The people of Southeast Asia have been calling mangosteen as the "Queen of Fruits" the exquisite taste, the amazing health benefits that Mangosteen can bring.
Mangosteen is known for its tremendous healing propreties.
They use the whole Mangosteen fruit especially the rind or pericarp to ward off and treat infections, control fever, reduce pain or treat inflammation, diarrhea, cystitis, gleet, gonorrhea, dysentery, eczema and a variety of other ailments.
Where do all these amazing health benefits of Mangosteen come from?
Mangosteen contains potent, natural healing compounds called Xanthones, which represent the next generation of powerful, biologically-active, natural chemical compounds from nature.
The whole Mangosteen fruit is the single, most abundant known source of Xanthones.
We know about the antioxidant benefits of vitamins C and E, but we're just starting to learn about the incredible power of Xanthones, which provide MANY TIMES the antioxidant capacity of these two popular vitamins.
Scientific studies and clinical experience suggest that Xanthones may offer support for every system in our body and provide a natural, beneficial and safe alternative to many conventional therapies or treatments.

Mangosteen's Versatility
What makes the Mangosteen so versatile in addressing so many health issues and in promoting health in so many different ways?The Xanthones in Mangosteen have similar molecular structures, but each has its own unique chemical composition that enables it to perform a specific function.
Alpha-mangostin, for example, is a very potent antioxidant.
Gamma-mangostin is a powerful anti-inflammatory.
Garcinone E is a strong anti-tumor agent.
Polysaccharides are excellent anti-cancer and anti-bacterial compounds.
These and the other Xanthones found in the Mangosteen provide a virtual medicine chest of natural healing compounds that provide a wide variety of health benefits.
