Frequesntly Asked Questions About Mangosteen
1. What is Mangosteen? The mangosteen (Garcinia Mangostana) is a tropical fruit considered to be one of the finest tasting fruits in the world and has earned the popular title "the Queen of Fruit." The mangosteen tree is found predominantly in Southeast Asia in countries like Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand. The fruit itself comes to harvest just 2 times each year and consists of a thick dark purple, smooth rind (pericarp) on the outside, with 4 to 8 triangular segments of snow-white, soft flesh, on the inside. Mangosteen has been used for thousands of years by millions of people worldwide to control pain, protect against disease, increase energy, as a natural anti-inflammatory, to reduce fever and for a whole host of other medicinal uses.

2. What benefits does the mangosteen fruit provide? 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.

3. If the mangosteen fruit is so beneficial, why have we never heard of it before? If the mangosteen fruit is so beneficial, why have we never heard of it before? Mangosteen is unknown in the US because of its required ultra-tropical growing conditions. One of the few places it does grow in the states is in Hawaii, where it is very expensive. Occasionally gift companies will ship frozen mangosteen in for use in exotic gift baskets. These companies charge a premium price for the fruit. Also, unlike most fruits that are harvested several times a year, mangosteen is available only 2 times each year, making it more expensive and more difficult to come by.

4. What part of the mangosteen fruit is used for medicinal purposes? The mangosteen fruit possesses the following three components: the pericarp (rind), seeds, and the pulp (sweet inner fruit). Xanthones and polysaccharides (the medicinally active ingredients) are concentrated in the pericarp of the mangosteen fruit. The xanthones and polysaccharides are found in the pulp but in lower concentrations. For this reason, the pericarp is a very important part of the preparation. There have been over 40 xanthones identified in the pericarp, representing 25% of all known xanthones.

5. What are Xanthones? Xanthones are a class of plant derived nutrients or "phytonutrients." They have been demonstrated in numerous scientific studies to hold tremendous nutritional value. Found to exhibit strong antioxidant activity xanthones disarm free radicals in the body and enhance and support your body's immune system. Although xanthones exist in small amounts throughout nature, they are found in concentrated amounts in the pericarp of the mangosteen fruit. There are over 40 known forms of xanthones naturally occurring in the pericarp, the two most widely studied are Alpha Mangostin and Gamma Mangostin.

8. Does the world need another phytonutrient? Absolutely! The science of nutritional supplements is still very young. New studies are constantly being released leading us to better solutions to today's health concerns. More and more science continues to surface about xanthones and their incredible benefits to the human body and their ability to support a wide variety of health concerns. Every industry from automobiles to computers constantly creates better ways to improve upon their products. Xanthones represent the very latest that nutritional science has to offer. Much more than a great antioxidant, xanthones are a class of multi-functional phytonutrients poised to raise the bar in the nutritional arena!

9. What makes xanthones from mangosteen so special? What is amazing is that the Mangosteen (which, by the way, has no connection with the mango), has never been utilized for its multiple health benefits in North America or Europe despite its history and popularity as a folk remedy in Asia and South America. Until recently, it has been one of Nature's best kept secrets. For centuries the traditional medical healers of India, China, Malaysia, Thailand the Philippines and Vietnam have employed Mangosteen for its health benefits. In the last 150 years the plant has been transported to Africa, the Caribbean, Australia and South America where both researchers and medical practitioners alike have studied and utilized its healing and protective properties.

13. What is network marketing? Network marketing is a proven method of distributing products whereby companies, instead of paying advertisers and conventional distribution systems to promote their products, pay individual distributors, like you, commissions based on how much product your organization markets. Ultimately, network marketing is about a lot of people personally using a little product and sharing the product and their success with others. It is a way to reward participants commensurate with their individual efforts and for the efforts of others in their network. It allows everyone to participate at their own level of desire and commitment. It allows distribution costs formerly paid to business distributors at various levels to be paid to individuals who assume the distribution function. Network marketing is a huge, multi-billion dollar a year industry and it is growing more in size and acceptance every year.
