Absolute Mangosteen Ingredients:

100% Pure, Cold-Pressed Mangosteen Fruit Juice (Garcinia mangostana L.). Certified Kosher. No added water, sugar, artificial colors, chemicals, or preservatives. As with all 100% natural products, taste, color, and texture may vary.

Our juice includes the sweet, fleshy pulp of the Mangosteen fruit, as well as the xanthone-rich pericarp.

Pulp (n.): soft, fleshy plant tissue, such as the inner part of a fruit or vegetable.

Pericarp (n.): the part of a fruit that surrounds the seed or seeds, including the skin or rind.

Xanthone (n.): C₁₃H₈O₂ is a unique class of biologically active compounds possessing numerous bioactive capabilities, such as high antioxidant properties.

General Information:

Origin:

The exact place of origin of the mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) is unknown, but research indicates it was probably somewhere in the Malay Archipelago. Native species may still be found growing wild on some islands. The majority of today's mangosteen cultivation occurs in Thailand, with smaller areas of cultivation throughout Southeast Asia. Mangosteen has proven to be a difficult plant to domesticate. It has been planted throughout the warm/humid climate regions of the world with little success in any mass cultivation. This is due to the mangosteen's inability to acclimate itself to any region other than its place of origin. The result of this limited cultivation, combined with the mangosteen plant's slow growth, is reflected in the high price of the pure finished product.

Mangosteen is composed of these substances:

There is a big buzz in the medical and holistic communities these days, and it's all thanks to a fairly recent discovery. This discovery is the phenomenal health benefits the human body derives from a class of phytochemicals known as xanthones. Over 200 xanthones have been identified in nature, each with its own unique effects on the body. Xanthones are contained within a large family of compounds known as phenols, and also within this grouping are bioflavonoids, anthocyanins, and proanthocyanidins (OPCs). Xanthones are the primary active phytochemical class found in the Mangosteen fruit (Garcinia mangostana L.). Science has crowned the king of xanthones: the mangosteen fruit, with over 40 xanthones identified in the pericarp, more commonly known as the rind, making it the most abundant xanthone source in the world. Of these 40 or so xanthones, only six have been studied in depth, and with much excitement, I would like to add. The xanthones isolated are Mangostin, Mangostanol, y-mangostin, Garcinol, Garcinone B, and Garcinone E. Researchers still don't fully understand how the xanthones in the mangosteen fruit exert such a favorable impact on human health. Researchers, though, do confirm that the mangosteen possesses powerful healing properties that surpass many man-made substances.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, over the months and years to come, the scientific community will continue to unlock more secrets still to be found inside the mangosteen fruit. With each new clinical study, we move another step closer to validating xanthones, a natural compound, for the treatment and prevention of disease. Today, we can all reap the benefits of the hard work of science in the form of our Absolute Mangosteen. A high ORAC-rated, xanthone-rich, antioxidant-rich therapy juice drink. It tastes terrific, and it's terrific for you!
