Mongosteen has long been used in Asia for its powerful anti-inflammatory properties and has been effectively used for treatment of skin conditions such as psoriasis. In the Caribbean, Mangosteen tea is a traditional tonic for fatigue and low energy. There may be no other plant more widely used and studied in Asia that is so unfamiliar to the Western world. Over the past six years, noted ethnobiologist, Dr. James Duke has identified 210 distinct active ingredients each of which play a role in maintaining balance in the human body.** The value of mangosteen has two important components: (1) antioxidant properties and (2) other medicinal properties of Xanthones.

• Anti-bacterial and anti-viral
• Highest content of Xanthones
• Strong antioxidant

ANTIOXIDANT:

Free radicals are unstable oxygen molecules generated by our bodies during metabolism (at a level that your natural defense systems can normally handle), but which are generated more abundantly in response to unnatural stress, exposure to air pollution, smoking, pesticides and other environmental factors. The enormous increase in these free radicals from environmental stress can overwhelm your body.
A free radical occurs when an oxygen molecule looses one of its two electrons making it incomplete. This “free radical” looks to take on an electron from healthy molecules destroying the healthy cells in the process and generating a chain reaction which creates more and more free radicals. This can disturb the equilibrium between various organs as well as the stability of the organism as a whole (homeostasis) and cause various illnesses including cancer, diabetes, liver disease, inflammation and arthritis, and accelerate the process of aging.

Contained in the skin and pulp (rind) of the Mangosteen fruit are powerful, life-enhancing substances which scientists have named “Xanthones.” These are natural chemical substances that are found nowhere in nature in more abundance than in the rind of the mangosteen fruit. Modern medical research supports the fact that the “apha mangostin” and “gamma manostin” xanthones are among the most powerful and effective antioxidants found anywhere in nature. In their natural form (not synthesized in a laboratory) these are digested and metabolized and help your body to fight oxidation and the deleterious effects that result.

Xanthones:

Xanthones are naturally occurring biological chemically active compounds which couple with other molecules to become beneficial to a great many systems in our bodies. Xanthones have been intensely and thoroughly studied for several decades regarding their medicinal effects and pharmaceutical properties. No plant in nature has a higher concentration or variety of xanthones than mangosteen. Twenty- four distinct xantones have been identified in mangosteen rind. Researchers have demonstrated their positive effect on cardiovascular health ; and their antiviral, antibiotic, and anti-inflammatory properties in addition to their being a powerful antioxidant. They boost our energy, prevent pain, reduce anxiety, help to prevent Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, and have anti-tumor and cancer properties. There is probably not a more well- rounded or overall beneficial herbal supplement than mangosteen, and in our highly concentrated powdered form you should enjoy both the short term and long term positive results.

The anti-inflammatory properties of mangosteen are comparable in strength to Dexamethasone, a potent anti-inflammatory prescription drug. However, take a look at the long list of possible adverse side effects of Dexamethasone compared to the use of mangosteen which is without adverse side effects. The many health benefits we derive by the use of mangosteen are without any known negative side effects.

Dr. Duke’s list of proven activities of Mangosteen are most impressive and include:
1. Antifatigue
2. Antitumor and cancer preventative (multiple means of cancer prevention are cited)
3. Anti-aging
4. Antioxidant
5. Hypotensive (lowers blood pressure)
6. Hypoglycemic (lowers bood sugar levels having an anti diabetic effect)
7. Immunostimulant (multiple catagories cited)
8. Antilipidemic –lowers blood fat levels
9. Anti-obesity – promotes weight loss
10. Antherosclerotic – prevents hardening of arteries
11. Cardioprotective
12. Antiviral
13. Antibiotic – modulates and prevents bacterial infections)
14. Antidepressent
15. Anxyolytic – anti-anxiety effect
16. Anti-Alzheimerian – helps prevent dementia
17. Anti-arthritic
18. Antiperidontic – prevents gum disease
19. Antistenoporosis – helps prevent loss of bone mass
20. Antiallergenic – helps prevent allergic reactions
21. Antiseborric – prevents dandruff
22. Anticalculictic – helps prevent kidney stones
23. Antipyrectic – lowers fever
24. Anti-Parkinsons
25. Antidiahrreal
26. Antineuralgic – reduces nerve pain
27. Antivertigo – reduces dizziness
28. Antiglaucomic
29. Anticataract
As I have limited my selection of effects, please keep in mind that there are still more than 100 additional effects noted in the database. Many of the remaining effects are major such as analgesic action (controls pain), anti-inflammatory, and anti-ulcer properties (stomach, mouth, and bowel ulcers).

Mangosteen grows in abundance in Thailand and S.E. Asia, but has a relatively short growing season. It is known in Thailand as the “Queen of Fruits” for its delicious sweet white fruit, but it is in the bitter tasting skin and rind that the greatest value abides. It is for this reason that we powderize and capsulate the rind.

Our mangosteen rind powder has been approved as a food supplement by the F.D.A. (Thailand). The true test is to try our product and experience the benefits first-hand.

Thai Freeze Dry is honored to be part of bringing better health to our customers. We thank you for this opportunity. “Here’s to your health!”
