Xango
Below you'll find lots of information and science about the Manogsteen fruit and Xango, but basically this is the only product I endorse and recommend. I use it on myself daily to help with my allergies and keep my immune system strong, and I give it to my dogs every day as well. Casper is able to walk on all four legs again because of Xango. Having his physical issues dealt with quickly enables the Reiki to go to the deeper cause and work even more effectively. This juice is amazing and helps us to heal ourselves by going directly to the cause, not just masking symptoms. When we combine physical healing with energetic healing, the results can be powerful.
From the rich lush rainforest of Southeast Asia comes a fruit (the Mangosteen) so heavenly in taste Queen Victoria of England referred to it as "The Queen of Fruits". This fruit (about the size of a tangerine and dark purple in color) has been used and revered for centuries in folk medicine, by Ayurvedic healers and in Chinese preparations as a primary source of medicinal healing.
What is amazing is the Mangosteen has never been utilized for its scientifically proven health benefits in the Western hemisphere and Europe until recently despite its history and popularity in Southeast Asia and South America.
In India and China, preparations made from the rind of the fruit have been used for centuries as anti-microbial and anti-parasitic treatments for dysentery and other infectious disease.
In Thailand, villagers of all ages use the Mangosteen to treat infected wounds, skin disorders (such as eczema and psoriasis), malaria and urinary tract infections.
In South America, tea made from the Mangosteen is used as a tonic for fatigue and low energy levels, a condition that has reached epidemic proportions in North America.
The Filipinos employ the fruit extract to control fever, heal skin lesions and provide relief from sore muscles and aching joints.
Even Buddhist monks in Southeast Asia have kept records of its use for treating many different diseases.
Although the people from these countries have benefited from the medicinal uses of the Mangosteen for centuries, most of the world (especially North America) have never heard of it until now.
Available as a functional health beverage for the first time in North America in the fall of 2002, this well kept secret of nature is receiving rave reviews, praise and research from the medical community. With over 50 research studies from schools of pharmacy and schools of medicine around the world, modern medicine has only begun to discover the unlimited benefits this one single fruit has to offer.
With 210 known Xanthones in nature, over 40 have been discovered in this single fruit (no other fruit or vegetable has been found to have more than 8).
While most people know about the antioxidant benefits of Vitamins C and E, far fewer are aware of the incredibly potent antioxidant power of Xanthones. They are natural chemical substances that have recently won high praise from numerous scientists and researchers. Xanthones have been studied for their medicinal potential, since they demonstrate a number of pharmaceutical properties such as supporting microbiological balance, maintaining immune system health, promoting joint flexibility and providing positive mental support.
What's remarkable is that the Mangosteen, not just the inner flesh, but the whole fruit, represents the single greatest known supply of these tremendously beneficial Xanthones found anywhere in nature. The pericarp, or rind, of the Mangosteen is particularly rich in Xanthones, which represent the next generation of powerful phytonutrients; phytonutrients that will change the future of dietary supplements industry. The proprietary formulation (Xango) featuring the Mangosteen whole fruit puree, utilizing all the Xanthone-laden components of the fruit brings a wealth of incredible benefits to every system in the body!
As an Antioxidant
So, the question is, 'how does the Xango product stack up in terms of antioxidant (anti-aging) ability?' To answer this question, several products were sent to the WORLD EXPERT in antioxidant testing, Dr. Boxin Ou, PhD.
The test conducted is called the ORAC test. ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. It measures the antioxidant ability/capacity of the product being tested. This test is also recognized by the USDA (US Dept. of Agriculture) and the AMA (American Medical Assoc.) as the 'gold-standard' for measuring antioxidant ability in both foods and supplements.
Here are the test results for 32 servings of each of the following products:
Product ORAC score
SeaSilver® 2,880
Tahitian Noni Juice® 5,280
Goji Juice T 12,499
Berry Young Juice® 31,552
Xango® 40,704
It's also important to remember that the other products don't have anywhere near the level of xanthones that Xango does. So while one product may have a very high number, it's not going to address the other health issues that Xango will - in addition to the amazing antioxidant ability.
