Do you Know Whait is a ORAC Score for Mangosteen? or xantohnes

[admin]

There is a reported Brunswick Labs ORAC value for mangosteen juice of 57,623, but several products seem to be claiming that value and we can't verify what was originally tested.

Being new to the antioxidant supplement world I was introduced to a new product called JUS which has an ORAC Score of 8687 per oz. and it compared to Mangosteen at 1010 per oz. There are other drink supplements out there, but I have not found one that scores higher than JUS and has more vitamins, minerals & compounds.

Look at Synaura Avia instead...........http://www.discoveravia.com/avia4life
It is maqui berry based and I think if you read about the formula you'll be happy with what you see.

Hi
Just for sharing knowledge here are some facts about the Mangosteen fruit:

"Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) is a fruit widely grown in the Asian tropics. The hard skin of the fruit is dark purple-brown and is the size and shape of a tangerine. It has 5-8 fruit segments that are soft, cream-colored and juicy.
Scientific research confirms that a variety of xanthones can be isolated from mangosteen plants and fruits including the hull, rind, heartwood, and flesh. There have been several studies that verify this, some reporting as many as six different types of xanthones found in the mangosteen fruit.
Xanthones are a class of polyphenolic compounds that commonly occur in plants and have been shown to have extensive biological activities. Recently, the properties of xanthones in the cardiovascular system have attracted great interest. Xanthones and xanthone derivatives have been shown to have beneficial effects on maintaining cardiovascular health. The yceum anc effects of xanthones in the cardiovascular system may be due to their antioxidant properties. In particular, the antagonism of endogenous nitric oxide synthase inhibitors by xanthones may represent the basis for maintaining endothelial function."
