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.
xan·thone – n. C13H8O2 a unique class of biologically active compounds possessing numerous bioactive capabilities, such as antioxidant properties. Xanthones—found in the whole mangosteen fruit—may help maintain intestinal health, strengthen the immune system, neutralize free radicals, help support cartilage and joint function, and promote a healthy seasonal respiratory system.*
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.

I have heard of Xango because I used the product.
My sister and I used in for three months until
we both got sick on it and started throwing up.
Of course, we discontinued the product.
My sister was already diagnosed with lung cancer.
I hope that it would strengthen her immune system
but it just didn't work out that way. For me I just
couldn't handle it either.
It is different for everybody. You can't say for
sure that a product will do certain things.
I am sure that Xango has helped many people.
It just didn't helped the two of us.
