Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) Science


The mangosteen fruit has been used for centuries by native peoples in the areas where it grows naturally. Much research has been done recently searching for answers as to whether mangosteen really is as great as it is supposed to be, and guess what? It is!!!

Lots of people talk about ORAC values (this is the quantity of antioxidants that are in a thing). But, it's not always only about the ORAC values, but also about the other constituents. The fact is that every natural plant has a long list of valuable constituents that work together to give the effect of that particular plant. And while ORAC values are very important (after all, don't we want to have free radicals (those are like poisons) floating around in our bodies, do we), but they are not everything.

Mangosteen fruit, including the rind and stem, have many incredible, indeed, miraculous constituents, including Xanthones (amazing plant chemicals that are responsible for helping keep our bodies super healthy) and more.

Check out these amazing studies!
