| The brand name XanGo was
created from two words: Xanthones
and Mangosteen.
And while this brand name represents the origin of the beverage, it will also come to
represent much more to the people who enjoy it. The
first dietary supplement of its kind, with its distinctive, eye-catching logo, XanGo is readily identified as a true
category creator.
Virtually unknown in the West, mangosteen
has been used for thousands of years in Chinese, Ayurvedic, and folk medicine throughout
Asia.
Despite the fact that mangosteen
has only recently been discovered in the West, there have already been literally hundreds
of research papers and third party studies conducted on mangosteen
and xanthones throughout the world,
corroborating what folklore medicine has known for centuries: Mangosteen Works!
XanGo is a proprietary formulation
featuring mangosteen whole fruit puree,
utilizing all the xanthone-laden components
of the fruit. The result is a heavenly delicious beverage that brings a wealth of
incredible benefits.
 The Origins of XanGO: Southeast Asia
Dawn breaks over the jungles of Southeast Asia and begins to burn away the
nighttime mists. Although it is early, the street side produce markets in villages and
towns throughout the land are already bustling with activity, for today is different. In
these tropical climates, most fruits and vegetables are available any time of year, but
today the open-air markets are humming with an almost electric anticipation. This only
happens twice a year. Every six months. That's the harvest cycle for the fruit prized
above all others. The Queen of Fruits! For countless generations, the people of
Southeast Asia have valued the mangosteen above all other
fruits. These are people intimately acquainted with the plants of the rain
forest. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of edible fruits, nuts, stems, and roots.
And yet only the mangosteen carries the
label The Queen of Fruits.
Why does the mangosteen deserve
such a title? Certainly a major reason is the role the mangosteen
played in ancient Southeast Asian medicine. Traditionally utilized to control
fever and ward off infections of every kind, the whole mangosteen
fruit was used and revered.
But the people of early Southeast Asia weren't all that different from us. Yes,
they recognized and valued the medicinal benefits of the mangosteen.
But what really caught their fancy was the taste! Difficult to describe, yet impossible to
forget.
Mangosteen: Queen of Fruits
Although almost unheard of in the temperate zones of North America and Europe, mangosteen is so prized by inhabitants of tropical
rain forests that it is universally known as the Queen of Fruits and the Fruit of the
Gods.
About the size of a tangerine, the ripe mangosteen
has a smooth, dark purple rind encasing snow-white fruit. Unlike other tropical fruits
that are so unusual and obscure that eating them requires an "acquired taste," mangosteen has a sweet, mild flavor that appeals
to everyone, beginning with the first bite.
Limited to tropical zones with abundant rainfall, the mangosteen
tree takes 10 years to mature and bear fruit. Fully mature trees can be up to 80 feet
tall, and may produce thousands of individual fruits each year.
In Southeast Asia, where the mangosteen
is predominantly grown, the people value this exceptional fruit for its premium taste and
heavenly flavor. In fact, when Queen Victoria tasted this imported delicacy in the
mid-1800s, she promptly declared it her favorite fruit.
Although readily available in season throughout Southeast Asia, until
now the mangosteen fruit in its whole form has never been
commercially available in North America.
Good For the Body - Heaven For the Tongue
Traditionally utilized to control pain, fever and to ward off infections
of every kind, to protect against disease, increase energy, and as a natural
anti-inflammatory, the whole mangosteen
fruit has been used and revered for thousands of years.
But the people of early Southeast Asia weren't all that different from us. Yes,
they recognized and valued the medicinal benefits of the mangosteen.
But what really caught their fancy was the taste! Difficult to describe, yet impossible to
forget.
David Karp, writer for Gourmet Magazine describes the flavor of the mangosteen best in a recent article in the July
2003 issue called "Meet the Mangosteens."

"I cut open a thick rind to reveal six snowy white, almost translucent
segments that were like little eggs nestled in a jewel box. The flavor was almost
unbearably exquisite - a sweet-tart melding of elegance and opulence that had echoes of
fruit of every climate. Think of cherimoyas, lychees, and peaches mingled into one soft,
moist, fragrant mouthful. I understood at last why many people consider mangosteen the
finest fruit in the world-and why Queen Victoria is said to have offered a knighthood to
anybody who could bring her one." -David Karp, The Fruit
Detective, Meet the Mangosteens, Gourmet Magazine, July 2003, pp. 88-89 |

A Family of Powerful Phytonutrients
While most people know about the antioxidant benefits of Vitamins C and E, far
fewer are aware of the incredibly potent antioxidant power of xanthones. Xanthones
are natural chemical substances that have recently won high praise from numerous
scientists and researchers. Xanthones have
been studied for their medicinal potential, since they demonstrate a number of
pharmaceutical properties:
- Supports microbiological balance
- Maintains immune system health
- Promotes joint flexibility
- Provides positive mental support
 What's remarkable is that the mangosteen - not just the inner flesh, but the whole fruit
- represents the single greatest known supply of these tremendously beneficial xanthones. The pericarp, or rind, of the mangosteen is particularly rich in xanthones, which represent the next generation of powerful
phytonutrients; phytonutrients that will change the future of dietary supplements.
XanGo
is a proprietary formulation featuring mangosteen
whole fruit puree, utilizing all the xanthone-laden
components of the fruit. The result is a heavenly delicious beverage that brings a wealth
of incredible benefits.
Is The Mangosteen Medicine?
One Medical Doctor actually uses a mangosteen
food supplement in his full-time medical practice. He became so enthusiastic about his
results with his patients that he recently published a book on the benefits of the mangosteen plant and its extremely wide range of health
applications.

"Mangosteen extract has multiple health benefits. This simple fact is both
its greatest asset and its greatest liability. Unfortunately, many people will never try
it because of its claims of effects across the full spectrum health concerts. They say,
'No one product can do all that!' But my patients know better...The Mangosteen
Works!"
-J. Frederic Templeman, MD,
Author of "Mangosteen, The X-Factor" |

XanGo is a truly
unique product with natural, universal appeal.
XanGo harnesses the incredible
nutritional power of the whole mangosteen
fruit, then offers it in the form of an indescribably delicious beverage. It's difficult
to describe the flavor with accuracy. Some people detect a hint of strawberry, while
others are reminded of kiwi, pomegranate, or grape. The complex flavor of this sweet, dry
beverage, however, wins instant praise from all who try it. And an ounce or two in the
morning is all you need to start your day invigorated, rejuvenated, and energized. As the
first commercial product to feature the complete nutrition of the whole mangosteen fruit, XanGo
is an indisputable category creator, unleashing a new superstar in the world of health
supplements.
Mangosteen: More Powerful Than Dozens of Fruits Combined!

A new laboratory test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) has
shown that an ounce of mangosteen juice has 20-30 times the ability to absorb free
radicals than one ounce of most fruits and vegetables. The ORAC test is
one of the most accurate ways to measure the ability of antioxidants in a certain
substance to absorb free radicals. |

Xango Mangosteen Juice Suggested Use:
"Here's the rule of thumb for dosing: if illnesses are already present,
three doses a day would be optimal, if possible, before meals. One-to-three oz per dose.
For prevention, a single dose a day is plenty but again, the amount can be from one to
three oz. Economics are most often the limiting factor in how much per dose. There is no
upper limit but I see no real benefit to more than 2oz per dose in most situations."
- J Fredrick Templeman, M.D.
