A Gift from Nature - The Hidden Power of Mangosteen

mangosteen tree What is the secret to the mangosteen’s popularity? For hundreds, and even thousands of years, the mangosteen has been valued and revered by the people of Southeast Asia. The reason is simple: the fruit of the mangosteen is unbelievably delicious.

However, superior taste is not the only reason. The rind that surrounds the delicious white pulp contains a hidden secret to the intense demand for the Queen of Fruits.

The people of Southeast Asia have used the deep purple rind as a traditional remedy-brewing teas, crafting poultices-to help stomachs, suppress eczema and prevent infections. Mangosteen as a natural healing agent is a crystallization of mankind’s wisdom and nature’s intelligence.

Mangosteen’s medicinal effect is derived from the antioxidant properties of xanthones, and has been proven in recent research. Mangosteen is a fresh discovery of tradition and science, a treasure of the natural world.
