Mangosteen concentrate

Whole mangosteen fruit is concentrated into an extract with a standardized level of xanthones. The concentrate provides more xanthones, and a more predictable amount, than fresh fruit or plain juice. People turn to this extract mainly for daily antioxidant support. Others use it to help keep the immune system strong, encourage a balanced inflammatory response, or settle mild digestive complaints. You can take it as a liquid concentrate stirred into water or juice, or as a capsule. Most take it once or twice a day, often with a meal. Mangosteen might slow blood clotting. Exercise caution if you are facing surgery or already take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs. It may also reduce blood sugar, so anyone on diabetes medication should keep a close watch.
