Can Mangosteen Replace Daily Vitamins?

While most people know about the antioxidant benefits of Vitamins C and E as antioxidants, far fewer are aware of the incredible power of xanthones*, chemical compounds found in nature with many times the antioxidant levels of vitamine C or E. Xanthones have recently won high praise from numerous scientists and researchers for their medicinal potential, since they demonstrate a number of pharmaceutical properties:

- Supports balance in every system of the body
- Builds and maintains immune system health
- Promotes joint flexibility and pain relief
- Provides positive mental support

The whole fruit of the mangosteen represents the single greatest known supply of these tremendously beneficial xanthones. The pericarp, or rind, of the mangosteen is particularly rich in xanthones*, which represent the next generation of powerful phytonutrients. In fact, recent scientific studies on human patients suggest the xanthones may offer support to every system of the body and a healthy alternative to many conventional treatments.
