NOTE: This web site is for educational purposes and does not endorse or promote any specific commercial product or company. It is merely a web site sharing resources and info about mangosteen fruit and Xanthones. Mangosteen is a fruit. The xanthones from the mangosteen have been shown in laboratory studies to be powerful antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and to have other special properties. However, laboratory results do not guarantee the same will happen in the human body. Mangosteen is a supplement and not a drug; therefore, no one can say the mangosteen will cure, treat, or prevent any specific condition or symptom. The United States government, however, has determined and stated: increasing the amount of plant-based foods and supplements in our diet improves our health and decreases the incidence of chronic disease. Nothing on this site is meant to guarantee or imply you will receive any benefit from the consumption of mangosteen. Look at the available science on the mangosteen and then answer for yourself...Does mangosteen make sense for you? If you have a health challenge, be sure to always discuss it with a trained medical practitioner.
