- Unique Features
- Just pure mangosteen extract. No added diluents.
- Better than drinking mangosteen juice.
- Less expensive, but with all the benefits of drinking mangosteen juice
- Higher concentration of mangosteen xanthones.
- No added sugar or other juice powders. Many mangosteen juice products contain added sugar and other fruit juices.
- Extract is standardized via HPLC to 50 % xanthones (40 % of these are alpha mangostin).
- Alpha mangostin is the primary xanthone in mangosteen and the xanthone shown to exert the greatest in vitro effects.
- Standardized to greater than 90 mg polyphenols per capsule ensuring superior antioxidant capacity.
- Benefits
- Available as an easy-to-swallow, easy-to-carry softgel.
- Whole spectrum liquid extract contains the complete range of xanthones, predominantly from the xanthonerich pericarp (rind). The extract may contain other mangosteen constituents not yet characterized, such as proanthocyanidins, prodelphinidin, gallic acid, catechins and their oligomers.
- Soft gelatin capsule protects actives from degradation better than other formats.
- Hydrophobic matrix of oils in the softgel maximizes solubility and absorption of non-polar actives such as xanthones.

- Allergies - Anyone with known allergies to mangosteen should avoid supplementation.
- Pregnancy and lactation - The effect of concentrated xanthones has not been studied in pregnant and lactating women, so is not recommended unless under the direction of a health care provider.
- Children - Due to the lack of studies on highly concentrated mangosteen it may not be appropriate for children at this time.
- Drug Interactions - Very little data available
- The high amount of tannins could potentially affect uptake of some prescription drugs, therefore take medications at least two hours before or after using this product.
- Blood-thinning medications - Since it is not known if mangosteen xanthones interact with blood-thinning medication such as warfarin, please check with your health care provider.
