The mangosteen fruit is native to the Southeast Asian countries (i.e. Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Indonesia). Nicknamed "The Queen of Fruits" by many, the mangosteen has been revered for centuries in folk medicine for its ability to help with infections, fatigue, skin conditions and many other different diseases.

The phytoceuticals (plant chemicals) of the mangosteen have been widely studied, but none as much as the class of highly active substances called Xanthones.

Science has discovered these xanthones to be a much more powerful antioxidant than those found in vitamins. Xanthones are also known as "adaptagens" for their unique ability to modulate and assist the body in many areas.

Science has identified approximately 200 different naturally occurring xanthones. The mangosteen fruit ALONE has over 40!  In addition, mangosteen has some of the most potent xanthones studied to date. No other fruit even comes close!

The main Xanthones in Mangosteen are as follows-

Name：Alpha Mangostin

Formula：C24H26O6

A number of herbs and plants contain some xanthones, but none as robust in quantity and vibrancy as the mangosteen. St. John's Wort and Garcinia Cambogia contain 1 and 2 xanthones, respectively.

In 2000, a pharmacological study from a European university  indicated the following pharmaceutical properties in naturally occurring Xanthones:

• Antioxidant protection against free radicals
• Maintains immune system health
• Promotes joint flexibility
• Provides positive mental support
• Reduces allergies
• Reduces joint inflammation
• Prevents cancer
• Pain control -sciatica and radicular pain syndromes
