Among the powerful phytonutrients found in the rind of the mangosteen, xanthones stand alone in their impressive benefits. Scientific studies suggest xanthones may promote healthy bodily function. The whole mangosteen fruit, packed with naturally occurring xanthones, may help:
- maintain intestinal health.
- support the immune system.
- neutralize free radicals.
- support cartilage and joint function.
- promote a healthy seasonal respiratory system.

Xanthones in Mangosteen
Researchers have identified dozens of biologically active xanthones in the mangosteen fruit. Today, researchers are just beginning to uncover the powerful scientific properties behind the mangosteen fruit.
What are Xanthones?
Xanthones are a unique class of biologically active compounds possessing numerous bioactive capabilities — such as antioxidant properties.
A restricted group of plant polyphenols, biosynthetically related to the flavonoids.
polyphenol – a group of plant chemical substances characterized by the presence of more than one phenolic group. Polyphenols are responsible for the color of some plants and are considered strong antioxidants with potential health benefits.
Flavonoid – over 5,000 naturally occurring flavonoids have been characterized from various plants. The beneficial effects of plant-derived food are often attributed to flavonoid compounds, rather than known nutrients, as they show a wide range of biological effects.
