Mangosteen is not only being used for Health Issues

Fallen leaves and fruit skin have no use for city people, but a group of villagers in Khiriwong, Nakhon Si Thammarat, seem to have found a way with the waste which they use to produce natural dyes.



Khiriwong village sits at the foot of Khao Luang mountain and is fed by a stream full of fish.

These dyes, created with local ingenuity and used for colouring clothes, blouses and accessories, have earned Tambon Kamlon, of which the village is part, a name and have been accorded OTOP (one tambon, one product) rating.

"We aim to make the most use of materials naturally available in our community," said Aree Khunthon, leader of a housewife group which has been producing natural dyes for 14 years.

The orchards of Khiriwong yield mangosteen, durian, rambutan, garcinia (som khaek), longon, mango, parkia (sataw) and other plants depending on time of year, a factor helped by good weather and fresh air that, according to the Pollution Control Department, is among the cleanest measured in the country. The village sits at the foot of Khao Luang, the highest mountain in southern Thailand.

But selling fruit alone wasn't enough to make a living, recalled Aree of the years before her group embarked on a programme to produce natural dyes to supplement their meagre income. Back then the average earning of a family was 10,000-30,000 baht earned between August and October, while it sat idled for the rest of the year.

Following a series of natural disasters starting with flooding in 1975 and 1988 and drought in 1996, the villagers decided to switch to something that would allow them stable and sustained income, and where they wouldn't have to rely soely on the weather.

After several rounds of debate and discussion, they settled on something that would make use of local ingenuity, using up to 80% of raw materials available locally and be environmentally friendly, explained Aree.

For start-up capital, the village received 25,000 baht from the Komol Keemthong Foundation. "Instead of using plastic ropes to create patterns on cloth, we use bamboo sticks, which come handy when making small patterns such as flowers and leaves, and they can also be reused," she said.




The cloth is put in a basin containing liquid dyes produced from natural materials.

The dyes themselves are made by boiling the leaves or fruit in huge enamel basins for a whole day. Dead mangosteen leaves give off orange colour while fresh ones produce pink shade; bangal almond produces yellowish-green shade; parkia pods give off grey colour; parkia pods boiled with rambutan skins produce dark grey hue; core of jackfruit produces yellow colour; leaves of peka (Oroxylum indicum) olive green; and seeds of jiringa ( nieng) brown colour.

Each piece of cloth is dyed at least three times to ensure colour does not run. The raw materials used to make the dyes are later dried to be used as cooking fuel.

Currently there are 33 families joining the programme, each earning between 3,000 to 7,000 baht a month selling cotton shirts, blouses, pants, tablecloths, bed cover sheets, pillow cases, hats, key chains and bags.

"We will keep experimenting trying to use natural materials to explore new dyes and create fresh designs," said Aree, "to ensure the products we make remain unique to our village."

Located in Lan Saka district, the village of Khiriwong, which was rated the ‘‘Best Community Attraction’’ at the Thailand Tourism Awards in 1998, offers homestay and trekking tours to Khao Luang National Park. Visitors can buy homemade mangosteen wine, soap made from mangosteen skins and various herbs, and preserved durian. August to October is high fruit season.




To get to the village, take a minibus from Talat Yao in Muang district, available between 7am-4pm.Alternatively, you can take Highway 4016 from town and drive onto Highway 4015 to Lan Saka, a distance of about 26 kilometres. The village is at Kilometre 20 marker to your right.

Mangosteen Juice. The Fruit of the Gods?

We have known for some time that anti-oxidants are good for us, that they help counteract the negative effects of free radicals. But the more scientists research this area, the more we find out that certain anti-oxidants can be exceptionally beneficial to our health.

The latest research suggests that Xanthones, a specific type of anti-oxidant, have incredible health giving qualities. Xanthones are biologically active plant phenols found in dark, red fruit and often in the nutrient rich plants of the tropical rainforests. The fruit with by far the most Xanthones is Mangosteen with 47 different types (there are about 200 different types in total), native to the South East Asian countries of Thailand and Burma.

Initially a secret shared by extreme health enthusiasts, well-informed celebrities (Kate Moss was reputed to have drunk Mangosteen juice to fend off her hangovers) and most of South East Asia, Mangosteen is now a growing phenomena in the mainstream Western health industry.

So why are Xanthones, and therefore Mangosteen, so special? The list of suggested benefits is almost limitless - everything from the general claims of more energy, better skin and anti-aging through to specific anti-viral, anti-diarrheal, anti-allergenic properties and so on. It is reputed as good for your heart, your eyes (prevents cataracts), your mind (supports against dementia) and your blood sugar (Diabetics have reported lower blood sugar levels after drinking Mangosteen).

How much any of these are proven is unlikely, but there has been much positive research into anti-oxidants in general, and Xanthones are definitely a highly active category within that, so this anecdotal evidence certainly has a strong grounding.

But there is a caveat to the miracles this fruit can perform.

Made up of 3 parts, the pericarp or rind, the pulp or fruit, and seeds, the bulk of the Xanthone content is in the pericarp which is, as you might have guessed, not the tastiest part of the fruit. Hard and bitter, many producers of Mangosteen juice choose to leave the pericarp out rather than either spoil the taste of their drink or give themselves the harder task of turning rind into juice.

But it doesn't need to be that way. As another astonishing example of how clever nature can be, Xanthones are heat stable molecules, which mean you can boil up the pericarp without damaging its content. So look out for Mangosteen Juice WITH the pericarp. If you're a Grapefruit Juice fan, choose one with nothing added. If you've got a slightly sweeter tooth, choose one that's mixed with other fruits (although be careful to ensure the main ingredient is Mangosteen).

Slow growing and native to a select region, Mangosteen juice in inevitably an expensive product. But if you believe even a sliver of the claims made about this much-admired fruit, it is money well spent. One thing is for sure - it won't do you any harm so perhaps it's worth giving it a try. At least then you might understand what all the hype is really about. And if you wake up looking like Kate Moss, please let me know!

Sports Injuries testimonial from Joe Norman

Sports Injuries testimonial
Joe Norman , formerly NFL player of the Seattle Seahawks, had painful knees for 12 years until he tried mangosteen juice. Now, he claims that he’s pain-free.

During my NFL career I had four surgeries on my left knee. I’ve had 10 more since leaving the Seattle Seahawks in 1985. I was taking 50 mg of Vioxx and tried several potent pain medications that were providing moderate relief from the chronic pain and osteoarthritis I had been suffering.

I learned about mangosteen juice and decided to try it for 90 days. I was pleasantly surprised at the great taste - I was even more impressed with the anti-inflammatory and COX-2 inhibition.

After 90 days, I was totally pain-free for the first time in 12 years! Today I am sleeping much better and I have more energy. I recommend mangosteen juice to anyone who suffers with pain.

Sports Injuries testimonial

Mark found training for the New York City marathon a breeze with the help of mangosteen juice.

My wife challenged me to run the New York City marathon with her in 2006. I couldn’t turn down a challenge, so I started training. The marathon was in November, and I would run long distances on Saturdays. I’m 6′ 3″ and 180 lbs, so my body was taking a lot of abuse. I would lay around the house on Sundays recovering because my lower back, hips and knees were so sore and inflamed.

A co-worker noticed my fatigue on a Monday and I told him why I was hurting. He asked:

“Why aren’t you drinking mangosteen juice for that?”

A few days later I had my first box of juice and within 2 weeks of drinking regularly and consistently I noticed that I wasn’t hurting nearly as much anymore. My pain was down, I had my Sundays back and I ran the marathon!

I will never go without my mangosteen juice.

XanGo, Good for Health and Wealth

Not only does XanGo™ give us the chance to share the good news about the mangosteen, but XanGo, LLC has created a referral system that can potentially earn you a supplemental income! Part-time or full-time, if you share XanGo® Juice with others you will receive on-going commissions for any XanGo® Juice purchased because of your personal recommendation.

"Is this a pyramid scheme?" This thought-provoking question is one of the first questions someone will hear when discovering a booming network marketing business like XanGo™.

Corporate America Embraces Direct Sales

In a recent issue of Fortune® magazine you'll find an interesting article focusing on the sputtering economy, and the independent contractors (distributors) who are revitalizing the US retail industry through the art of Direct Selling.

It discusses this "age of direct selling" with the emphasis on one-on-one relationships and how this industry is rapidly growing. It also discusses the low-cost of entry, so that many people are beginning their own enterprises for a minimal investment, and creating some remarkable business stories.

Just look it up -
- Fortune®, The Power Issue, Vol. 148, No. 3

Not only that but you will find a video on You Tube where former President Clinton is endorsing Direct Selling. Als Warren Buffett, Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump see the business potential with Direct Selling.

So, Is Network Marketing Really Legit?

After seeing that corporate America is quickly embracing the methods and strategies of network marketing (direct selling), it's important for many people to make the differentiation between a legitimate marketing strategy used by companies releasing legitimate products, and illegal pyramid schemes that scam innocent people.

I know every single one of us has heard at least once, "Oh, one of those pyramid things." It couldn't be further from the truth in the case of XanGo™.

To quote a government web site (Division of Consumer Protection: "Multi-level marketing companies differ from pyramid schemes because they are usually legitimate business opportunities. The sale of legitimate products is what distinguishes multi-level marketing operations from pyramids. Pyramid schemes want to make money from you, not the product sales."

This chart shows some important differences:

Pyramid Schemes

- Compensation based on recruiting
- Few or no sales to consumers
- Substantial start-up costs
- Potential to get stuck with large amounts of unsold goods
- Make money from you

VS

Multi Level Marketing

- Compensation based on sales
- Sell legislated products to established markets
- Generally start up fees
- Will buy back unsold goods if you decide to quit the business
- Make money with you

It's wonderful to know that XanGo, LLC meets every criteria for being a legitimate marketing company.

To top it off, our Chairman, Gary Hollister, is the former Chairman of the Board of the Direct Selling Association, the organization that establishes the ethics in which companies introduce products into the market.

Every member of the Corporate Team has been in the field as top level distributors and/or in top level management with BIG network marketing companies doing hundreds of millions of dollars in annual sales. This management team is taking XanGo™ where they have already gone before.

This is a company positioned for greatness. The economic climate, and the popular shift to home-based work and telecommuting has given you the chance of a lifetime to jump in on the ground floor of a company that will soon be a household name.

If you haven't caught the vision already, I don't know what else I can tell you. You've seen the information on the remarkable mangosteen, we have proof that the executives of this company know exactly what they are doing, and we have a website system and all the tools that you would need for your success. It's your choice to make the next step.

Mangosteensworld

Who Determines Your Future?

What would YOU do with an extra $500 a month? What would you do with an extra $5,000 a month? Dream big, or dream small. The point is, XanGo™ can be the vehicle to help you attain your dreams.

XanGo™ is becoming a household name and probably within the next 5 years we will have three types of people:

1) Those who made XanGo™ happen!
2) Those who watched XanGo™ happen.
3) Those who wonder, What Happened?

You can no longer be the third type. So, do you want to make it happen or watch it happen?

Why not follow the example by dreaming big, working hard and you control your future.

Antioxidant Rich Mangosteen: Tropical fruits add colour to your health

Here's an article from The New Straits Times Online that explains the reason that the antioxidant rich Mangosteen fruit contains so many antioxidants.


KUALA LUMPUR: A mangosteen a day keeps a thousand doctors away.

Well, this is an exaggeration.

But Dr Lim Ju Boo, a former senior medical researcher at the Institute of Medical Research, said the purple-coloured fruit, and also all coloured tropical fruits, are much higher in antioxidants than fruits from Western countries.

He said like mangosteen, fruits grown in tropical countries were exposed to the sun for hours, allowing them to manufacture starch, sugar and other nutrients through photosynthesis.

"To protect themselves against free radicals generated by the ultraviolet light, they manufacture thousands of antioxidants in the form of carotenoids (coloured natural plant chemicals) and phytochemicals (natural plant chemicals), which are beneficial for people."Dr Lim said in Western countries, the sunlight came in at a slant and most of the ultraviolet rays were absorbed by the thicker protective layer of the atmosphere.

"The plants in Western countries do not suffer the same intensity of damage as our tropical plants do.

"So they produce less coloured protective phytochemicals than their tropical cousins."

He was speaking at "The Therapy of Choice: Synthetic Drugs versus Botanical Medicine" seminar organised by the Malaysian Senior Scientists Association yesterday.

Dr Lim advised consumers to choose fruits and vegetables that were dark green, yellow, orange and red.

"The more colourful they are, the higher the antioxidants," he said.

Mangosteen 21 Day Challenge - 21 Day Cancer Challenge

21 Day Cancer Challenge

The Mangosteen 21 Day Challenge proposes that individuals who have critical health issues — such as end stage cancer — drink a 25 oz. (750 ml) bottle of mangosteen juice every day for 21 days.

Mangosteen Juice, along with the body's own immune and defense mechanisms, has been helpful to many in facing the challenge of cancer.

** PLUS ** drinking at least one gallon (eight 16 oz. (30ml)glasses) of pure distilled water — along with the juice, to flush the toxins from the body. Many people have been able to have dramatic effects (along with their own body's defenses) by consuming less than 1 bottle / day as used in this protocol.


Mangosteen 21 Day Challenge
The Basics

1. Drink 1 whole bottle juice (about 25 oz. or 750 ml)) PER DAY X 21 days – 8 oz.
(240 ml) 3X / day with meals

2. PLUS about a gallon (3,78 liter) of DISTILLED water.

It is essential that the recommended amount of water be consumed along with the juice. As the mangosteen juice is consumed, the cells begin to function normally to clear and release toxins into the blood stream — and these toxins must be eliminated from the body. The rule of thumb for water consumption is 1/2 ounce for every pound body weight.

For example, if you weight 100 pounds & are not active you would drink 50 ounces of water.

To make sure you are drinking all the water you need, find a large pitcher and fill it in the morning, making sure to consume all of the water before evening (refilled as necessary).

Otherwise, you will think you’ve had enough water, but in fact, that is seldom the case! (If you are unable to drink the required water, it is better to use less mangosteen juice.)


Mangosteen 21 Day Challenge
The Details

BREAKFAST
20 min before breakfast:
Drink 1/3 bottle mangosteen juice
NO distilled water consumed until right before lunch

LUNCH
30 min before lunch:
drink 1/3 gallon distilled water
10 min later
drink 1/3 bottle of mangosteen juice
20 min later
enjoy lunch!

DINNER
30 min before dinner:
drink 1/3 gallon distilled water
10 min later
drink 1/3 bottle of mangosteen juice
20 min later
enjoy dinner!

Drink the remaining 1/3 gallon distilled water spread out over the rest of the day.

I can imagine you go like WOW this is something! Ofcourse I suggest you do research too on Mangosteen and Cancer but I would also like to refer you to:

The Living Juice If you go to Written Stories and Check the C of Cancer you will find a couple of testimonials and 1 especially is talking about the 21 day challenge. Be my guest don't take everything for granted but read and research!

Testimonials Xango: Skinproblems

May 23, 2005 - Hi - My name is Evan and I'm 4 months old.

For a few months or half my life, I have battled eczema on my cheeks and jaw line (see pictures).

The Doctor prescribed a steroidal cream that my mom put on for a few weeks but it did nothing for my very itchy and sore face.

My mom thought she might share some of her Mangosteen Juice with me and since I have not been introduced to fruit, she started slowly.

On May 23, 2005 my mom started me on 5cc (1 tsp) 3 times a day. She also rubbed some on my face with a cotton ball.

After only 3 days on Mangosteen Juice, I have had remarkable results (see pictures 3 & 4).

I could not help but want to share my results with you. If you know someone that has eczema, please share my story and pictures with them.

Thanks to Mangosteen Juice, I am a much happier little boy.

A note from Grandad: My granddaughter Mariah had suffered from eczema rash on the back of her leg for over 20 years. All the potions and lotions couldn’t make it go away. After drinking 2 ounces of [Mangosteen Juice] daily, the rash was nearly gone in thirty days (picture below right). Now one year later, there is no evidence of eczema rash.

PSORIASIS

I have suffered from Psoriasis for over twenty years. It started out with small patches on the legs and then appeared on my elbows, knees, and ankles. I have used prescription ointments to try and keep it in check but have not always been successful. I should also point out that not only does it cost $85.00 USD for a tube (45 Grams) but the ointment also contain Steroids and I have always been a little concerned with that fact. Then last year Psoriasis flared up on my face in a real bad way. So now my prescription costs me about $170.00 per month (two Applications daily) not to mention the discomfort (greasy) from the ointment it self. After being on Mangosteen juice (4oz) per day for 3 weeks I noticed that my face was clearing up. I didn't think too much about it except that I wasn't going to have to apply the ointment again until the next flare up. I still had the problem with the elbows and in speaking with one of my friends we discussed the subject of Psoriasis, and, as it turns out, he also has the same skin condition. He suggested that I apply Mangosteen directly to the area and wrap saran wrap around the elbow so that the Mangosteen wouldn't rub off on my sheets at night. I did try this and low and behold the next day all the flaking was gone but there still was redness in the area, so I did it again for two more nights. The result; the Psoriasis has completely disappeared. I now take 6 oz of Mangosteen per day and I have very little sign of Psoriasis anywhere on my body.

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!

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.

Picking The Best Mangosteen Juice Available!

Picking the Best Mangosteen Juice

Sometimes there are things that can go practically unnoticed and undiscovered for a long time. Until one day, some catalyst wakes up the world and suddenly it's everywhere?

That phenomenon is just now beginning to happen with the mangosteen. Although it has been used for centuries in folklore medicine, only recently has this incredible fruit been starting to hit the mainstream - and awareness and knowledge is skyrocketing.

When a new discovery like mangosteen starts to hit popular mainstream awareness, it is inevitable that many companies & products will appear to fill the demand. That's why we want to share with you what we feel is the #1 CHOICE for a mangosteen product:

XANGO® Juice is the #1 PICK!
Here are the reasons why we've picked this particular mangosteen product over other products on the market:

Mangosteen juice Leader
Contains the WHOLE-FRUIT
Worldwide sourcing partner (for quality ingredients)
Highest manufacturing & quality-control standards
Now with over four years of proven use

#1 - Mangosteen Juice Leader

Before any product like mangosteen gets into the mainstream - somebody has to be first. And that "first" was XanGo® Juice!

XanGo® Juice was introduced to the marketplace in November of 2002. At that time, mangosteen was relatively unknown. Since that product launch, over eight million people have been introduced to XanGo® Juice, and over 500,000 people are official wholesale customers. We believe that XanGo™ being first, has been a major catalyst in bringing awareness to the mangosteen.

Mangosteensworld

#2 - The Whole Fruit

When creating drugs, Pharmaceutical companies research substances to determine what the active ingredients are. Then they extract that ingredient and create a drug with that particular ingredient. As we know, that can be a very useful process. However, sometimes there is no one ingredient but a combination that proves so powerful. This is called SYNERGY.

When using the whole fruit, you are not changing the makeup or composition. An extract needs to be tested thoroughly, as the concentration of a particular element can have dangerous side-effects. However, a whole fruit product keeps nature's balance intact.

XanGo® Juice contains the entire mangosteen fruit - the pulp, stem, rind, and fruit. Normally the rind is extremely bitter, but the fruit's delicious flavor helps to eliminate that bitterness. Using the entire fruit in juice form means the product is as close to the natural state as possible.

Finally, and most importantly, the many xanthones present in the mangosteen in its natural form are found present & active in the final juice form that XanGo, LLC produces. What would the purpose be to have a mangosteen product where the active compounds are no longer active? This is exactly why XanGo® Juice is such a superior choice.

Mangosteensworld

#3 - Worldwide sourcing partner

If you want to eat great food, everybody knows that you need to start with great ingredients! Ever hear of terms like "Catch of the day" or of restaurants like "Baja Fresh" & "Fresh Choice"? It's because we know that the BEST ingredients make for the best foods.

Before XanGo™ shipped its first bottle, the founders established relationships with worldwide sourcing companies. These contacts give them continual access to top-quality ingredients from prime mangosteen locations worldwide.

Instead of having to wait 10 years to create man-made groves of mangosteen, XanGo™ was able to immediately have top-quality mangosteen from some of the best locations in the entire world.

Mangosteensworld

#4 - Highest Manufacturing and Quality Control

Starting with such quality ingredients is definitely important, but unless you match that quality in manufacturing you could still end up with a shoddy product. Here again the wisdom of the XanGo™ founders proves itself when we look at their strategic global partnership.

The manufacturing facilities meet or exceed the requirements of not just ONE certification, but all THREE of the top certifications in the world, the ISO, FPA and AIB.

So the quality of the facilities is superb! Any ONE of these certifications is a feather in the cap of a production facility, but to get all three with such high scores is quite impressive.

The final test, however, is how does the final product compare with the original source. In other words, does XanGo® Juice deliver the same ingredients as raw mangosteen would?

As you might suspect with XanGo® Juice, it DOES!

Do not miss this FACT: Testing has shown that the same xanthones found in the mangosteen are still present and active in XanGo® Juice! That is the bottom line test, and on that fact alone we could give XanGo® Juice a high recommendation!

Mangosteensworld

#5 - Over FOUR Years of Usage

If you still are wondering which mangosteen product to try, in spite of all the information we've given you.. then consider this: XanGo® Juice has now been available and in use for over four years. There are over 500,000 people officially as XanGo™ members (most monthly users). That is an enormous size "testing base" if you will.

XanGo® Juice is composed of foods (fruits and juices) not drugs. You do not need the same kinds of tests that drugs need - because it does not carry the same kind of risks. In the past four years of intensive use across the world... the safety of XanGo® Juice juice has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Mangosteen & XANTHONES, SUPER Antioxidants

There has been extensive scientific research done on antioxidants found in vitamins -- especially Vitamins C & E. You will see, as you read below, that the xanthones found in certain fruits (like mangosteen) are also powerful antioxidants.


What are Xanthones?

The phytoceuticals (plant chemicals) of the mangosteen have been widely studied, but none as much as the class of highly active substances called xanthones.

Xanthones are also known as "adaptagens" for their unique ability to adapt to the needs of the body. In other words, they modulate and assist the body in many different areas.

Science has identified approximately 200 different xanthones that occur naturally (ie. in certain plants, fruits, herbs, etc). The mangosteen fruit ALONE has over 40! In addition, mangosteen has some of the most potent xanthones studied to date. No other fruit even comes close!

A number of herbs and plants contain some xanthones, but none as robust in quantity and vibrancy as the mangosteen. For example, the well-known St. John's Wort contains a single xanthone. And Garcinia Cambogia contains just 2.

Research

While government regulations prevent the sharing of scientific information directly with you, you are encouraged to do your own research using credible sources. One highly recommended source is www.PubMed.gov. Try beginning your search with "xanthones" or "garcinia mangostana" (the scientific name of the mangosteen).


Adding Mangosteen

The majority of the xanthones found in the mangosteen are located in the rind or pericarp (outer shell) of the fruit. The rind, however, is extremely bitter -- you couldn't eat it even if you tried (and some have). On the other hand, the snow-white center of the mangosteen is so delicious that many have declared it their favorite fruit - yet this part of the fruit has little nutritional value.

Two challenges had to be overcome when making a mangosteen product available to users worldwide:

#1 - Mangosteen only grows in tropical regions, with a primary source in Southeast Asia. It is not easily grown elsewhere and takes 10 years for a mangosteen tree to reach maturity.

#2 - Overcoming the extremely bitter taste of the mangosteen pericarp, yet having a product that still contains the whole fruit because of the many natural ingredients.

The Multi Purpose Mangosteen Health Benefits!

The Mangosteen:

Natural whole fruit
Abundant source of Xanthones (over 40 different Xanthones have been identified in the Mangosteen)
Delicious
Used for centuries in folklore remedies

There are many scientific studies that have been done on the mangosteen and its ingredients... and the research is continuing even now. We are still in the early days of discovery with this fruit.

I encourage you to do some research of your own, and I believe you will discover what we're talking about.


Mangosteen is a Food!

It's important to remember that when we're talking about the mangosteen, we're discussing a fruit -- a food! We're not talking about a drug -- some chemical laboratory creation. Drugs have their purpose, but they target a specific ailment and they do it strongly.

When you are eating a whole food, you are eating it as nature created it. You don't have to worry about drug interactions, or dangerous side-effects. With some drugs, the side-effects are scarier than the problem its treating!


What are the qualities of an ideal food?

It delivers great nutrients
Safe - No adverse side affects
Nutrition and delicious
Take a closer look and you will find that the mangosteen measures up in all categories.

It is always recommended that you consult your physician, if you have a known medical condition or allergy before using any food product.

Enjoy Xango!

Mangosteen, the Queen of Fruits!

"What is the mangosteen and what is all the excitement about?"

There are some very important things that you, your family and your friends should know about this fascinating fruit.

In Asia, the mangosteen is known as "The Queen of Fruits". The actual scientific name for it is Garcinia Mangostana but is usually called by its common name - mangosteen.

What makes the mangosteen so remarkable is that it naturally contains many powerful phytonutrients. The most talked about nutrients are called Xanthones, and the mangosteen alone contains an incredible 43 Xanthones. You can see those as "super-antioxidants".

About the size of a tangerine, the mangosteen has a smooth, dark purple rind, encasing a delicious snow-white fruit. Delicious? Yes! A healthful food that actually tastes good is a discovery to say the least, but it's what science has to say about the mangosteen that's turning so many heads.

Those who haven't yet heard about the mangosteen soon will. Consider yourself lucky to be a part of those who are finding out about it early on.


If it's this good,
why doesn't everyone know about it?

Chances are you probably have only heard a little about the mangosteen... or possibly nothing at all. It's interesting that something like the mangosteen - with so many potential benefits - has remained in relative obscurity.

Although the mangosteen remains largely unknown in parts of the world, it has been utilized in Southeast Asia for many centuries. It has been transplanted into Central and South America, India, Southern China and the Caribbean. It has widespread use in all these countries.

If you look up the history of the mangosteen, you can learn all sorts of interesting things about its many traditional uses.

More recently, university scientists around the globe became curious about these traditional uses and began doing experiments and scientific studies on mangosteen and its active Xanthones. Subsequently, hundreds of scientific studies have been published and more studies are ongoing.

Xango - Scam Or Real Money Maker? The Mother of All Xango Reviews!

Xango - Scam Or Real Money Maker? The Mother of All Xango Reviews!
You may be doing your research and come across other Xango reviews. This article is designed to be the the mother of all Xango Reviews and answer the question: Xango, Scam or real money maker?

What is Xango? It is a company that market a premium beverage called Xango Juice. It is a privately run business called Xango LLC which is based in Utah. They operate internationally and market in the U.S, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Germany and Malaysia.

The founder and board member is Joe Morton and they have over 1,000,000 independent distributors of their product.

The Product - The Juice is a dietary supplement from the "Mangosteen" fruit. The "Mangosteen" is a fruit grown in southeast Asia and other tropical climates. They also have other spin off products that revolve around the "Mangosteen".

Glimpse is a skin care product from the "Mangosteen" fruit. The range includes a Gel Cleanser, Serum, Toner, Moisturizing cream and lotion. They also have a Vitamin and Mineral supplement called "3Sixty5".

Another rather unique product offered is their Goodness Meal Pack. It is a meal replacement product that is designed to help people in the third world. Each distributor has the opportunity to buy these meal packs that will benefit others in needy parts of the world.

The compensation Plan - This is based on your volume of sales, personally and your team. The payouts can be received weekly, monthly or quarterly. The weekly payouts are called Power Start and reward the first two qualified distributors based on a new distributors initial sales order.

The monthly commission pays out on 9 levels and the company report that they pay out 50% on all commission-able volume. The Quarterly bonuses are for distributors that are qualified "Premiers" (a compensation plan title) or above and share 3% of global sales each quarter.

Xango, Scam or real money maker? The verdict - I can see that this opportunity offers a quality and ethical product. I believe the ethical side alone is a very strong sales point for distributors. Like most network marketing opportunities the compensation plan lends itself to a wealth of potential to generate a good income.

For this article to earn the title of "The mother of all Xango Reviews" and directly address the question: Xango, Scam or real money maker? I don't believe this company is a scam. The challenge I can see with this business is the fact that you need consistent sales month after month to really stand a chance to succeed. For this to be possible you need to have a good network of distributors with strong duplication, emphasis on the word duplication.

Whether you are marketing the opportunity or product you need to have a reliable system to market on auto pilot. A system that is easy to use and duplicate in your team. If you can harness such a system within your business I can see great potential for success.
