What is “Mangosteen”?

Our busy lifestyles and polluted environment mean that our bodies are under ever increasing stress. This can manifest itself in a variety of ways including fatigue, allergies or illness. As our immune system fights to protect more than 75 trillion cells in the body, many people are looking for a natural way to enhance their diet and help care for their bodies.

Harvested from the Garcinia Mangostana plant, Mangosteen has been used for centuries by the inhabitants of its native tropical rainforests and is often referred to as the “Queen of Fruits”. Mangosteen has been utilised by folk medicine to relieve conditions as varied as dysentery, eczema and cystitis.

A favourite of Queen Victoria, who said she would knight the first person to bring her one, the Mangosteen is renowned for its ability to help reduce fever, alleviate fatigue, increase energy levels and support the immune system.

However, it is the exceptionally high content of Xanthones which has brought Mangosteen to the attention of the Western world. Amongst the most potent antioxidants ever discovered, Xanthones can help fight the free radicals which cause damage to cells and may cause aging.
