Exotic superfruits, such as the mangosteen, are gaining attention for their nutritional properties. Previously limited in availability in the U.S. due to agricultural regulations, these sensational fruits are now in several products.
Coveted for its taste and potential health benefits, the mango-steen is the size of a peach with a dark purple rind and white center. It's home to powerful phytonutrients known as xanthones and flavonoids, and appreciated for its antioxidant benefits. Research shows xanthones may help boost immune-system health, promote joint flexibility and maintain intestinal health and regularity.
Nutrition experts advise consumers interested in mangosteen benefits to purchase products that offer the whole mangosteen fruit-and its nutrients-as nature intended.
Studies show most of the fruit's xanthones and flavonoids are found in the rind or skin of the fruit, as well as the sweet-tasting pulp. Many mangosteen drinks use powders, extracts or select parts, compromising many of the fruit's key nutrients.
One, XanGo? Juice, delivers the nutritional benefits of the entire mangosteen-both the pulp and the rind-through a proprietary whole fruit formula.
The market leader of mangosteen products, XanGo Juice purees the whole fresh mangosteen, offering over 40 xanthones in its delicious juice.
