The dark purple rind was dried and ground and used to fight off infection. Ancient healers created an extract of the fruit to reduce fever. Poultices were made to treat parasitic skin infections. It has been used for centuries to treat dysentery, diarrhea, urinary tract infections, and eczema.

Researchers have identified dozens of biologically active compounds called "Xanthones" in the rind of the mangosteen fruit. There are litterally stacks of existing mangosteen research in dozens of countries talking about the benefits of mangosteen.

Xanthones, the active compounds in the mangosteen fruit, have been proven in many scientific studies to promote healthy bodily function.

Actually, Countless people have reported "relief" from their arthritis as a result of taking mangosteen.

Some have felt results in as little as 30 minutes after taking the mangosteen juice for the first time! Others have felt results in 2-3 days, while some people have reported phenominal results in 2-3 months after starting the mangosteen supplement.

People are continuing to see drastic results in all forms of arthritis including- arthritis, rhuematiod arthritis, joint pain, carpal tunnel, lupus, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue.

But the mangosteen fruit benefits were a mystery for ever so long. It wasn't until about 40 years ago when scientists first put Mangosteen fruit under the microscope that they discovered these "xanthones".

Xanthones, according to researchers, are some of the most powerful antioxidants found in nature and have also demonstrated incredible healing properties in reviewed scientific studies all around the world.

Xanthones are found more in the rind of the mangosteen fruit than any other food source on earth. The mangosteen fruit benefits have been shown to include/help the following:

Anti-aging, Anti-biotic, Alzheimers, Parkinsons, Anxiety, Antioxidants, Anti-Allergy, Anti-depressant, Periodontal (gum health), Eye health, Migraines, Skin rashes, Hypertension, Pan systemic, Energizer (Energy booster), Anti-Inflammatory, Anti-Tumor, Analgesic (Pain reducer), Nerve pain, Anti-pyretic (Lowers fevers), Anti-viral, Stimulates red blood cell growth, Ulcers, Osteoporosis, Immune Modulator (help immune system), Cardio protective (helps protect heart), Cataracts, Irritable bowel syndrome, Anti-fungal, Anti-pathogenic (reduce pathogens), Anti-parasitic, Supports weight loss, Hardening of the arteries, Anti-lipidemic (lowers blood fat), and Anti-diabetic (lowers blood sugar).

Six Xanthones were even found to KILL CANCER CELLS.

Although the mangosteen is only one food source, its the many xanthones and antioxidant properties that allow it to provide such a wide range of health benefits.

It's most recognized benefit is its anti-inflammatory properties.

It's this particularly that is said to be responsible for the endless "arthritis relief" stories that are surfacing as a result of drinking the mangosteen juice.

With over 16,500 people dying every year from the deadly side effects of anti-anflammatory medications, the mangosteen fulfilles a much needed void for natural health alternatives.
