Mangosteen

[kiMMie]

Anyone heard of this fruit and the benefits of the fruit's juice? I was on shift yesterday and saw some literature sitting at my desk and found it interesting. Apparently it has some great health benefits to it, and one of my staff said that a lot of cultures overseas do rely on this fruit for medical purposes.

6. Anxyolytic (anti-anxiety effect)
7. Anti-Alzheimerian (helps prevent dementia)

9. Immunomodulator (multiple categories cited) - helps the immune system
10. Anti-aging

im really skeptical about these products.

[kiMMie]

It's not really a product, but a fruit. I'm sure that a lot of people have now took the fruit to commercialize it. I work with a group of women from the Phillipines, and apparently some eat this fruit when they are back home visiting and state that it's great for their health.

also aids with hangovers. and is delicious!

it is fantastic. my patient took this daily. although the product he took (xango) claimed that you only needed to take it for 3 months for the benefits.

worth the $50 per bottle, but you only need a shot a day.

The price is the only drawback.

Sadly there is no scientific evidence that it does any of those, they normally bill it as being rich in nutrients, antioxidants and having the ability to lower the risk of disease. Can't back it up tho, its amazing what the body can do if the mind truly believes its taking a wonder drug tho. One of your sources, Mangosteen: A Friendly Skeptic Looks at Mangosteen , the only one written by a doctor clarifies this.

Fresh has a new Mangosteen scent and I fell in love with it in NY.
Fresh Fragrance - Mangosteen

it is absoluetly amazing. my mom lives by that stuff and was hooked by a friend and has since had many other friends swear by it too. my mom had serious back problems and her energy level is usually low from the kids but when she started taking this stuff she felt like it was a miracle drink.

$50 is steep but when you are only doing 1 shot a day as avana stated it goes a long way.

hmm im gona check this stuff out, i already take like 30pills in the morning might as well add this shit too :)

haha ya i was gona say its benefit profile pretty much looks the same as every other fruit out there :) but you would be suprised how much of a difference taking even a multi vitamin can make after a few weeks.

[jenai]

i dunno.

the last skeptic who was a doctor would agree with a shrink that antidepressants can safely be given to children.

mangosteen juice works, but only when complemented with the usual 4+ days of exercise and socializing.

tho, i prefer sauerkraut - it is a good stomachic, and have had a yen for sour plums and rice (umeboshi and okayu).

The health benefits of such pickles is obvious.

I tried it...it was really tasty!

If it really DOES do all this stuff, it's the first of its kind. Any doctor will tell you there's so such thing that can cure or prevent such a wide range of illnesses. Seriously, ask around.
