Good luck finding anything outside of Xango’s Mangosteen Juice.

There are a lot of products out there that claim to have the whole fruit in its composition. Most do not. When products state that they contain the whole fruit, they mean the part of fruit that is edible. The rind isn’t included in that definition which is why many companies can get away with saying that; they are deceiving people into thinking that they have the most important part of the mangosteen, the rind, in their product, in which they don’t.

The point is, if you don’t have the rind in your supplement then you are not getting the best benefit from this exotic fruit; in fact, you will get mediocre results, if any results at all.

If you have a product that has rind extracts in it, you must know that a chemical process was involved and that usually means alcohol was used.

Why would you buy a natural whole food supplement that uses chemicals to extract the nutrients? It’s illogical at best. It’s like shaving off all your hair so you can go buy a wig.

You know that doesn’t make sense, but yet people spend money on products that are manufactured that way. And the makers of these products are laughing all the way to the bank.

Look, if you’re going to plunk down your money for something, wouldn’t it be wise to get the product that is going to have the best benefit for you?

You are basically wasting your money on these inferior products. I’ve seen some of them and they’re a joke, not to mention potentially dangerous.

I seen a mangosteen juice product that looked like barbeque sauce-and I’m not exaggerating. I couldn’t figure out how a fruit that is mainly purplish red turn into a brownish thick-ish gravy-looking “liquid.” Not only that, the label for the product looked like it was made on a computer with a cheap printer. This is scary stuff!

I would suggest you be careful as to what you consume especially if it’s from a non-recognizable company.

All in all, if you want the best mangosteen juice on the market then go with the product that will give you the best bang for your buck. Don’t you think you deserve it?

Well first, for those who dont know what the mangosteen is…

The mangosteen is a fruit grown primarily in Southeast Asia and is often called the “Queen of All Fruits”. The scientific name is Garcinia mangostana and it is mostly known for its great flavor and the many folk benefits of mangosteen.

The dark purple rind was dried & ground and used to fight off infection. Ancient healers used the extract of the fruit to reduce fever. Poultices were made to treat parasitic skin infections. The benefits of mangosteen have been used for centuries to treat dysentery, diarrhea, urinary tract infections, and eczema.

Not many have heard of the mangosteen before because, until now the mangosteen fruit had never been talked about outside of its native region.

Researchers have identified dozens of biologically active compounds called “Xanthones” in the rind of the mangosteen fruit. There are many research papers on the benefits of mangosteen. In fact, there are stacks of existing mangosteen research in dozens of countries talking about the benefits of mangosteen.

Xanthones, the active compounds in mangosteen, have been proven in many scientific studies to promote healthy bodily function. The whole mangosteen fruit, packed with naturally occurring xanthones, can help:

-Maintain Intestinal Health , -Strengthen Your Immune System , -Promote a Healthy Respiratory System , -Support Cartilage and Joint Function , -Combat the effects of Free Radicals and Inflammation ,

But the benefits of mangosteen were a mystery for a long time. It wasn’t until 40 years ago when scientists first put the Mangosteen Fruit under the microscope that they discovered these Xanthones.

Xanthones are 100 times more powerful anti-oxidants than vitamin A, C & E and also have shown incredible healing properties in reviewed scientific studies all around the world.

These supercharged anti-Oxidants, are found more in the rind of the Mangosteen Fruit than any other food source on earth. The benefits of mangosteen have been shown to include the following:

-Anti-aging -Anti-biotic -Alzheimers -Parkinsons -Anxiety -Antioxant -Anti-Allergy -Anti-depressant -Periodontal (gum health) -Eye health -Migraines -Skin rashes -Hypertension -Pan systemic -Energizer (Energy booster) -Anti-Inflammatory -Anti-Tumor -Analgesic (Pain reducer) -Nerve pain -Anti-pyretic (Lowers fevers) -Anti-viral -Stimulates red blood cell growth -Ulcers -Osteoporosis -Immune Modulator (help immune system) -Cardio protective (helps protect heart) -Cataracts -Irritable bowel syndrome -Anti-fungal -Anti-pathogenic (reduce pathogens) -Anti-parasitic -Supports weight loss -Hardening of the arteries -Anti-lipidemic (lowers blood fat) -Anti-diabetic (lowers blood sugar)

**Six Xanthones were even found to KILL CANCER Cells.

It’s obvious that this fruit has amazing properties and the benefits of mangosteen can be reaped by many. I myself was turned on by the natural “energy boost”, after experiencing bad caffiene withdrawals from coffee.

More and more people are seeking “natural” health alternatives, and the mangosteen just might play a huge part in fulfilling that void.

The mangosteen fruit originated in the Malay Archipelago and quickly spread through the warm tropical climates of Southeast Asia . The small dark purple fruit with a delicious white pulp grows abundantly and is harvested twice a year from a small evergreen tree. Native people throughout Southeast Asia have historically used the fruit for its natural properties. It was when Europeans explored Southeast Asia that folklore related to the mangosteen first spread to western culture. However, it was not until XanGo LLC launched XanGo Juice in 2002 that mangosteen began to achieve widespread recognition and acceptance in western markets . The mangosteen rind was sliced and dried, then ground to a powder and administered as an herbal preparation. The mangosteen rind was steeped in water overnight and taken as a tea as well as made into an ointment and applied externally as a lotion. It was through these popular uses that the benefits of mangosteen were passed down through history and several scientists and explorers took note. The mangosteen is so revered in Thailand that the Thai government recognizes it as the country’s national fruit.

The mangosteen fruit is an exceptional fruit fusing nutrition and sensational flavor. There are many elements found in the mangosteen that provide nutritional benefits. The main compounds, 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. Plant actives known as flavonoids offer additional benefits to the body. The two main flavonoids found in the mangosteen are 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. The mangosteen has been researched for 150 years, resulting in over 110 studies published in scientific journals, with studies touching on every system of the body. XanGo Juice is a great tasting beverage with naturally occurring nutrients, such as xanthones and flavonoids. A healthy diet low in saturated and trans fats may reduce the risk of heart disease. XanGo Juice is free of saturated and trans fats. Xanthones (or catechins, flavonoids, proanthocyanidins) are a factor in the maintenance of good health and a factor in normal growth and development.

Their only mission is to steal one, causing damage to your healthy cells by altering its chemical structure. In the oxidative chaos, free radicals critically damage your cells, proteins, DNA and therefore causes cancer, arthritis, diabetes, heart disease and on and on. Antioxidants are important to us because they stop damage from free radicals by providing them with the elecrons they so desperately are seeking out, leaving strong and healthy cells alone.

Stephanie Yeh and Leta Worthington asked:


If you are hooked into any source of information for natural health supplements, you’ve probably heard of the mangosteen fruit and wondered, “What’s the big deal?” Why is everyone crowing about mangosteen benefits? The mangosteen fruit, called the Queen of Fruits, is grown in Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, India, Brazil, Africa, the Caribbean and the Philippines. This fruit, which is no bigger than a tangerine, is packed with healing properties and has been used for centuries as a potent folk medicine. Now scientific research is discovering that it is the compound called xanthones that give this little fruit such a powerful punch. Traditionally used to help with ailments such as diarrhea, eczema, thrush, urinary infections and menstrual problems, researchers are discovering that mangosteen benefits healthy people as well.

If you live in modern society you are constantly being bombarded with toxic chemicals, poor air quality, nutritionally depleted foods, bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Yuck! All this stress causes a buildup of free radicals in the body. These free radicals are unstable atoms that damage other healthy atoms when they come in contact with them. Damage to healthy atoms leads to damage to the cells and the resulting inflammation sets up such degenerative conditions such as arthritis, gum disease, hardening of the arteries, and even cancer. This is where the mangosteen benefits come in. Mangosteen is very high in xanthones which are anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and powerful antioxidants or free radical scavengers. In addition, xanthones may help maintain intestinal health, strengthen the immune system, neutralize free radicals, help support cartilage and joint function, and promote a healthy seasonal respiratory system. Xanthones are not found in significant levels in any other food besides the mangosteen pericarp. In fleshy fruits like the mangosteen, the pericarp is the outer, and often edible, layer of the fruit.

In addition to the powerful xanthones, mangosteen also contains polysaccharides which are incredibly potent anti-cancer and anti-bacterial plant compounds. Quinones are also contained in the mangosteen and these compounds are known for their anti-bacterial properties. The mangosteen benefits are further enhanced by stilbenes which are anti-fungal and strong antioxidants.

Drinking mangosteen juice, which contains the nutrient-rich pericarp, is a simple way to get all these health building products into your body to help your own immune system work at its best to keep you healthy. While it is certainly powerful in treating illness the best mangosteen benefits are like the old adage, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” and come from preventing illness from occurring. The good news is that healthy people don’t need to drink much mangosteen juice at all to maintain and enhance optimum health. Many researchers recommend drinking between one and three ounces of mangosteen juice to get great benefits. Mangosteen juice is also beneficial to animals and has been used to provide nutrition to horses, dogs, cats, and more.
