A nutritional supplement that acts as an antioxidant, exerting remarkable effects on cardiovascular health, with anti-inflammatory and antibiotic effects.
Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) is one of the most important and popular "superfruits". Because of its unique properties, it is called "the king of tropical fruits". The effects of mangosteen are attributed to xanthones, powerful antioxidants that act favourably on aspects such as the immune system. It is made from a 10:1 extract of mangosteen pericarp, and is standardized to 10% alpha-mangostin. Alpha-mangostin is one of the most prominent representatives of the xanthones.
Caution is advised in people already taking conventional antihistamines.
