A Delicious Dietary Supplement

To support the discovery and development of a singular dietary supplement with sensational taste, the founders of
XanGo referenced decades of mangosteen studies. From ancient beliefs to modern research, the whole mangosteen fruit
is regarded for its antioxidant powers and health-enriching attributes.
Dozens of studies demonstrate the incredibly beneficial properties of the whole mangosteen fruit. Research shows
that xanthones—as found in the whole fruit formula of mangosteen Juice—may help:
sustain a healthy cardiovascular system* support cartilage and joint function* strengthen the immune system* promote a healthy seasonal respiratory system* maintain intestinal health* neutralize free radicals* To read more about mangosteen research, studies and history please visit

Modern Science
Modern science is only now beginning to understand and explain why the rind of the mangosteen fruit has been so
revered for centuries. However, we know this: to benefit from the complete power and nutritional impact of the
mangosteen fruit, it should be consumed just as it has been for more than a thousand years—in its whole fruit form.
As early as 1933, studies were conducted to compare the whole fruit to single compound extracts taken from the rind.
In 1933, Caius and Mhaskar found that the whole fruit offered more than 60% success rates in boosting and restoring
intestinal health. In short, consumption of the whole mangosteen rind delivers benefits far superior to chemical
extracts from that same rind.
On-going research continues to find valuable properties and several active phytochemicals have already been
identified in the fruit, including:
39 different xanthones – These powerful phytonutrients demonstrate unique and valuable health properties. catechins – The mangosteen rind has been shown to have the same level of this active ingredient as found in green
tea. proanthocyanidins – The same benefit touted in grapeseed extract, proanthocyanidins are found in efficacious amounts
in the whole mangosteen fruit. While scientific researchers are still working to demonstrate how these phytochemicals work together
synergistically, the phytonutrients found in the whole fruit are among the most studied, touted and beneficial in
existence today. This much is certain: extracts can never match the incredible spectrum of benefits available in the
honored mangosteen fruit.

History & Tradition--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Having originated in Southeast Asia, the whole mangosteen fruit has been revered for its taste, but also for its
healing properties. Historically, the whole fruit was used to treat people both topically and internally. This was
done by either grinding the rind down and applying it directly to the skin or steeping it in water overnight and
then drinking the resulting mangosteen tea. It has been used to restore intestinal health for centuries, as well as
treat other infections.
Documented internal and external use:
In the book Fruits of Warm Climates, Dr. Morton calls particular attention to the importance of mangosteen rind in
traditional preparations. She recorded that the mangosteen rind was sliced, dried, powdered and then administered.
Often times it was first made into an ointment and then applied topically on skin disorders. Additionally, she
states "the rind decoction is applied externally as an astringent lotion." Dr. Morton also makes mention of internal
uses of the rind. "A portion of the rind is steeped in water overnight and the infusion given as a remedy."
On May 26, 1885 The Illustrated London News reported that "Dr Garcin says the mangosteen is the only fruit which
sick people are allowed to eat unsparingly; it is given with safety in almost every disorder."
