What Is a Queen of Fruits? Mangosteen Is a Queen of Fruits!
(Queen Victoria gave knighthood to anyone who brought it to her)
The mangosteen fruit (or Garcinia mangostana, as it is known scientifically) is exotic, delicious and packed full of xanthones and other phytonutrients that demonstrate impressive
The mangosteen fruit, although well known in tropical and subtropical climates, is a relative stranger to most other countries. Given its name, the mangosteen may be easily confused as of the mango. Although the mangosteen and the mango are of the same family and grow in the same areas, these two fruits not only look different, they have a much different taste.

It is also: found mainly in Southeast Asia and other tropical regions roughly the size of a tangerine—about 2-3 inches in diameter often called the Queen of Fruits (Queen Victoria gave knighthood to anyone who brought it to her)
has a bitter, purplish rind full of xanthones and other phytonutrients
has a beautiful, white pulp with 4-8 segments of pure taste-bud bliss
Although the mangosteen has been touted for its splendid flavor, it has also been suggested that use of the whole mangosteen fruit can promote good healthwellness.
In fact, the whole mangosteen fruit—especially the xanthone-packed rind—has been utilized to treat a variety of health conditions. As early as 600 AD, scribes in Southeast Asia recorded the use of the mangosteen as a general remedy and healing agent.
The mangosteen rind was sliced and dried, then ground to a powder and administered as an herbal preparation. The mangosteen rind was steeped in water overnight and taken as a tea. The mangosteen rind was made in to an ointment and applied externally as a lotion.
It was through these popular uses that the benefits of mangosteen were passed down through history and several scientists and explorers took note.

When Europeans explored Southeast Asia folklore related to the mangosteen first spread to Western culture.
Now this delicious and beneficial fruit can be found in a category-creating beverage
About the Tree
The small dark purple fruit grows abundantly and is harvested twice a year from a small evergreen tree.
The mangosteen tree is actually in the same plant family as St. John's Wort, a recognized herbal supplement.
Short, thick and leathery evergreen leaves
Grows 20 to 80 feet tall
First fruit harvest takes place 10-20 years after planting
Average lifetime yield of full-grown tree is 500
Some trees provide ripe mangosteen fruit up to 100 years
The mangosteen tree is "ultra-tropical" and cannot tolerate temperatures below 40°F or above 100°F. All attempts to grow the trees in locations north of 20° latitude have failed.

Science & Research for Garcinia mangostana
Mangosteen contains over FORTY (40) different “Xanthones”, a POWERFUL
New class of anti – oxidants, as well as the same Catechins found in Green Tea !
Unlike other anti-oxidants, Mangosteen juice has MULTIPLE potential health
Benefits because of the 40+ Xanthones each having different properties !
Among the powerful phytonutrients found in the rind of the mangosteen, xanthones stand alone in their impressive benefits. Scientific studies suggest xanthones may promote healthy bodily function.
The early research on the whole mangosteen fruit and its numerous nutritional components is both promising and precise. Feel like digging in? Here’s a snapshot-just a small sample-of the studies that back the impressive edge of whole mangosteen formulation and supplementation. Xanthones in Mangosteen

Researchers have identified dozens of biologically active xanthones in the mangosteen fruit. Today, researchers are just beginning to uncover the powerful scientific properties behind the mangosteen fruit.
What are Xanthones? Xanthones are:
A unique class of biologically active compounds possessing numerous bioactive capabilities — such as antioxidant properties.
A restricted group of plant polyphenols, biosynthetically related to the flavonoids.
Polyphenol – a group of plant chemical substances characterized by the presence of more than one phenolic group. Polyphenols are responsible for the color of some plants and are considered strong antioxidants with potential health benefits.
Flavonoid – over 5,000 naturally occurring flavonoids have been characterized from various plants. The beneficial effects of plant-derived food are often attributed to flavonoid compounds, rather than known nutrients, as they show a wide range of biological effects.
