Phytonutrients Abundantly Available in the Mangosteen
With the accumulated
knowledge
of ancient
Asian medicine,
which was passed
on to European
explorers and
settlers, it's no
wonder
that so
much modern
research has been
conducted on the
Mangosteen and its beneficial properties.
An enormous
amount of modern study and research has been channeled toward unlocking the secrets of this remarkable fruit.
In fact, scientists
have actually identified the major compounds found in the Mangosteen that are responsible for its healthful
characteristics.
Free Radicals & Antioxidants
These days,
everybody knows about free radicals
and antioxidants.
Free
radicals attack the cells in our bodies every second of every day, and antioxidants work to the repair the damage.
Much has
been made of the extensive antioxidant properties of vitamins, especially Vitamin C and Vitamin E....
But
did you know that there exists an antioxidant that is even more powerful than any vitamin?
This powerful,
life-enhancing substance is called Xanthone. In fact, there is a whole family of Xanthones, and the most
dynamic of these are found in the amazing whole fruit Mangosteen.
While
most people know about the antioxidant benefits of Vitamins C and E, far fewer are aware of the incredibly potent
antioxidant power of Xanthones.
Xanthones
are natural chemical substances that have recently won high praise from numerous scientists and
researchers. Xanthones have been studied for their medicinal potential, since they
demonstrate a number of pharmaceutical properties.
The Research on Xanthones
from Mangosteen
Xanthones have been the subject of intense research
for several decades. They are found in a select number of
rain forest plants, but nowhere are they found in more abundance that in the pericarp, or rind,
of the Mangosteen fruit. This smooth, purple covering that was ground with ancient mortars and used
to heal infection turns out to be the MOTHERLODE of beneficial Xanthones.
The two
most beneficial Xanthones found in the Mangosteen have been named Alpha Mangostin and Gamma Mangostin.
When isolated and thoroughly tested by researchers, these two Xanthones have been found to carry a host of benefits.
According
to professional journals such as Free Radical Research, Journal of Pharmacology,
and the Indian Journal of Experimental Biology, these Xanthones have a remarkable effect on cardiovascular
health; are naturally antibiotic, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory; and are some of the most powerful antioxidants
to be found in nature.
