Mangosteen is loaded
with powerful antioxidants, anti-inflammatory and antibiotic compounds.
Scientific research shows that Mangosteen contains a class of naturally
occurring polyphenol compounds known as xanthones. These xanthones are found in
the ripe dark purple rind (called pericarp) of the fruit. The rind of partially
ripe Mangosteen fruit yields a polyhydroxy-xanthone derivative termed mangostin,
also beta-mangostin. Fully ripe fruits contains the xanthones gartanin, beta-disoxygartanin,
and normangostin.
According to research reported in professional journals such as Free Radical
Research and the Journal of Pharmacology, these amazing Xanthones have a
remarkably beneficial effect on cardiovascular health. They also have properties
which help to heal cells damaged by free radicals, slow aging, and ward off
degenerative diseases and physical and mental deterioration. Xanthones also demonstrate the most powerful antioxidantive properties found in
nature as well as being naturally antibiotic, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory.
For hundreds of years, the people of
Southeast Asia have used the Mangosteen, especially the rind (called the
pericarp, to ward off and treat infections, reduce pain, control fevers, and
boost weakened immune systems. The pericarp can also be made into an ointment, and applied to eczema and other
skin disorders. Many of the other health benefits of xanthones from the
Mangosteen can be expressed in terms of how they act against various
ailments.
