Mangosteen Powder is a shining example of superfood purity and potency. Mangosteen is a powerful source of antioxidants and is a top, natural anti-inflammatory. It has been called the “Queen of fruits” and for centuries the peoples of Southeast Asia have used it to treat everything from skin conditions to dysentery and malaria.
In more recent years, health-care practitioners have explored the use of mangosteen to treat arthritis, diabetes, bacterial, fungal and viral infections, asthma, atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), sleep disorders, and much more (see full list below).
Mangosteen contains an impressive array of vitamins and minerals but the most exciting components are a group of compounds called Xanthones (pronounced ZAN-thõnz) which are found in the rind of the fruit.
The Process
The drying and powdering process used to create Mangosteen Powder has been specially designed to maximize and maintain the potency of the Xanthones for maximum efficacy. This process is also achieved without the use fillers, preservatives, or artificial colors or flavoring:
NO MALTODEXTRIN
NO SILICON DIOXIDE
NO VEGETABLE STEARATE
NO RICE FLOUR
This is just pure, micronized, antioxidant and nutrient rich Mangosteen Powder.
Our mangosteen is sustainably-grown, without the use of pesticides, under carefully managed conditions in Thailand. This is the product of 3+ years of laboratory analysis and research.
Xanthones
Xanthones are the power behind mangosteen. They are a class of compounds which include alpha-mangostin, beta-mangostin, gamma-mangostin, garcinone B, garcinone E, mangostinone, tannins and a flavonoid called epicatechin. Xanthones have powerful antioxidant properties which help to protect the body from free radical damage.
Best Value
You would have to buy multiple bottles of capsulated mangosteen products to match our 100 gram bag. And even then you may be getting a low grade product along with fillers and preservatives. For example: if you purchased a bottle with 60, 500 milligram capsules would only get you 30 grams of mangosteen. This is a 100 gram bag. And you can rest assured that our high quality mangosteen has been processed at low temperatures to preserve nutritional integrity.
