I’m a chiropractor and I have a patient that has been taking a product call “Xango”. Its a juice made from the mangosteen fruit, which I believe is indigenous to certain parts of Asia. It contains Xanthones, which I just found out was the most powerful antioxidant in the world. This product has supposedly done wonders from people suffering from a number of ailments including RA, high BP and fibromyalgia. hundreds of MDs and D.C swear by it. Are you familiar?

Where can I order fresh mangosteen fruit? They recently passed the FDA law to ship it into the states, and I’ve read that you can get it for $45 a pound in some places of New York, but is there somewhere I can order it directly from Thailand, or somewhere else? I live in Kansas, and needless to say, it’s hard to find. Please help. Thanks.

Da Austrian Oak asked:


I’m told that I would probably only find them in Asian stores, but only canned. Also, I read in other answers for other people that the fruit by itself is probably not available in the U.S. by itself. So, does anyone know of a specific canned product, like the name of it? I want to taste the fruit itself even if it’s canned, not just the juice. I can get that at the Vitamin Shoppe and I’ve never even bought it. Way too expensive.

Xanthones (form of antioxidant) which are found in high quantities in the mangosteen fruit have been found to offer numerous benefits. One of the most recent discoveries is they’re been linked to helping with Fibromyalgia. What exactly have they been found to do for Fibromyalgia patients? Xanthones have been found to act as pain relievers.

It’s no secret that the mangosteen fruit offers numerous medical benefits, while they are medicinal in nature, the people of Southeast Asia have been consuming the fruit for hundreds of years and reaping the herbal benefits of the fruit. There’s little doubt that as time progresses we’ll discover more and more healthy benefits this fruit has to offer.

What is Fibromyalgia?

Just a brief overview of what is Fibromyalgia. A very frustrating and debilitating disease that is characterized (but not limited to) joint, muscle, and bone pain combined with fatigue. Of course those can be th symptoms of other similar chronic syndromes such as lupus or chronic fatigue syndrome. This makes it very difficult for doctors to diagnose properly and in a timely fashion.

The main symptom of Fibromyalgia is that of widespread pain through out the body. The pain is often accompanied by increased sensitivity in the skin, along with aches and pain in muscle tissue and a weakness in limbs.

Other symptoms that are often associated with Fibromyalgia include chronic paresthesia, physical fatigue, irritable bowel syndrome, genitourinary symptoms such as those associated with chronic interstitial cystitis, as well as dermatological disorders, headaches, myoclonic twitches, and symptomatic hypoglycemia.

While there isn’t an actual cure for the disease the best treatment is to seek out options to help relieve suffering from symptoms. This is where the relations of mangosteen and Fibromyalgia comes into play.

Fibromyalgia and Mangosteens

There aren’t any scientific claims that there is a hardened fast relationship between Fibromyalgia and mangosteens, those suffering from the disease who have tried mangosteen to help with pain relief seem to have nothing but positive results to speak of.

The mystery disease that is Fibromyalgia is constantly leaving doctors guessing, so patients often get fed up with “Western medicine” and opt to see out other options to help relieve pain and symptoms. Quite often prescribed meds from doctors just don’t do the job. Many who suffer have noted that incorporating Mangosteen into their daily regime helps with relief from Fibromyalgia symptoms.

More then just relief from symptoms those consuming mangosteen also reported feeling better over all, which is likely contributed to the massive effect that Xanthones can have on our body. As each case is different your relationship of Fibromyalgia and mangosteens may not be the same as the next, but even without huge relief from symptoms this fruit is sure to have a positive effect on your overall health.

In 600 AD, scribes in Southeast Asia first recorded the use of the Mangosteen fruit as a general remedy and healing agent. More than a thousand years later (1673), Laurens Garcin (the base of the name Garcinia mangostana), studied the fruit, provided detailed diagrams, and determined that the mangosteen was helpful in treating various intestinal inflammations. In the following centuries, scattered research and documentation continued. Then suddenly, in the late 20th century, the research multiplied. Today, you can visit the National Library of Medicine website and simply type the word “mangosteen.” You’ll get more than 20 documented results from the last 13 years alone. And each entry provides detailed research on the medicinal properties and health benefits of the mangosteen.

As you read through the research and talk to people who know about XanGo Juice, they’ll mention the word “xanthones.” So let me take a minute to explain what they’re talking about. You’ve heard of antioxidants; they’re a common health-conscious buzzword. So let’s define xanthones this way: xanthones are some of the most powerful antioxidants ever found. And the whole mangosteen fruit bursts with more than 40 known xanthones, all fighting hard to:

- Support microbiological balance

- Maintain immune system health

- Promote joint flexibility

- Provide positive mental support

And XanGo’s whole mangosteen fruit puree–formulated specifically for your overall wellbeing—represents the next generation of powerful phytonutrients. What are phytonutrients? All-natural plant compounds offering health-protecting benefits that will change the future of dietary supplements. Now you can search far and wide for xanthones. But chances are, you’ll only find trace amounts in certain fruits and vegetables. However, the pericarp of the mangosteen is the premier source of these nutrients in concentrated amounts.

Most scientific studies actually name the Mangosteen pericarp as the quintessential source of xanthones. And, until recently, the xanthone-packed power of the mangosteen has been one of nature’s best-kept secrets. Dr. David Morton has spent the past 3 years researching the power of the mangosteen fruit. Immediately compiling more than “a foot and a half” of research, Dr. Morton has become one of the primary experts on the properties of mangosteen. After all of his work, I think this statement sums up the way most people feel about XanGo Juice’s whole-fruit mangosteen supplement: “People want to separate the wheat from the chaff when it comes to herbal supplements, and the mangosteen fruit really rises above that, because the mangosteen fruit can back up its claims with science journals from around the world.” Dr. David Morton, Exploration DVD

Burple asked:


I stopped by a Xango booth this weekend and the guy I talked to said that Xango has a patent so that no other place in the world can manufacture a mangosteen beverage using the peel. That only the inner fruit is legal for sale in other brands. This doesn’t sound right. How can you patent something that is natural? It’s like putting a patent on banana peels. No one can use banana peels or they will get sued!!

The mangosteen it is a fruit that originated in South East Asia. It grows only in tropical, equatorial areas. Mangosteen is not well known by the general population. The majority of the benefits come from the outer rind or skin that is used in the making of the mangosteen supplements. One of the most recognized benefits of mangosteens is the amount of antioxidants in them. Antioxidants are compounds the slow the aging process of cells, resulting in higher energy levels. Antioxidants are often referred to as a natural cure all. Mangosteen is considered to be one of the newest and hottest topics in health supplements today.

Mangoxan is an uniquely tasty and surprisingly wholesome juice nutritional supplementation which is comprised of an entire fruit puree of strange mangosteen along with respective new all-natural, high-antioxidant fruit juices and purees. This beverage is distinct from any new character or kind of fruit juice, as it enhances your health in astonishing ways with the assistance of the xanthones included as easily as new antioxidants. Mangosteen and mangosteen supplements to affirm the benefits of mangosteen. It has been promoted in preventing the effects of sure types of cancer; however this has still to be proven.

Mangosteens have been shown to get both anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, and are used by some for just that aim when they contract a transmission. Mangosteen too appears to get anti-histamine and anti-inflammatory properties. Mangosteen have focused on the pericarp, or the darkness, woody rind as opposed to the fruit inside the woody rind. The pericarp contains the involved xanthone compounds. The fruit itself likely has some advantageous compounds but the compounds within the mangosteen fruit have not been studied as easily as the mangosteen rind. Mangosteen juice has been used for centuries as a people cure.

The mangosteen fruit has been widely acclaimed of having the qualities of an anti-histamine, anti-aging salve, antibiotic, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory. Mangosteen distill has too been mostly received as being helpful in the handling of arthritis, acid dyspepsia, conservative asthma, otitis externa and eczema. It is considered to be at least as efficient and useful as most pharmacological agents, and diabetics particularly are progressively in favour of its consumption. Many diabetic users describe the consumption of mangosteen has decreasing their demand for insulin dramatically.
