Have you ever heard of the Mangosteen? Well, I hadn’t until today. We could all be hearing a lot more about it following the launch of a new drink called XanGo, which is made from the juice of the Mangosteen fruit.

The Mangosteen is a tropical fruit from South East Asia where it is known as the ‘Queen of Fruits’. In fact, it’s popularity has led to it becoming the national fruit of Thailand. This is partly because of it’s delicious, exotic taste and partly because of it’s potential health benefits, especially the skin which is said to contain a number of important nutrients, such as xanthones, catechins, polyphenols and flavonoids. There is evidence to suggest that compounds like these help support the immune system.

XanGo Juice captures all of these beneficial natural substances by incorporating the whole fruit into the drink including the pulp, skin, seeds and leaves. What it doesn’t contain are any synthetic ingredients, such as preservatives. Will the Mangosteen become as popular in North America and Europe as it is in South East Asia? We’ll have to see, but XanGo Juice will surely help.
