Mangosteen the Xanthone Fruit!
In the exotic region of Thailand the Mangosteen grows
abundantly. Mangosteen should not be confused with the mango, an
entirely different plant. It is part of a group known as the Guttiferae,
a family of mainly tropical trees and shrubs that secrete an acrid
yellow resinous juice. Mangosteen's scientific designation is
Garcinia Mangostana.
Xanthones (pronounced zan-thone) are abundantly found in Mangosteen
fruit. Consisting of a smooth dark outer skin and snow-white fleshy
interior pulp, the Mangosteen fruit's xanthone content is of the highest
levels researchers have found.
Xanthones by definition are biologically active plant
phenols that possess a high degree of medicinal properties. Garcinia
Mangostana L. or the Mangosteen tree, is a natural source of dietary
xanthones that offer a wide range of health benefits.†
