NZS Xango-fied!

Xango is a dietary health supplement. It the only whole mangosteen juice currently available. Mangosteen, or Garcina mangostana, is a tropical fruit of the size of an apple. It has a thick rind and hard seeds and is grown in countries such as Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines.

The fruit is rich in vitamins such as B1 and B2 and contains minerals like potassium and iron. However, the standout feature of this fruit is the presence of a high concentration of antioxidants called xanthones.

Historically, mangosteen has been used for centuries in the traditional Chinese and ayurvedic medicine systems prevalent in South-east Asia as a remedy for skin and gum diseases, parasites, wounds, burns, as an anti-depressant, cure for fatigue and fevers, etc.

The rind, seeds, and the flesh are used to prepare the juice, which is credited with having anti-aging, anti-allergen, and antibiotic properties. The key to the health giving properties of mangosteen juice is xanthones. They serve an important purpose by fighting free radicals. Free radicals seek to attain atomic stability by acquiring an electron from the cells in the human body; causing irreversible oxidation of the cells. Xanthones have an antioxidant effect and they counter the harmful effects of free radicals thus protecting biological cells.

Xanthones offer benefits such as:

Supporting microbiological balance

Promoting cell growth

Regulating cholesterol

Boosting the immune system

Promoting suppleness of joints

Fighting mental fatigue

Controlling the actions of histamines

Anti-carcinogenic agent

Fungicide and bactericide

The xanthones contained in mangosteen are strongly anti-carcinogenic and according to a recent study, Garcinone E, which is a xanthone, is useful in cases of cancers of the stomach, lungs, and liver. Of the more than 200 known xanthones that are found in nature, more than 40 are found in mangosteen alone. Mangosteen juice, which contains all the goodness of xanthone, is found to be efficacious in the treatment of asthma, arthritis, fibromyalgia, mouth ulcers, problems of the gastro-intestinal tract, and others.

Mangosteen is a fruit of the tropical climes and is not readily available everywhere; mangosteen juice is an equally effective alternative that is readily available and is packed with the goodness of xanthones. The recommended daily dosage is 1-3 ounces.

Xango may contain some additional juices of fruits such as pears, apples, grapes, and cranberries in order to counter the bitterness of the pericarp of the mangosteen, which is used in the final product.

Xango is the only product to use the whole mangosteen to produce the juice.
