What do you know about the Mangosteen fruit and Xanthones?!
Question: What do you know about the Mangosteen fruit and Xanthones.?
I'm a chiropractor and I have a patient that has been taking a product call "Xango". Its a juice made from the mangosteen fruit, which I believe is indigenous to certain parts of Asia. It contains Xanthones, which I just found out was the most powerful antioxidant in the world. This product has supposedly done wonders from people suffering from a number of ailments including RA, high BP and fibromyalgia. hundreds of MDs and D.C swear by it. Are you familiar.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Yep, you pretty much covered it. Mangosteen is grown in parts of Asia, has Xanthones (which are great antioxidants), the antioxidant support helps to protect the cells from all sorts of troubles.
As far as the Xango, it is basically just like any other Mangosteen juice... just some different "other fruits" for flavoring and likely more than twice the price as the others (you seldom taste a lot of the Mangosteen itself). That being said, Mangosteen in general is very beneficial for overall health, and we have hundreds of customers that buy various Mangosteen products.
Most Multi-Level Marketing companies jack the price way up to pay for all the people that were hired above the person that sells it to you, not to mention all their advertising. It's best to do the research before buying anything that expensive.

Mangosteen is a tropical fruit that is touted to have all sorts of magical healing properties and as you say, be the most powerful antioxidant ever discovered.
The role of antioxidants at the level of consumption by humans has actually NEVER been demonstrated. The entire idea of antioxidants being beneficial for health is purely speculative based on in vitro studies (test tubes). There are no animal studies that support the use either.
It is just a fruit. Antioxidants (whether or not they even work at all) quickly degrade after any fruit is harvested and even more when it is processed.Health Question & Answer

Health is multifactorial and maintaining it is very complicated.
These products come up frequently and they never are what they are promised because, 1 thing cannot control a whole cascade of chemical reactions that occur in an organism as complicated as we are so completely.
This way of thinking is no different from the Allopathic reductionist model just using a different chemical.
People might improve after taking this product but more than likely because it is the final piece of the jigsaw puzzle than anything else.
I don't have an opinion about the efficacy of Antioxidants. I don't know enough about the subject.Health Question & Answer

Mangosteens come from Thailand and they heal just about everything but it is rare to find them because they are illegal to grow in the US.Health Question & Answer
