Mangosteen Juice

PRODUCT DETAILS

The Mangosteen (Garcinia Mangostana L.) Fruit has been treasured for thousands of years by the people living in Southeast Asia. This cherished fruit is also known as the \"Queen of Fruits\". The warm, tropical climate and nutrient rich soil guarantee nearly perfect conditions for these fruits to ripen. The white, moist, soft and juice flesh of the Mongosteen is sweet, aromatic, and tastes great.

As with other superfruits, varying parts of the fruit provide health benefits. According to Gross, “The purple pericarp [of the mangosteen], which is not considered edible, is a rich source for extracting antioxidant phytochemicals, whereas the interior flesh is valued as a juice or pulp product.”  Two primary xanthone extracts—garcinol and mangostin—have “potential as anti-inflammatory agents with preliminary evidence for inhibiting cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes and carcinogenic effects,” he said. A 2004 study explored the antiproliferative, apoptotic and antioxidative properties of crude methanolic extract (CME) from the pericarp of the mangosteen on human breast cancer cells.2 Researchers “found that antiproliferative effect of CME was associated with apoptosis on breast cancer cell line by determinations of morphological changes and oligonucleosomal DNA fragments”, and that the extract “has potential for cancer chemoprevention.”
