Q. What do the
xanthones in the pericarp of
the mangosteen fruit do?
A There
are over 40 known xanthones
in the pericarp of the
mangosteen fruit. There are
also polysaccharides and
other active chemicals that
give the mangosteen fruit
its medicinal properties.
The following is a short
list outlining some of these
benefits:
 |
Antiinflammatory
– is known to
inhibit swelling,
tenderness, edema and
pain
|
|
Antioxidant
– known to stop the
harmful effects of free
radicals in the body
|
|
Cholesterol –
inhibits the oxidation
of LDL (the bad)
cholesterol before it
has a chance to damage
the lining of an artery
an cause a plaque to
build up. In other
words, reduces the risk
of atherosclerosis.
|
|
Immune system:
- posses potent
anti-bacterial,
anti-viral and
anti-fungal properties
|
|
Antitumor
properties –
the xanthones from
mangosteen inhibited
growth of different
types of liver cell
cancer and showed
promise with pancreatic
cancer
|
|
Digestive system
– demonstrated
anti-ulcer activity and
helped the body overcome
diarrhea and dysentery
|
|
Antiallergic
– demonstrated to reduce
the effects of allergic
reactions of the body
from common allergins to
anaphylaxis
|
|
Central nervous
system – the
mangosteen is shown to
produce a therapeutic
effect in both the
treatment and prevention
of Parkinson’s and
Alzheimer’s disease
|
|
Skin –
demonstrated to reduce
the effects of
dermatitis, eczema and
skin infections

Q. I consider myself a
healthy person. I try to balance
my diet and I take a
multi-vitamin each morning. Am I
getting xanthones from my food?
A. No. The xanthone family of
phytonutrients are found
primarily in two families in
nature ... Guttiferae (the
family of the mangosteen) and
Gentianaceae. The pericarp of
the mangosteen is a premier
source where xanthones are found
in concentrated amounts. Many
scientific studies name the
mangosteen pericarp as one of
the main sources of xanthones in
nature. There are (so far) over
40 identified xanthones in the
pericarp of the mangosteen
fruit.

Mangosteen
Research
The Mangosteen, if scientific
research is any indication, is
perhaps the most important fruit
on earth.
The Mangosteen contains several
classes of phytonutrient
antioxidants and is the only
place in nature to contain a
broad spectrum of a new class of
phytonutrients called Xanthones.
The potent effects on human
health of the Mangosteen have
been observed for centuries in
Southeast Asia, and have been
scientifically documented. Here
is a summary of the benefits of
the Mangosteen:
Mangosteen:
“I am convinced that Mangosteen
will, without a doubt, be the
most successful food supplement
ever.” – J. Frederic Templeman,
M.D.
Dr. Templeman is a practicing
primary care physician,
board-certified in both the US
and Canada who has never before
endorsed a food supplement. But
after testing a Mangosteen
derived Juice on his patients,
Dr. Templeman went on to publish
MANGOSTEEN, THE X FACTOR. You
may order his booklet from his
website: www.mangosteenmd.com.
His booklet summarized both the
observations of the native
healers and peoples of Southeast
Asia, and the scientific
research that now documents the
potent effects of this amazing
fruit.
As Dr. Templeman states in the
beginning of his book, “what is
impressive about these studies
is that all the scientific
studies on Mangosteen are
independent. The studies have no
commercial bias.” In addition,
while potent effects are noted
with profound implications for
human health, no safety or
toxicity issues have been noted.

Mangosteen – What
is it?
The Mangosteen
is tangerine-sized and is deep
purple in color on the outside,
with a bright white pulp in the
inside. Prized because of its
excellent flavor, in Asia it is
called the “Queen of Fruits,”
and, in the French Caribbean,
the Food of the Gods.” Used for
centuries throughout the lands
in which it grows, recent
scientific studies have revealed
an incredible scope of potent
human health benefits leading
many to believe that Mangosteen
will be the most important fruit
on earth.
Mangosteen: The X Factor
(Disclaimer:
No medical claim is made on any
particular product. Dietary
supplements are not a substitute
for treatment by your licensed
medical professional.)
The following
is a summary of the X Factor by
Dr. Templeman
Immune System
Protects against pathogens,
sepsis, influenza, pneumonia,
tuberculosis, AIDS, and
diverticulosis. Anti-bacterial,
anti-viral, anti-fungal.
Laboratory demonstrated to
interfere with HIV protease,
which keeps the virus immature
and incapable of infections.
Thai study demonstrated
effectiveness against
staphylococcus aureus bacteria.
Polysaccharides in the rind
stimulate phagocytic immune
cells (PMN’s and monocytes).
Effective against salmonella,
typhus and tuberculosis
bacteria.
Asian healers have used
Mangosteen for centuries for
syphilis, malaria, and amebic
dysentery. In South America, it
is used for intestinal worm
infestations.
Anti-Tumor Properties
Catechins in Mangosteen: Prevent
formation of carcinogenic
compounds by blocking
co-carcinogens. Turn up body’s
natural detoxification defenses.
Suppress cancer promotion or
growth.
Gastro-Intestinal System
Dysentery, GI pathogens,
diverticulosis, histamine and
serotonin blocking capacity.
Reduces excess stomach acid.
Anti-allergic effect.
Anti-stomach ulcer.
Respiratory System
Mangosteen study in September
2002 reported that it is an
anti-inflammatory and
anti-allergenic agent. Relevant
for asthma. Xanthoses modulate
IGE, antibody class involved in
allergic reactions. Mangosteen
can accomplish “what we now use
several drugs to do. Ideal
product to use daily to protect
our respiratory system’s
integrity”
The Central Nervous System
Dr. Nakahata’s research with
glial cells (central nervous
systems cells) suggest that
Mangosteen could produce a
therapeutic effect in both
treatment and prevention of
Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s
disease.
Skin
Mangosteen used for centuries to
treat eczema, dermatitis,
wounds, ringworm, acne,
impetigo, and growth disorders
of dermis (psoriasis or
seborrhea) skin cancer and sun
damage.
Folk Medicine Remedies
(India, China, Malaysia,
Philippines, etc.)
Antimicrobial/anti-inflammatory
powers. Treating eczematous and
hyperkeratotic skin conditions.
In Caribbean, tonic for fatigue
and malaise. Controlling fever.
Systemic Effects
Helps with fatigue, low energy.
Used on persons with chronic
fatigue and illness. From Dr.
James Duke, perhaps America’s
foremost ethnobotanist. Retired
in 1995. He worked for the USDA
and University of Maryland.
