For centuries, the varied cultures and
societies of Southeast Asia have revered the mangosteen.
Although the mangosteen has been touted for its splendid flavor,
it has also been suggested that use of the whole mangosteen
fruit can promote good health. In fact, the whole mangosteen
fruit—especially the xanthone-packed rind—has also been utilized
in folk medicine to treat a variety of health conditions. As
early as 600 AD, scribes in Southeast Asia recorded the use of
the mangosteen as a general remedy and healing agent.
Mangosteen: "The Queen of Fruits"
The early benefits of the mangosteen are
both broad and convincing. Legend even has it that Queen
Victoria offered knighthood to any subject who could bring her a
mangosteen fruit in prime condition. Sadly, no one succeeded in
delivering the mangosteen. According to the legend, the virtual
impossibility of preserving the fruit during the weeks-long
journey prohibited anyone outside of the growing regions from
enjoying the sensational flavor of the mangosteen. But, some
have suggested that thanks to the Queen’s admirable quest, the
fruit achieved the heralded title, “Queen of Fruits,” a name
still used by mangosteen adorers around the globe.
Discovering Mangosteen: Joe's Story
The story of XanGo ® is straight and
simple—It starts with one man and a café, and ends…well, it
doesn’t end. And that’s the best part of the story.
Joe Morton knew something was out there,
something that would change the nutritional supplement
landscape. He kept his eyes open; he scoured street markets and
rural gardens. He had seen groundbreaking products before—aloe
vera, cayenne, echinacea—and realized that the next revolution
was just around the corner. And, as he sat in an open-air café
in Southeast Asia, Joe found what he’d been looking for. Only it
wasn’t quite what he expected. The waiter delivered a fruit
unlike any other, the revered and celebrated mangosteen fruit.
The flavor was initially and completely sensational. Sweet, yet
not overwhelming. Smooth, yet consistently intriguing. It defied
description and invited inspection. His interest piqued, Joe
asked questions. And answers arrived in piles. The mangosteen
was a dual-powered wonder, a fusion of fantastic flavor and
health-promoting benefits. Almost sleeplessly attracted to its
rare power, Joe immediately recognized the potential of the
practically unknown mangosteen fruit. Fueled by the desire to
share the mangosteen with the world, Joe dug deeper. He enlisted
the research skills of medical professionals. And found stacks
of supporting research. The findings even outpaced Joe’s eternal
optimism. And, with decades of research and studies, Joe knew
that it was time for the world to learn about the Queen of
Fruits, the mangosteen.
From Mangosteen to XanGo
®
XanGo ® (derived from the words
XANthones and manGOsteen) is the first, the original mangosteen
supplement, a true category creator. Today, Joe Morton’s vision
has been confirmed. Existing mangosteen research has been
validated with thousands of individual accounts in dozens of
countries. The whole-fruit formula of XanGo ® Juice delivers a
host of essential and complementary nutrients, including the
potent antioxidant properties of xanthones—a vigorous family of
phytonutrients found abundantly in the rind of the mangosteen
fruit.
