The mangosteen fruit is of Asian origin. In spite of a similar name, it is unrelated to the mango. It is a small purple tropical fruit with a thick rind (sometimes called the pericarp). It has long been used by traditional Eastern medecine for its many health benefits, especially in Thailand. It is extremely high in xanthones, a powerful class of antioxidants. It contains more than twenty different xanthones. The health benefits of this delicious fruit can be had conveniently by drinking the juice. Below is a list of some of the known health benefits of the mangosteen fruit and its juice.

It Helps Prevent Cancer

Like any food high in antioxidants, it helps protect the body against free radicals and thereby helps reduce the risk of developing cancer. Nutrient dense foods rich in natural fiber are also highly recommended as cancer fighting foods. This fruit certainly qualifies.

Mangosteen Juice Works As An Anti-Inflammatory

This property is known to help relieve the symptoms of inflammatory conditions like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. It does so without the harsh side effects typical of prescription anti-inflammatory drugs. Taking prescription drugs often leads to other problems which then get treated with additional prescription drugs. And round and round we go. If you can find a natural, nutrition based remedy for your symptoms, you can avoid or at least reduce this vicious cycle.

Antiviral Properties

It can help protect against or even kill viral infections, such as the flu or common cold. This is a type of infection for which modern Western medecine has very few effective treatments and tends to view as largely untreatable.

Antibacterial Properties Of Mangosteen Juice

It helps protect against and even kill bacterial infections, which is the type of infection for which harsh antibiotics are typically prescribed. Unlike prescription antibiotics, this fruit dies not destroy your gut ecology or cause diarrhea. In fact, it helps treat diarrhea and helps support good gut health.

Antifungal Properties

Another health benefit of mangosteen juice is is the fact that it helps protect against and even kill fungal infections, a class of infection that is notoriously hard to effectively treat. Most conventional Western treatments for fungal infections are very toxic and may still not get a fungal infection adequately under control.

Mangosteen Juice Lower Levels Of LDL Cholesterol

Mangosteen juice helps prevent the build up of plaque in the blood vessels, thus slowing the progression of atherosclerosis.

Helps protect against heart disease

It does this in part by helping to prevent atherosclerosis. But it also is more generally beneficial to heart health. Since heart disease can be very deadly, it is extremely important to be proactive and try to avoid developing it.

It helps promote healthy weight loss

Although many people would like to shed a few pounds, it is not worth destroying your baseline health in the process. The safe, sane way to try to achieve an optimal healthy weight is by consuming extremely nutrient dense “super foods”. With the rich abundance of xanthones found in mangosteen, this fruit can certainly be called a “super food”.

It helps reduce fever

This is a quality it shares with some other exotic fruits. One reason fruits help reduce fever is because they are typically a more effective means to combat dehydration than plain water. Simply staying adequately hydrated can help reduce a fever by a full degree, which is sometimes enough by itself to break a fever. However it likely also helps reduce fever because ut helps combat a number of infections. In most cases, fever is the body’s attempt to kill infection. If you find another means to effectively kill infection, that can break a fever.

Mangosteen Juice  Helps Stabilize Blood Sugar Levels

Ironically, some of the same foods which help protect against diabetes (high blood sugar) also help protect against hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). They do this by helping to stabilize the blood sugar. Foods rich in certain forms of natural fiber share this property and mangosteen is one of them.

These were the most well known and common health benefits if mangosteen juice.
