Mangosteen Juice or Powdered Supplement?

For most of the world, finding fresh mangosteens is next to impossible since Mangosteen trees only grow well in ultra-tropical locations. Fortunately for the rest of us, there are many Mangosteen products available both online and in health foods stores. Any store that sells vitamins and minerals, is sure to carry a variety of Mangosteen products these days.

Mangosteen is readily available in various forms. You can even buy frozen, canned or dried Mangosteen, but if you only limit yourelf to the edible fruit, you lose the benefits of the potent xanthones found in the rind of the fruit. Your best source for accessing any of the health benefits associated with the rare fruit is with a liquid or powdered Mangosteen supplement. The most popular, and costly, is Mangosteen juice, which is also available as a juice puree or juice concentrate. The rind may be dried and powdered and substances are also extracted from its bark. As a result, the most convenient and least expensive form of Mangosteen will be found in tablets or capsules.

Mangosteen Juice
Often referred to as the “Queen of Fruit,” the Mangosteen is said to have a sweet, creamy, and delicious taste with hints of pear, strawberry and grape.

Legend has it that Queen Victoria offered a cash reward to anyone who could deliver the and exotic Mangosteen to her.

Because the active xanthone compounds are found in the rind, rather than in the edible fruit, Mangosteen powder made from the rind is often added to Mangosteen juice to provide more antioxidant power to the juice mix. Most juice labels will advise consumers to “shake” the bottle before drinking to ensure the powder is well blended.

Mangosteen juice may also contain the juices of other fruits to enhance flavor or maximize potential health benefits. When buying Mangosteen juice, be sure to check the label to determine how much Mangosteen the product contains. One of the popular juices sold by network marketers does not disclose the percentage of Mangosteen contained in their juice. We don’t recommend that you purchase any product that doesn’t fully disclose the contents. Otherwise, you may end up buying little more than overpriced fruit juice.

Remember that the rich antioxidants are found in the rind or pericarp, not in the fruit itself. Look for products that are made from the whole fruit and contain the pulp and the rind to receive the full benefit of some 40 xanthones as well as the advantage of powerful flavonoids.
