Mangosteen Facts

Mangosteen is a small and very slow-growing tropical evergreen tree. The height of the tree attains 20 to 82 feet. The length of its leaves is up to 10 inches. The width of its flowers is 1½ to 2 inches. And maybe male or hermaphrodite is on the same tree. Mangosteen is native to South East Asia and requires a year round, warm, very humid, equatorial climate. Many people have tried to plant mangosteen in other places, such as California, Florida, or special greenhouses somewhere outside South East Asia. They haven't succeeded because of different climatic conditions. The tree can only grow well in tropical areas and requires abundant moisture. Thailand or Burma are the original places where people discovered the mangosteen tree.

The mangosteen fruit consists of the following parts:

Pericarp (rind or peel) - the half-centimeter pericarp is green unripe and dark purple when ripe. It contains the highest concentrations of xanthones in the entire fruit.

Pulp (fruit) - the fleshy interior that is responsible for its reputation as the best tasting fruit in the world.

Seeds - usually one to two in number within the pulp. The mangosteen fruit has been used for centuries as a folk-lore medicine.

Research laboratories around the world have now been helping us understand how the mangosteen fruit works. Modern science is just catching up with what centuries of herbal doctors have already known.

Xanthone Research

Xanthones are a unique biologically "active" compound. Active means they couple with other molecules and become very beneficial to the systems of the body. Xanthones enter the cell wall with antioxidants and can even kill intracellular bacteria before it has a chance to affect the cell's DNA.

Mangosteen Fruit Xanthones Information

The primary plant growing area for the healthful mangosteen fruit is in Southeast Asia. Commercial growing of the mangosteen tree has not been largely successful in other climates of the world. In recent years modern scientists have been studying the mangosteen xanthones and each xanthone in attempts to discover and document the scientific evidence and research of exactly why people get beneficial health results from the mangosteen botanical. In addition, modern pharmaceutical manufacturers are studying the Xanthone compounds found in mangosteen xanthones. Xanthones are natural chemical substances that demonstrate a number of pharmaceutical properties.

With 210 known xanthones in nature,
over 40 have been discovered in mangosteen fruit.

Xanthones, highly active plant phenols found in a limited number of plants, are among the most powerful antioxidants known to science. Scientific research has found over 40 out of 210 known xanthones in the pericarp of the mangosteen fruit. What's remarkable is that it's not just the inner flesh of the mangosteen, but the whole fruit, that represents the single greatest known supply of these tremendously beneficial xanthones found anywhere in nature. The outer rind "pericarp" of the fruit contains powerful Xanthones and antioxidants which are good for the entire body.

In North America, there is a new "X-factor" emerging when it comes to antioxidant protection. That new "X-factor" is xanthones. Xanthones work at the cellular level as an extremely powerful and effective antioxidant. Why haven't you heard about this important nutritional discovery until now? One reason is that the most abundant known source of xanthones is the mangosteen fruit and particularly its outer pericarp (rind) from South East Asia. It hasn't been until recently that the concentrated juice of the mangosteen fruit has been allowed into the United States by the USDA. Mangosteen may be new to you, but people from South East Asia and South America have benefited from its medicinal uses for centuries. Now we can, too.

What is amazing is that with centuries of healing and medicinal uses, the benefits of the mangosteen fruit have never been tapped in the western world, until now. Clinical data and scientific studies now support and explain many of the medicinal and health benefits. In fact, never has a health supplement been introduced in the western world with so much data and so many scientific studies behind it.

With no negative side effects found in the mangosteen fruit botanical (garcinia mangostana) it is a perfect source in a beneficial healthful natural health supplement.

Xanthones: alpha-Mangostin; Garcinone A; beta-Mangostin; Garcinone B; 3-Isomangostin; Garcinone C; Mangostanol; Garcinone D; Maclurin; Garcinone E. Mangosteen also contains natural Catechins and polyphenols, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, iron, Vitamin B1, B2, B6, and C.
