Investigating Mangosteen

The first scientific article on the mangosteen's medicinal properties was written hundreds of years ago. At the present time, researchers in countries around the world have produced numerous scientific papers on the mangosteens medicinal properties. The majority of these papers focus on the biologically active ingredients unique to mangosteen, the xanthones. Hundreds of other scientific studies validate the utility and properties of those nutrients (proanthocyanidins) and catechins) which the mangosteen shares with other well known botanicals such as green tea and grape seeds.
