Product Description:

Mangosteen, the Queen of Fruits, is a delicious-tasting fruit native to Southeast Asia. Mangosteen rind was found to have strong antioxidant properties due to the high content of Xanthones. Of the 200 known xanthones, nearly 50 are located in the “Queen of Fruits.” α-, β-, and γ-Mangostin are the significant components, the most abundant of which is α-Mangostin.

Functions and Applications of alpha Mangostin:

1. Antioxidant:
   Mangostin is the inhibitor of the oxidation of LDL, which has a significant role in cardiovascular and related chronic diseases.
2. Anti-allergies and inflammations:
   γ- Mangostin was identified to inhibit COX, as their inhibition acutely reduces inflammations, pains, and fevers.
3. Antivirus and anti-bacteria:
   The polysaccharides in the extract form can stimulate phagocytic cells to kill intracellular bacteria.
