"Let Food Be Your Medicine"  -- Hippocrates

There has been extensive scientific research done on the antioxidants found in vitamins -- especially Vitamin C & E. Now science has discovered Xanthones - a much more powerful antioxidant than those found in vitamins. Xanthones are also known as "adaptagens" for their unique ability to adapt and assist the body in many areas.

What are Xanthones?

Xanthones are biologically active plant phenols found in a few select tropical plants.  Current research on xanthones suggests they are beneficial in helping with many conditions including: inflammation, allergies, infections (microbial, fungus, viral), cholesterol levels, skin disorders, gastro-intestinal disorders, and fatigue.

Xanthones have been found to support and enhance the body's immune system. Xanthones also exhibit strong antioxidant activity which is beneficial for neutralizing free radicals in the body.

Xanthones are some of the most potent antioxidants known.  It is thought to be more potent than both Vitamin C and Vitamin E. In fact, many doctors refer to xanthones as "Super Antioxidants."

• Xanthones help maintain intestinal health;
• Xanthones help maintain a healthy immune system;
• Xanthones help neutralize free radicals;
• Xanthones help support cartilage and joint function; and
• Xanthones help maintain a healthy seasonal respiratory system.

The most plentiful natural source of xanthones is the mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana), which contains over 30 xanthones.  The mangosteen has by far the most xanthones of any plant.  The pericarp of the mangosteen fruit contains the vast majority of the xanthones. 

Over 200 xanthones have been identified. There is a rising interest in a number of these xanthones as numerous of them are among the strongest anti-radicals and anti-oxigens, anti-ging and related diseases, and anti-cancerogenes. 
Many of these xanthones are found in the pericarp of the mangosteen, (Garcinia mangostana).   Currently, there are 43 xanthones known to be in the mangosteen.

Medical Properties of Xanthones:

Research on Xanthones is ongoing.  There are many results people report about health benefits from xanthones that cannot be explained by the science yet.  This is likely due to the fact that only about 15% of known xanthones have been studied to any degree.

A recent study has confirmed that gamma mangostin, a xanthones derivative found in the mangosteen, is a potent COX (Cyclooxgenase) 2 inhibitor.  The COX 2 enzyme is a chemical in the body that causes inflammation.  This enzyme is commonly found in people suffering from joint pain and arthritis.  However, it is also being found with other diseases as well, that are not as obvious, such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, cancer, and Diabetes. In three separate studies, a xanthones derivative of the mangosteen slowed down the body's production of the COX 2 enzyme.
