Mangosteen -- The Queen of Fruit |
|||||||
| Although almost unheard of in the temperate zones of North America and Europe, mangosteen is so prized by inhabitants of tropical rain forests that it is universally known as the Queen of Fruits. In Southeast Asia, where the mangosteen is predominantly grown, the people value this exceptional fruit for its premium taste and heavenly flavor. Although readily available in season throughout Southeast Asia, until now the mangosteen fruit in its whole form has never been commercially available in North America. Properties of Mangosteen
The Science Behind the Product Rarely has a fruit that has been so
unknown "The body's immune and other systems produce homemade antioxidants and some vitamins, such as E and C. But there exists other antioxidants even more potent than vitamins, and these powerful protective substances are only found in certain plants," writes Fred Templeman, M.D. "One such class of substances called Xanthones has recently been identified by scientists in a rain forest plant... the Mangosteen." Doctor Templeman continues, "Our secondary research has unearthed over forty scientific papers in which biochemically active components of the Mangosteen have been rigorously examined in the laboratory... It is already evident that the multiple health benefits of the fruit are supported by scientific investigation." For centuries, the people of Southeast Asia have known all about those "multiple health benefits." Now science supports what they've known all along. The ancient wisdom of Southeast Asia. The certainty of modern science.
What is XanGo™? XanGo™ was created from two words: Xanthones and Mangosteen. And while this name represents the origin of the beverage, it also represents much more to the people who enjoy it. The first dietary supplement of its kind, with its distinctive, eye-catching logo, XanGo is readily identified as a true category creator. The XanGo brand will come to symbolize the best in scientific research and the most trustworthy in delivering nutritional benefits.
A Family of Powerful Phytonutrients While most people know about the antioxidant benefits of Vitamins C and E, far fewer are aware of the potent antioxidant power of xanthones. Xanthones are natural chemical substances that have recently won high praise from numerous scientists and researchers. Xanthones have been studied for their medicinal potential, since they demonstrate a number of pharmaceutical properties: - Supports microbiological
balance What's remarkable is that the mangosteen - not just the inner flesh, but the whole fruit - represents the single greatest known supply of these tremendously beneficial xanthones.
