In
Asia, the mangosteen fruit is known as the "Queen of
Fruits" and has been widely used as a traditional remedy
for centuries.
Mangosteens
are rich in mangostin, a powerful Xanthone, a naturally occuring
organic compound.
There
is a rising interest in a number of these xanthones as numerous
of them are among the strongest anti-radicals and anti-oxigenes,
anti-aging and related deseases, anti-cancerogenes
Many of these xanthones are found in the pericarp of the mangosteen
fruit (Garcinia mangostana), which can be found in the region
of Thailand and Cambodia.

Mangosteen
juice is rich in antioxidants and provides immune support.
Possible
uses?
Mangosteen
juice appears to improve certain conditions, such as dehydration
or diarrhea associated with dysentery, and, people are using
it as a treatment for Crohn's Disease. Also as a topical poultice
to keep cuts from getting infected.
Yet
it's been widely advertised as having the qualities of an
anti-histamine, anti-aging ointment, antibiotic, anti-viral,
and anti-inflammatory.

Cancer
therapy?
In
one test tube experiment it was shown that a xanthone found
in mangosteen kills cancer cells as effectively as many chemotherapeutic
drugs.
It
also appears (on the basis of limited data) that compounds
found abundantly in mangosteen can inhibit the harmful Cox
1 and Cox 2 enzymes, and can also induce programmed cell death
(apoptosis) in aberrant cells (Ho 2002).
Mangosteen
thus joins a fairly long list of naturally derived compounds
that might potentially have some anticancer activity.
