is the original mangosteen dietary supplement.

What
are xanthones?
While most people know about the antioxidant benefits of
vitamins C and E, far fewer are aware of the incredibly
potent antioxidant power of xanthones. Xanthones are natural
chemical substances that have won high praise from numerous
scientists and researchers. Xanthones have been studied
for their medicinal potential, since they demonstrate a
number of pharmaceutical properties.

Why the name
“XanGo”?
XanGo derives its name from two words: XAN from
xanthones and GO from mangosteen.
^ top
Why hasn’t
a mangosteen dietary supplement been brought to market before
XanGo™ Juice?
Many researchers around the world have wondered this same
thing. The mangosteen and its xanthone-rich pericarp, or
rind, have been used in traditional medicine for thousands
of years, and xanthones have been the subject of extensive
positive scientific research. But until Joe Morton and the
other founders of XanGo took the steps necessary to bring
this fruit and its benefits to the world, no one else saw
the vision. XanGo is the original, a true category creator.

Is XanGo™
Juice approved by the FDA?
As a dietary supplement, XanGo is considered a food, and
does not therefore require FDA approval. The FDA does not
offer opinions on or approval of dietary supplements. Independent
laboratory testing confirms the safety and purity of all
components of XanGo™ Juice.

Where
does the mangosteen fruit come from?
Although this exotic fruit can be grown in any location
offering a tropical climate, it is native to Southeast Asia.
^ top
Is
the harvesting of the mangosteen fruit environmentally friendly?
Protecting the environment is important to XanGo. If only
for this reason, XanGo would always use care in harvesting.
But there is a practical reason, as well. It takes many
years for the mangosteen tree to mature and produce fruit.
Because of this, it is critical that the care of the tree
and all harvesting techniques meet the highest of standards.

Is the mangosteen
related to the mango?
Except for a similar name, the two fruits are very different.
The mangosteen comes from the rare Garcinia genus
of plants.
^ top
What
are the ingredients in XanGo™ Juice?
The ingredients of XanGo are listed in order of quantity
in the formula. The ingredients are: Mangosteen (Garcinia
mangostana) from whole fruit juice, apple fruit juice,
pear fruit juice, grape fruit juice, pear fruit puree, blueberry
fruit juice, raspberry fruit juice, strawberry fruit juice,
cranberry fruit juice, cherry fruit juice, citric acid,
natural flavor, pectin, xanthan gum and sodium benzoate.

Why
are there other ingredients besides mangosteen in XanGo™
Juice?
While the mangosteen pericarp is rich in xanthones, it tastes
very bitter. This bitter flavor can fight with the naturally
delicious pulp inside the fruit. Because of this, additional
natural fruit juices are blended, according to a patented
formula, to create Xango’s unique taste.
^ top
Is
the amount of xanthones per bottle standardized?
Yes. Because of an exacting process, each bottle of XanGo
contains the same amount of xanthones.
^ top
Why
does it seem that some bottles have more pericarp than others?
The pericarp, or rind, of the mangosteen is rich in natural
xanthones. Even when pureed, the pericarp elements remain
a solid suspended in liquid. Every bottle contains the same
XanGo formula, but because settling occurs, some bottles
will seem to contain more solids. Simply shake vigorously
before serving.
^ top
What is the
recommended intake of XanGo™ Juice?
1-3 oz. daily. However, many people choose to vary from
this amount, tailoring consumption to their personal preferences.
^ top
Should
I continue taking vitamins and minerals if I drink XanGo™
Juice regularly?
Absolutely. XanGo contains natural xanthones from the whole
fruit of the mangosteen that are not present in vitamins
and minerals, and, likewise, vitamins and minerals have
benefits that may not be present in XanGo in the amounts
wanted.
^ top
Is
it safe to take XanGo™ Juice with medications?
We know of no harmful interactions between the XanGo product
and any medication. But it is important to be safe, so it’s
always best to consult your physician if you have any questions.
^ top
Is XanGo™
Juice safe for senior citizens, children and lactating and
pregnant women?
Yes. XanGo is made from the whole-fruit puree of the mangosteen
fruit. It is similar to eating any common fruit. The only
real difference between mangosteen and other fruits is the
high concentration of beneficial xanthones found in the
Garcinia mangostana. The amount of XanGo consumed
may be varied for the body size of a person, and you should
always check with a trusted physician before beginning any
new dietary program.

How
safe is the production of XanGo™ Juice?
We have a strategic production partnership with WILD Flavors
Inc., the ISO 9001-certified food-and-beverage-industry
giant. Before you consume XanGo it goes through more than
220 quality tests to ensure it meets the highest standards
of cleanliness and quality in the world.
^ top
Is XanGo™
Juice pasteurized or heat processed?
Yes. Government regulations require either pasteurization
for the safety of consumers or a warning label of possible
microbial contamination in products that are not pasteurized.
Extensive research reveals that these processes do not affect
the xanthone content or efficacy in XanGo.
^ top
Are
there any preservatives in XanGo™ Juice?
Sodium benzoate is added to ensure the safety of XanGo.
Sodium benzoate carries the GRAS (Generally Recognized As
Safe) designation by the FDA. It is used as an antimicrobial
agent in very small amounts, and is added as part of the
world-recognized Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) in food
and beverage processing.

shelf life of XanGo™ Juice?

of sugars are used in XanGo™ Juice?
