-- Does the product consist of the
whole-fruit puree of the mangosteen? This distinction is important. The greatest concentration of beneficial
xanthones is found in the pericarp (the thick outer peel of the fruit) - not just the pulp - of
this extraordinary fruit. Each time you drink properly manufactured
whole fruit mangosteen juice, you get over 40 xanthones, each bringing unique benefits to your body. The
product you choose should deliver all these xanthones, in order to maximize their potential effect.
