Xanthones

What are xanthones? They are chemical compounds that are found in certain plants. These compounds are believed to fight certain conditions such as heart disease, preventing heart attacks, strokes, lower cholesterol, and reduce C reactive protein (CRP) levels. Elevated CRP levels indicate that there is an inflammation process taking place inside the body.

They are most commonly extracted from the mangosteen fruit to help fight against diseases and it is believed that these ancient "phytochemicals" have been healing people for centuries.

Where is the mangosteen fruit found? Mangosteen is a tropical plant. The fruit is round and it is dark to red purple and smooth on the outside. It is found in Cambodia, Indonesia, China, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Independent research claims that these compounds have a lot more benefits other than those listed above.

There is a lot of research done about these chemicals but the products have not been approved by the FDA. If you are thinking about using a natural product like xango juice or anything of that kind, please make sure you consult your Doctor.
