If you are one of those who likes to dig deeper, this post is for you. Although I feel it is better if you do your own research I give you a specific link were you can find information about the mangosteen and its Xanthones.

Some Mangosteen News
Much has been made over the recent scientific studies completed on the mangosteen fruit.
One of the leading mangosteen researchers (Professor Nakatani from Japan) was recently recruited by Pfizer Inc. Pfizer secured Nakatani's research under a non-disclosure agreement and he may no longer discuss his research on the mangosteen.
Why would the world's fastest-growing major pharmaceutical company, the one Fortune® magazine ranked #14 on it's list of "World's Most Admired Companies," be so interested in the mangosteen fruit? Maybe there is something to the mangosteen and what it holds!
Some Keywords to Research on:
Xanthones
Gamma Mangostin (one xanthone in Mangosteen)
Mangosteen
Garcinia Mangostana (scientific name)
Other Mangosteen Ingredients
The research on Mangosteen & Xanthones is astounding. What's more, the fact that the world is just finding out about this gift from nature, means that we are very lucky to be hearing about this fruit now.
But Xanthones are not the only great component of the mangosteen fruit. There are other ingredients which have their own set of benefits. It is also known to have: Vitamins C, B1, B1, Protein, Iron, Calcium Fiber, Potassium, Phosphorus, Sodium, Niacin, and Polyphenols, Cathechins/tannins, Flavonoids.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Polyphenols - These are a group of plant chemical substances. They are considered to be strong antioxidants in their own right. You've probably heard of some of the other things with high polyphenols - pomegranates, green teas and extra virgin olive oil.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flavonoids - there have been over 5,000 naturally occurring flavonoids identified in various plants. Quite often, the benefits associated with plant foods actually come from the flavonoids instead of other known nutrients.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Catechins - Usually associated with Flavonoids.
Hopefully you've found plenty to research on. We'd love to give you specific links, but hopefully now you'll have a number of ideas for what to search for and investigate on your own. It will be interesting to hear about what you find.
