The Many Health Benefits of Mangosteen Fruit

The mangosteen fruit has many health benefits and has been nicknamed "the queen of fruits" due to its delicious taste.

Over the years a lot of research has been done on the mangosteen fruit which has shown the various health benefits of this remarkable fruit. It contains a large amount of xanthones, which are very powerful antioxidants. There is a whole family of this antioxidant, and the most dynamic of these are found in the mangosteen. Xanthones are found in a few rain forest plants, but they are for the most part found in the mangosteen fruit, and over 40 have been identified.

Antioxidants are protection from free radicals that we are exposed to daily. No matter how healthy a lifestyle we live, we are still exposed to free radicals from air, water and food chemicals. They also can be a result of infection and inflammation. Since we can't avoid them taking antioxidants each day can help protect us from the ill effects they can cause. It is for this reason that many healthy people take supplements, including mangosteen each day. It's far easier to address health challenges before they begin, with prevention, rather than after they have become apparent.

Mangosteen juice has become quite popular since it was first introduced in North America several years ago. When looking for a mangsoteen supplement it is important to get the whole fruit as it is in the rind where most of the health benefits are found. It's also a good idea to check labels as some juices have water as their primary ingredient, or many contain sugar or other unnecessary additives.

Mangosteen juice is a health supplement a person can take each day without any adverse side effects, and because it is a food it is safe for young children as well, although it is always suggested you consult with a doctor if you have any allergies or medical condition.

Because most of the health benefits from mangosteen fruit are found in the rind, it's very important to have the whole fruit in any juice supplement. The mangosteen juice by XanGo is the original mangosteen juice which uses the whole fruit puree, unlike other juices on the market today.

I've been taking the mangosteen juice by XanGo for three years now and would not be without it.
