The mangosteen fruit comes from of course a mangosteen tree that originate in the subtropical regions of South East Asia. Nowadays mangosteen fruit is grown all over the world including many countries across Asia, Africa and North and South America. Mangosteen trees are generally very tall and are shaped like a pyramid that enables them to best draw in heat from the sun and gather water when it rains. Most of these trees including the mangosteen fruit do not tolerate colder climates and will generally not last very long at all below 45°F.

This is one of the reasons why mangosteen fruit is so expensive to buy in America as most of it has to be imported from countries that can sustain natural growth for these trees, more so countries like Thailand and Indonesia. One other reason why mangosteen fruit is so expensive is because it is one of the hardest fruits on Earth to grow. Basically for a tree to spout their flowers, all conditions must be perfect. Many locals of Thailand believe that growing mangosteen is more of an art that anything and take their jobs very seriously. Mangosteen trees like the soil to be wet but not too wet, they hate the cold, salty air and high elevations. Also the soil they prefer is not sandy or silty. Most trees grow in Rainforests where the conditions are absolutely perfect and you may notice them growing like wildflower in the depths of the rainforests in South East Asia.

One other thing that most people don’t know about is that it takes ten years before a tree is able to produce any mangosteen fruit. The fruits are normally 1 to 3 inches long and colored purple. The top of the fruit has a small blossom where the fruit was picked from and you will also notice that it is made up into 4 to 8 triangular segments.

Mangosteen fruits have two parts: the white center fruit, and the purple outer hull. The white center fruit is divided into segments, and there is one segment for each triangle in the blossom remnant. The white part of the fruit is prized for its flavor. Some people feel that it is the most delicious fruit in the world.

The outer rind of the mangosteen fruit is thick and purple. It contains bitter latex, and the purple juice is a permanent dye. This outer rind is also the richest source of healthful xanthones in the world. Mangosteen fruit has over 40 different xanthones.

Where Can I Get a Mangosteen Fruit?

Because mangosteen fruit is so expensive, it makes it hard to find especially if you live in a region of the world where it is not readily available. The fruit must be picked at a certain time and generally does not stay very long so you are going to have to make sure the fruit you pick isn’t off already.

You can get mangosteen from any supermarket provided they stock it, which is many cases they don’t. Most people choose to purchase the juice off the internet because it is cheaper and easier to find.

Mangosteen is an evergreen tree native to Asia that produces a large berry type fruit that is considered the ‘Queen of Fruits’.  Every part of the Mangosteen contais important nutritive qualities such as:



 Pulp:  The inner portion of the fruit is soft and fleshy; this is the pulp.  The pulp is where Mangosteen derives its amazing tastes that is like a combination of a Strawberry and an Orange.

Pericarp:  The outer portion of the fruit that surrounds the pulp and seeds is called the pericarp or rind.  This is where the majority of the nutrition of the Mangosteen is held and the pericarp of the Mangosteen has over 40 known Xanethones!

Leaves:  The Mangosteen leaves contain phytonutrients that offer nutritive qualities including antioxidants.



 

Mangosteen juice can be purchased from many places including grocery stores; however, these do not contain the whole fruit and unique processing used by Xango that preserves the many nutrients, xanethones and high antioxidants.  Xanethones have been studied and show a plethora of health benefits including:



 Healthy intestinal function

Stronger immune system

Neutralizing free radicals

Cartilage and joint support

Improves allergy ailments

Reduced inflammation

Reduction of some cancer cells (still in studies)



 

Personal Testimonies:

The benefits of using Xango juice are expected to be told by the distributors; however, the users are the ones who extol the benefits the loudest.  I personally have seen the miracles of Xango juice in healthy individuals, an individual who suffers from residual pain from a sever car accident and an individual who was nearly disabled by lupus, an auto immune disease.  It is the testimonies of these individuals that hold meaning to this metaphysician!



 The Healthy:  ‘S’ was a generally healthy man in his late 50’s who was over weight and suffered from allergies.  A friend told him about Xango and he decided to give it a try as he was looking for ways to improve his diet and be healthier.  Although he improved his eating habits ‘S’ had not been losing much weight.  ‘S’ began drinking Xango Mangosteen juice daily and within 6 weeks realized he was no longer taking the numerous allergy and sinus medications he was taking before.  This was a great joy to ‘S’, but when he stepped on the scales and saw that he had lost weight he was overjoyed.  ‘S’ is now at a weight he has not seen in many years and continues to enjoy the benefits of Xango every day.

The Car Accident:  ‘J’ was involved in a sever car accident that had broken his neck.  Through much therapy and time ‘J’ healed but continued to suffer from residual pain that affected his life and his work as a massage therapist.  ‘J’ began drinking Xango Mangosteen juice on a daily basis and today his residual pain has vanished.  As an added bonus to ‘J’, he no longer suffers from his allergy and sinus problems either!  ‘J’ was so amazed by the effects of Xango he went to his friend ‘S’ and introduced him to it!

The Lupus Patient:  ‘L’ suffered from an auto immune disease called Lupus.  This disease affected her joints and health in general making it impossible for ‘L’ to work through the pain and complications.  After being introduced to Xango and drinking it regularly ‘L’ and her husband were amazed at the positive affects she had.  ‘L’ still has lupus of course; however, now it is manageable and ‘L’ has returned to work.



 

Xango Mangosteen juice continues to change lives and improve the lives of people who drink this rather tasty nutritious supplement regularly.  Additionally Xango has recently launched a complete multi vitamin that utilizes whole foods in a blend of 12 fruits and 12 vegetables to create an easily absorbed supplement.

It’s a question that many people are looking to find the answer to, how much research has there really been done on mangosteen and its affects? Well this article will endeavor to explain the level of mangosteen research that has been conducted and whether or not it is completely sufficient enough to make the claim that mangosteen has these so called health benefits.

First of all how much do you know about mangosteen? Well let me explain. This fruit originates from South East Asia in the areas of subtropical climates, where it thrives in the humid conditions. It is a round purple colored fruit, around about the size of a mango. There is the claim that it contains a high level of a certain antioxidant known as a ‘xanthone’ and these antioxidants are said to have the ability to reduce the likelihood of someone developing cancer.

After a lot of mangosteen research we do know that this fruit contains a high level of xanthones that that they are definitely very strong antioxidants, however it should not be said that mangosteen holds the cure to cancer. First of all what does an antioxidant do to help your body. Well antioxidants are known to have the potential to remove free radicals that have the ability to transform later into cancer cells. What most people don’t know is that most fruit and vegetables contain a great deal of antioxidant.

What makes mangosteen so extraordinary is that the type of antioxidant it contains, the xanthones is far more powerful that most other types of antioxidants. After extensive research on this topic, nutritionists have concluded that we need to consume at least five pieces if fruit and vegetables a day to get enough antioxidants to help remove the amount of free radicals that form in our bodies.

Still many people believe that this amount is not sufficient enough with the amount of fatty foods people consume on a daily basis, especially in Western society. Therefore one of the things that needs to be pointed out is that eating mangosteen will definitely ensure that you will consume the required amount of antioxidants needed to fight free radicals in your bodies.

Although there has not been a great deal of mangosteen research done in the past, we are sure to see a lot more in the future due to the growing popularity of this amazing fruit and you can be confident that the results will be more positive than negative.

Dane Stanton asked:


What is it about mangosteen that is turning people’s heads all over the world? Now you can get mangosteen capsules that contain a dense volume of the extremely powerful antioxidant known as a xanthone. These mangosteen capsules are one of the brilliant inventions that have come out of the world of mangosteen. This article will endeavor to explain everything you need to know about mangosteen capsules and how they can benefit your health substantially.

Firstly you need to know a little about mangosteen and where it comes from. Mangosteen is a medium sized, purple fruit that is found in most parts of South East Asia, particularly in countries that have sub tropical temperatures, like Thailand. They were first used many centuries ago by the locals in the area and they eventually discovered that the people who ate mangosteen regularly, tended to live longer.

Now we know the reason for this is because, mangosteen contains very powerful antioxidants known as xanthones. Since then we have been able to harness these xanthones into a mangosteen capsule that offers people even more benefit than you would receive from eating the fruit raw.

How often should I take a mangosteen capsule?

Just how you would normally take an antioxidant pill once daily, the same is the case for a mangosteen capsule. This will ensure supreme health benefits and will help to remove all the free radicals that are a result from all the junk food we eat in modern society.

What are some of the benefits?

The first benefit of taking a mangosteen capsule daily has already been said and it is that the xanthones will help to remove the build up of free radicals in our bodies. These free radicals have potential to cause cancer and other diseases later in life.

The second health benefit of taking a mangosteen capsule daily is that it will help to strengthen your immune system. We all know that a strong immune system helps to stop harmful viruses from entering in and taking over our bodies. This is the main reason why people take an antioxidant daily and why everyone should be doing this.

There is not much more to be told about mangosteen capsules, other then they are usually quite cheap, yet hard to find. One of the best places to purchase this product is online at an vitamin website. Generally buying online is also cheaper and much easier so this should be your first point of call anyway.

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 intriguing flavor and many folk mangosteen fruit benefits.

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

Researchers have identified dozens of biologically active compounds called “Xanthones” in the rind of the mangosteen fruit. There are litterally stacks of existing mangosteen research in dozens of countries talking about the benefits of mangosteen.

Xanthones, the active compounds in the mangosteen fruit, have been proven in many scientific studies to promote healthy bodily function.

Actually, countless people with Diabetes have reported more energy, wieghtloss, increased blood circulation, and lower blood sugar.

In fact, I have seen people’s blood sugar drop as much as 50 points in their first week on the mangosteen supplement.

A select few have reported their blood sugar lowering as much as 100 points when sugar was high -just after a single dose!

Many people, including those with Diabetes 1, Diabetes 2, and chronic inflammation, have been very pleased with the mangosteen supplement.

But the mangosteen fruit benefits were a mystery for ever so long. It wasn’t until about 40 years ago when scientists first put Mangosteen fruit under the microscope that they discovered these “xanthones”.

Xanthones, according to researchers, are some of the most powerful antioxidants found in nature and have also demonstrated incredible healing properties in reviewed scientific studies all around the world.

Xanthones are found more in the rind of the mangosteen fruit than any other food source on earth. The mangosteen fruit benefits have been shown to include/help the following:

Anti-aging, Anti-biotic, Alzheimers, Parkinsons, Anxiety, Antioxidants, 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), and Anti-diabetic (lowers blood sugar).

Six Xanthones were even found to KILL CANCER CELLS.

Although the mangosteen is only one food source, its the many xanthones and antioxidant properties that allow it to provide such a wide range of health benefits.

It’s most recognized benefit is its anti-inflammatory properties.

Still, Diabetics around the world are finding not just hope, but results in the mangosteen supplement.

With the number of prescriptions increasing and diabetes continuing to spiral upward, the mangosteen has proven to be a valuable and a blessing to those willing to give it a try.

Kerry Ng asked:


he Mangosteen trees are a tall, pyramid-shaped tree that originated from South East Asia. The Mangosteen trees are grown in Asia, Africa, India and some areas in Central and South America. The trees are very sensitive to cold weather and anything below 45 degrees Fahrenheit will kill these trees.

The Mangosteen trees are very difficult to grow because these trees like lots of humidity and rain, but do not like the soil to be too wet. The trees do not like higher elevations, salt air, cold weather, and sandy or silt soil. They do like to grow in Asia and Africa, below 200 degrees latitude, then rain forest conditions, the way from the coast and in rich loamy soil.

The Mangosteen tree starts to produce when they are about ten years old. The Mangosteen fruit are small (1-3 inches) and purple. The top of the fruit has a small Rosette-shaped blossom remnant with 4 to 8 the triangular segments.

The Mangosteen fruits have two parts to them; a white center fruit and a purple outer hull. The White center part of the fruit is divided into different segments. There’s one segment for each triangle in the blossom remnant. The white part of the fruit it is well known for its flavor and some people feel that this fruit is one of the most delicious fruits in the world.

The outer part of the Mangosteen fruit this thick and purple. It does contain bitter latex and the purple juice itself it is a permanent dye. The Mangosteen fruit has over 40 different xanthones and the outer rind it is one of the richest sources of sxanthones in the world.

Where Can I Buy The Mangosteen Fruit?

You can purchase them Mangosteen fruit wherever it is grown. It can be a challenge to purchase the Mangosteen fruit locally because the food itself it is very picky about its shipping conditions.

Probably the best way to enjoy the benefits of the Mangosteen fruit is to drink it as a juice. Drinking the mangosteen juice maybe even healthier then eating the whole fruit by itself because the juice is made from the whole fruit.

Try going to your local health food store and ask them if they carry Mangosteen juice. Another way to purchase some Mangosteen fruit juice it is to look for some independent distributors. Go online and do search for Mangosteen juice and you will find lots of local distributors within your area.

Dane Stanton asked:


Mangosteen, known as “Queen of all fruit”, has been used for centuries by Asian health practitioners for its nutritional benefits and delicious flavor. It is known as an antioxidant-rich fruit. Using of various supplements that contain components of mangosteen is one of the popular ways to take care of health. An additional argument is that fresh mangosteen is difficult to transport, and the tinned fruit loses a great part of useful properties. The decision of this problem is mangosteen pills.

Mangosteen – Queen of All Fruit

Mangosteen is related to typically Thai fruit. During the season of rains (April – September) the markets of the West Indies countries are full with mangosteen fruit. Despite of the name is similar to mango, these plants are not relatives. Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) is from Guttiferae family, which includes over 200 kinds of edible fruit.

Mangosteen is considered to be one of the tastiest fruit in the world, but nevertheless it is cultivated on the limited areas, mainly in Thailand where mangosteen plantations occupy totally more than nine thousand of hectare. Also mangosteen is grown on the Philippines, in Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Honduras.

Mangosteen trees bear the first fruit relatively late at the age of 9 until they are 20 years old. A fructifying mangosteen tree is a tremendous view: bright round purple fruit emphasized by thick dark green leaves look wonderful. The diameter of mangosteen is about 6-9 sm, and it weighs from 80 up to 200 grams. The peel is very dense, 5 mm thick (one should not try to open the fruit with his teeth). It takes up approximately 2/3 of the fruit.

To reach the pulp, it is necessary to thrust a knife in the scape area and to divide the peel in half. Considerable efforts to cut the peel are worthy of it, since under the peel you will see white, or cream, juicy cloves (there are usually 5-8 ones) with oily, sweet, but not luscious, sometimes a bit astringent taste. To tell the truth, there is no fruit to compare mangosteen taste with, but believe – it is delicious. You should eat the fruit cautiously, since in some cloves there are rather large dark pits. The more cloves are in the fruit, the less pits it contains.

There are several dishes mangosteen may be added to fruit salads, compotes, it is possible to add it to cocktails with champagne, and it also may be preserved. There is only one problem about mangosteen. Some fruit can be ill, and in this case their pulp becomes dark, almost yellow, sticky, with unpleasant taste and smell. The reason of this disease is still unknown.

What is the Mangosteen Pill

Mangosteen pill is a very popular biologically active supplement due to curative properties of the fruit. Mangosteen pills are derived from the peel and the seeds. Mangosteen juice is pleasant, peel is not; but in fact it is the peel where the maximum of useful substances is concentrated. Therefore consumers are offered tablets. Mangosteen peel contains such useful substances as xanthones. These are powerful antioxidants, which effectively struggle with oncological diseases and possess antibacterial action. Besides, mangosteen is vascular relaxant that struggles against such illnesses as ischemic heart disease, hypertension, atherosclerosis, thrombosis, and so on. Many people strain to spend a lot of money and to accept a large amount of various supplements to provide their body with a daily norm of various substances. Mangosteen pills helps you to save time and money and to supply human organism with all the necessary substances.
