Mangosteen
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 been used traditionally as early as 600 AD to treat a variety of conditions.
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 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 nutritional benefits. Almost sleeplessly attracted to its rare power, Joe immediately recognized the potential of the mangosteen fruit. Fueled by the desire to share the mangosteen with the world, Joe dug deeper. He enlisted the research skills of scientific 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® Juice (derived from the words XANthones and manGOsteen) is the first, the original mangosteen beverage, 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.
