Sometimes change is gradual. Other times, it occurs with a sudden invention, a blast of creativity and innovation, an unexpected discovery. But most of the time, it’s a combination of the two approaches that yield the most dynamic results. When immediate change and sustained evolution join forces, the results can be incredible. Just look at the sweeping and complete effect of the internet over the past 10 years. The same can be said for the nutrition industry. Words like aloe vera and gingko biloba were largely unknown; now they’re household standards. You’ll find them on a shelf at the corner supermarket. And now it’s time for your introduction to the next paradigm-shifting explosion: the mangosteen fruit and the company that first brought it to market, XanGo. While you surely enjoy a good chuckle as much as anyone, your health is no laughing matter. And you know that finding the perfect supplement can be a challenge.
Some promise surprising health benefits but taste so terrible that you’d never want to try them out. Others taste fine, but are little more than watered down placebos. That’s what makes XanGo Juice incredible. XanGo harnesses the bold nutritional value of the whole mangosteen fruit. You get supercharged antioxidants–known as xanthones–and at the same time, you treat your tastebuds to a tongue-waggling experience. And that’s a good reason for the buzz you might have heard about XanGo. So now let me give you the straight scoop on the wonderful mangosteen fruit. About the size of a tangerine, the ripe mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) boasts a smooth, deep purple rind and a sweet, mild, angel-white fruit. For hundreds, even thousands of years, the people of Southeast Asia have enjoyed the smooth, sweet taste of the mangosteen.
At the same time, they’ve used the pericarp (rind) to treat a number of common health problems. Grown primarily in the tropical regions of Southeast Asia, the mangosteen has been used traditionally to fight infection and contain fever. With such valued medicinal properties, most people would expect a fruit with an “acquired” (not-so-nice) flavor. Not the mangosteen. Heavenly from the first bite, the mangosteen fuses the best of both worlds–scientific benefits with blockbuster taste that earns the distinction, “Queen of Fruits.”
