What is a Mangosteen?

Hint: It's not a mango.
The mangosteen fruit (or Garcinia mangostana, as it is known scientifically) is exotic, delicious and packed full of xanthones and other phytonutrients that demonstrate impressive health benefits.

It is also:

• found mainly in Southeast Asia and other tropical regions
• roughly the size of a tangerine—about 2-3 inchesin diameter
• often called the Queen of Fruits (Queen Victoria gave knighthood to anyone who brought it to her)
• has a bitter, purplish rind full of xanthones and other phytonutrients
• has a beautiful, white pulp with 4-8 segments of pure taste-bud bliss
  

Although the mangosteen has been touted for its splendid flavor, it has also been suggested that use of the whole mangosteen fruit can promote good health and wellness.

In fact, the whole mangosteen fruit—especially the xanthone-packed rind—has been utilized to treat a variety of health conditions. As early as 600 AD, scribes in Southeast Asia recorded the use of the mangosteen as a general remedy and healing agent.

The mangosteen rind was sliced and dried, then ground to a powder and administered as an herbal preparation. The mangosteen rind was steeped in water overnight and taken as a tea. The mangosteen rind was made in to an ointment and applied externally as a lotion.
It was through these popular uses that the benefits of mangosteen were passed down through history and several scientists and explorers took note.
When Europeans explored Southeast Asia folklore related to the mangosteen first spread to Western culture.

Now this delicious and beneficial fruit can be found in a category-creating beverage called XanGo® Juice!

A Little about the Tree

The small dark purple fruit grows abundantly and is harvested twice a year from a small evergreen tree.
The mangosteen tree is actually in the same plant family as St. John's Wort, a recognized herbal supplement.  

• short, thick and leathery evergreen leaves
• grows 20 to 80 feet tall
• first fruit harvest takes place 10-20 years after planting
• average lifetime yield of full-grown tree is 500
• some trees provide ripe mangosteen fruit up to 100 years

The mangosteen tree is "ultra-tropical" and cannot tolerate temperatures below 40°F or above 100°F. All attempts to grow the trees in locations north of 20° latitude have failed.

Our Mangosteen Skin Care Story

In our ever-present quest for healthy, youthful looking skin, many of us have been lead to believe that the personal care products we use help the progress of our journey. The startling truth is that these products actually hinder our progress, and could damage our skin health.

With the first-to-market launch of XanGo^® Juice, a global community was introduced to internal consumption of mangosteen; this created a category. The mangosteen’s dark purple pericarp was actually used traditionally in Southeast Asia to maintain both internal and external health.

Six years after globally introducing XanGo Juice, we invite you to catch a glimpse of the future. XanGo is once again first-to-market, introducing Glimpse™ Intuitive Skin Care — a category creator in topical skin nutrition with the mangosteen.

Glimpse™ Intuitive Skin Care represents the perfect convergence of nature, time-honored techniques and advanced, customized technology. It is the culmination of our decades-long pursuit for optimal skin nutrition. Glimpse topical nutrition empowers you with nutrient-rich botanicals and rare purity from the mangosteen. The result is a bright, radiant and healthy-looking complexion.

Blessed with the discovery of this fruit by Joe Morton, XanGo has made a conscious choice ... the choice of not only creating a category, but of doing it the right way.

Like many of you, as a parent and grandparent, I have made the chemical connection between the harmful toxins in the personal care products we use and potentially devastating diseases, and have chosen to make a change. XanGo has pledged to do no harm. Our public commitment of signing the Compact for Safe Cosmetics ensures for you performance-based mangosteen nutrition, inside and outside, without the use of harmful toxins.

Glimpse provides something better for you, your soul and your small part of the world. It is the catalyst of change ... positive, intentional, and health-conscious change. It represents a fork in the road, the one less traveled, on your journey to health and wellness. As so expressively written by Robert Frost, “I took the road less traveled by and that has made all the difference.”

Mangosteen is here to stay - Mayo Clinic begins first large scale human trial

Studying the Next Super Food

Like it or not, theMangosteen is coming full throttle. Only 3% of Americans have heard about it and most have no clue why it is THE most important discovery in the decade. Ever heard of xanthones ? I didn't either four years ago. Besides the 200+ scientifically proven health benefits (try that with any other juice) it has a few things anyone should take a closer look at (see 1712 research papers from around the world and the past 100 years) - here are just a few:

Most powerful natural anti-inflammatory known to man

Anti-tumor benefits

Anti-fungal, -bacterial, -viral

Cox-II inhibitor (pain)

Balances pH values in our bodies

Anti-histamine properties (allergies)

etc., etc. see searchable data bank on a link at bottom.

Inflammation is the main cause of most dreadful and deadly diseases known to man. The fatal five are cancer, diabetes (rising), heart attack, stroke and lung disease. No wonder the pharma-industry is making billions on all the stuff that doesn't get rid of the problem just makes you dependent on it just to survive. so how awesome would it be to have a zero side effects all natural great tasting juice that is a powerful anti-inflammatory?!? Hello nutritionists and gym-nuts!

It could be so simple - just know your body and know your food. And stop eating CRAP!

Mangosteen is one of the BEST crayons in your box - and everyone should have it. The Mangosteen is not just another fad. It will be the most talked about fruit of the decade - call me in 5 years - it will be on everyone's table. Dr. Brent A. Bauer from the famous Mayo clinic is now starting their first large scale human trial with the Mangosteen because of the millions of people benefiting from it and not having to take their medicines any more. I don't see that happening with Acai or any of the other juices that are jumping the band wagon of the huge success the mangosteen is having. 

Just to give you an idea. It took Microsoft 13 years to make a billion in sales. It took Ebay six years. The fastest growing company in the history of man. It took Xango the same six years, by word of mouth only!!! to reach one billion in sales. Ask any business person, they will tell you that is unheard of. In this blog I will just speak of the awe-inspiring health benefits and not even touch on the business opportunity involved. The Wellness Revolution (by Paul Zane Pilzer) is the future trillion dollar business. Not to mention Xango Goodnessand the 7% worldwide sales that this company donates to "Operation Kids". And not to mention the meal packs that are available for all of us to donate to children in need all around the world. Most of us are already good at helping ourselves - here we have the built in automatic of helping others at the same time.

What I'm trying to emphasize with the passage above is that you can be skeptical until the cows come home, it's just procrastinating. Have all the objections you want - This fruit juice is working and helping millions around the world. Why not try it for yourself and help all your loved ones and friends with an opportunity to change their health and their life to the better. You haveNOTHING to loose and all to gain.

I could go on for hours. It is safe for me to share with you that I lost my life-long allergies and asthma three years ago when I started drinking this multi-functional juice. And trust me, I have tried every crappy drug on the planet trying to get rid of it. Our children haven't been even close to getting sick since they drink the mangosteen juice. Besides the extraordinary blessing, what a huge money and tiiiiiime-saver!!!

Check it out and see what you think. Make an educated decision not an emotional gut feeling excuse. And do yourself a favor, don't think your doctor, nutritionist or anyone can give you good advice on this topic. 97% of the population has never even heard of the mangosteen. That would be like asking a poor man for advice to tell you how to get rich.

See for yourself. Do your home work. I'd be delighted to point you to many more resources. Your feedback would really mean a lot to us. feel free to send us an email or comment on this healthy cooking blog. I hope to grow an archive of exciting knowledge on health and whole foods that will serve all of our friends and anyone that cares.

Take a three minute journey and see for yourself. You have nothing to loose and everything to gain. Enjoy ;-)

Thanks and be well,

A Glimpse at a New Beginning

Hello Ladies & Gentlemen, Mangosteen, Health & Cosmetic Fans,

We are in the pre-launch phase of a new clean, green and toxin free skin care line based on a new, patented technology, called Glimpse™.

We are conducting a survey on your skin care needs and toxin awareness in your brands that you use today. We would therefore appreciate your responses. We are also wondering how much YOU care about what you put on your skin and absorb into your body.

Did you know that the FDA does not require companies to test their own skin care products for safety? That is alarming and we wonder, if people really do not care what they put on their skin.

All survey participants that also email us (MangosteenBreeze@Gmail.com) with specific questions or wanting more information, will be entered in a drawing for a free Glimpse Skin Care Kit (a 200.00$ value) in November 2008!

We highly encourage you to share with us your personal challenges with skin care products. What is on your mind when it comes to "what you allow to touch your skin"?

Please do not hesitate to e-mail us (MangosteenBreeze@Gmail.com) with all your questions. For each inquiry about our skin care products via e-mail, we will send you (1) a FREE brochure that will answer all your questions about the the skin care ingredients, (2) information about the connection between cosmetics and breast cancer, (3) details about what you will NOT find in our skin care treatments and (4) access to a unique skin care product info & pre-purchase webinar.
