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.

*Xanthones: More than Antioxidants*

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 41 known xanthones, all fighting hard to:

1) Support microbiological balance

2) Maintain immune system health

3) Promote joint flexibility

4) 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 Juice 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.

The makers of XanGo juice, however, claims to have gotten around this obstacle by making a whole fruit juice. In other words, they process the whole fruit for pulping and juicing. The specific process of mangosteen pureeing is undisclosed for proprietary reasons and, assumingly, to protect it from copycats in the industry. The whole fruit extract, apparently, is what you will find in every bottle of XanGo juice.

The XanGo juice, furthermore, is distinctive in its packaging. Much as you’d expect from a Mangosteen juice product, the juice itself is purple. The bottle is definitely sexy, it looks like a bottle of expensive body lotion except is reminiscent of that which you will find on brandy bottles.

Therapeutic Benefits of XanGo Juice

XanGo claims that the XanGo mangosteen juice has therapeutic qualities because of the antioxidant xanthones which has been found to be abundant in mangosteens. Since XanGo juice is supposed to be made from whole mangosteen fruits, then it claims to have been able to retain the xanthones originally found in fresh mangosteen fruits.
