So What's The Deal With Xango Mangosteen Juice and Xanthones?
Odds are good that you have either heard of Xango, or had a Xango independent distributor spin the health benefits of Xango and how you can own your own business selling Xango through them.
The question is, "Is mangosteen juice good for you, and is Xango the best mangosteen product on the market?
To answer the first question, YES. Mangosteen is an excellent antioxidant and a healthy juice. Working as a nutritional consultant, I do hear plenty of good things about the results of Mangosteen juice from my clients.
Mangosteen juice has over 40 different kinds of Xanthones found naturally in it. Xanthones are a rare and powerful kind of antioxidant. People also report feeling anti-inflammatory effects from drinking mangosteen juice.
To answer the second question, NO. Xango does contain some mangosteen juice, but it is also cut with several other juices. I don't know about you, but if I am going to pay $29-$39 or more for a small bottle of juice, I know I would want to know that what I am buying is the real deal and not something that is watered down with other juices.
You still will get some health benefits from drinking Xango, but I believe that you would be better off drinking a 100% pure mangosteen juice from a company like Genesis Today.
It is my opinion that if you want to try mangosteen juice, you should either visit your local health food store, or go to a trusted online store and find a 100% pure mangosteen juice to supplement.
Is Xango Another Pyramid Scheme?
After extensive research corroborated by MLM company reports, "5 Red Flags" have been identified which when found in a compensation plan lead to losses in excess of 99% - in at least four independent investigations.Take this test for yourself to see if Xango is a pyramid scheme.

@CharlesMangosteen - You sound like someone who has been brainwashed by the Xango cult. You are repeating verbatim exactly what you upline tells you to say. Think for yourself and reconsider ripping people off and feeding them lies for an overpriced product.

"The interesting thing about MLM pyramid businesses is that someone lower in the corporate structure can earn a greater income than the people above." But how many do? This is just used as bait to attract new victims.

Mangosteen juice is awesome. Xango is a good juice, but very overpriced and it is watered down with other juices thats a fact. As far as Xango being a pyramid, I guess it is all in your perspective. If you don't like getting bothered by Xango distributes and buying an overpriced MLM product than it is. If you are selling Xango, making money by pushing products on your family and friends than it is a good legitimate business.

The whole "every business is a pyramid" is a defense tool taught to MLM affiliates. Rarely can a MLMer come up with a thought that their upline didn't teach them to say.

Not at all, It's just a group of people selling a juice.
James says:
i guess if you're a corporation owning whore, you'll say that MLM is bad. It's legit and great business to keep the money out of the hands out of the Big Corporations. It's For the people, by the people. You have a choice: If you don't like it, don't buy it..........enjoy your cancer.

Nope but if you go thru your survey with the company you work at it would be considered a scheme to. Ask yourself this will you ever make as much as your boss at your current job. Nope and the definition of an illegal pyramid is that "If the people at the bottom can not make more than the people at the top it is an illegal pyramid." Think about where you work do they not advertise to get people in the store send out sales man to RECRUIT more business come on people who made up that survey what a joke it is saying every business in the us is a SCHEME. I hope nobody takes that survey seriously and if you do I have a ocean front property for sale in Arizona email me at newfoundation_4@msn.com and make me an offer.

All of these super juices work on one leval or another. Most Americans don't get there fruit. So, when they finnaly get there daily fruit intake they feel great! But, they all fall short in the vitamins and minerals range of health.

This looks as a site from a guy working with the competition (A good article indeed). lol. I've tried Xango and the flavor is grate compared to other products. I've done my network and I get the juice totally free!!! I mean, i prefer Xango for free than another product with aweful taste for any amount of money. Maybe at the begining the cost is a little hight but then u also get money back, and a lot! In fact u only spent 140 dls aprox one time, u resell the 3 bottles left and get ur's for free, if anyone else wants it the same way, they enter the network and do the same. Finaly u get the product for no money. Non of the other companies does that! If any of u do some math, will see that u'll be paying more money for any other product than Xango, unless the other product its on a MLM scheme (even if it is for $4). Gratz every body!

If you rate this lens, don't hate on it because you are a Xango independent distributer. Rate it fairly because the above statements are true and are not propaganda.

- Is this a nutritional lens or a rant against MLM? Consider looking up pyramid scheme on a government website.

- OK - on the whole pyramid issue. Many people despise MLM and many people love it. Interesting. People base their own opinions on all kinds of things and once someone has formed an opinion, it is usually difficult to adjust it. What really stands out is how a vast majority of people who now love MLM used to hate it. The reason is that every industry has people in it that are not qualified to be there. There are sleezy hotels and there are nice hotels. There are bad waiters and there are great waiters. Etc.
When someone has an interaction with a Professional Networker, they do not feel sold or pressured, they feel enlightened and liberated. PEOPLE make the difference. The industry is big, stable and growing. If someone really wants the truth, there are places to find it. Try www.FirstClassMLM.com. (no solicitation) If someone wants to hang on to their current way of thinking is is not open to exploring other viewpoints, they have that right.

- Check out the Wikipedia definition of mangosteen. Pay close attention to the section on "Nutrient content and antioxidant strength". You will notice that the inside fruit part of the mangosteen fruit carries very little nutritional value. If you have ever actually tasted the fresh mangsoteen rind, you will be 100% sure that there is very little of that skin in any juice claiming to be mangosteen and nothing else.
The problem with many mangosteen juice supplements is the same problem that has now been verified with aloe vera. These companies piggy-back on health results created by higher quality products and when people do not see good results, the conclude that the plant does not live up to the hype. This is bad for the entire natural health industry. It is almost always better to pay a little more than you plan than a little less than you should. Quality always beats price in the long run. Value is what people should demand.

- I just joined Xango, not to make money, but because I really like the juice. I was not at all pressured into joining. Some of us have our own minds and are not afraid to say "no." I did my research on mangosteen & Xango before joining. I worked in a business office for another company like this & cut the checks for the homebased business owners. They actually made a lot & I say a lot of money, some over $40,000 per month (not selling materials either). I no longer work there & have not joined their business, as I found the initail investment was a little too high. I do believe in their B12 product and still take it.
I do believe and have experienced A LOT of scams out there. Make sure you do the research and learn to say no!
By the way, can this Mangosteen 100 claim to be "whole fruit?"

- Jason, I do wish you the best of luck with Xango and it is a bus model that can be profitable. But, IMHO it is not for me and I would warn any friend about the amount of money they can waste and about how their friends and family will resent your trying to sell them an overpriced health drink.

- I have been involved in a MLM bus. I learned a lot and it was a good business school. I do not regret it. But after bugging enough people I found it was not the bus for me. Most MLM people really make their money selling educational materials, CD's and pamphlets to their downline at inflated prices

- Sure Kiyosoki made money with his velcro wallet, but now, he makes the vast majority of his money selling his books convincing people to go into debt in MLM schemes. MLM companies quote him like he is a god. While Trump is rich, he has gone bankrupt how many times?

- Have you ever even been a part of the MLM industry or just someone on the outside making decisions based on opinion and not facts. Mangosteen 100 is a pyramid. The owner will always make more money than his employees, where in XanGo anyone can make more money than those who joined before them.

- Boy are you living in the past. I know what a pyramid is and XanGo is not one. If you don't believe me just ask Robert Kiyosaki and or Trump. Two of our greatest financial minds, who both endorse MLM. Robert is a member of XanGo too. Again if it wasn't for XanGo, Mangosteen 100 would not exist.

- With Xango reps, they pressure you into signing up as an independent dist. You are basically promised to make money with residual incomes selling Xango, but you have to Buy X amount for yourself each month.The vast majority do not make any money and end up paying too much for their mangosteen juice.
