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.”

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.



Thanks for your participation.
