XanGo, via Wild Flavors, harvests our fruit from privately owned and operated mangosteen orchards that are completely free of pesticides. Using privately owned and operated mangosteen orchards allows control to what the fruit is exposed to and protects the environment from deforestation. We are asked about a website frequently, naturalhomecures.com. What I can tell you is that many of the claims made on this and other similar sites, do not relate to XANGO. Assuming you are familiar with the Natural Home Cures site here is some information that may be helpful in understanding the quality of XANGO.
Pesticides: We do not use pesticides. In fact pesticides are unnecessary
when it comes to the mangosteen fruit as the pericarp (rind) of the mangosteen
fruit is so bitter that most bugs and pests do not bother it.
Irradiation: Irradiation is a common form of "cleaning" fresh
fruits and vegetables when being brought into the United States. Due to the
natural processes that XANGO uses to harvest and import the whole fruit puree
of the mangosteen, it does not undergo irradiation.
Pasteurization: Federal Law requires pasteurization, or a warning label of
possible microbial contamination in products that are not pasteurized. We do pasteurize our juice for this purpose.
Extensive research shows that the processes of flash freezing and
pasteurization do not affect xanthone content or efficacy.
Pericarp: XANGO is the only company that uses 100% of the mangosteen
fruit, that includes the rind (pericarp) of the fruit in a fruit juice
beverage. Generally when others claim to use the entire fruit they are
referencing the white pulpy fruit in the middle. When they claim to be using
the pericarp they are generally referencing scraping taken from the inside of
the rind or extracts of the pericarp which provides only alpha mangostin.
When it comes down to the potency of powder verses liquid
there is absolutely no comparison. Dried powders and spiked or standardized
extracts are a poor substitute for the natural form. Powders and extracts are a
way to reduce costs and simplify the manufacturing process. In order to dry
down or concentrate the xanthones other healthful substances in the fruit must
be discarded. Some of the wonderful water soluble substances found in the
mangosteen fruit include proanthocyanadins (the active substance in grape seed
extract), catechins (the active substance in green tea) and other health
beneficial bioflavonoids all of which are lost when the fruit is dried down or
xanthones are extracted.
The mangosteen fruit contains 39 known xanthones, the
majority of those being found in the pericarp. When it comes to arguments about
the xanthone potency of capsules verses juice; it is important to note that the
use of the entire fruit is always going to be better than using select parts of
the fruit. When converting the mangosteen fruit into capsule form it is
impossible to get the entire fruit into capsule that can only hold 400-600
milligrams.
ORAC: When it comes to antioxidants and ORAC scores studies that
have been performed it has been revealed that more is not necessarily better as
our bodies peak at a certain amount. When that limit has been reached the
xanthones no longer have the effect that they had while consuming lesser
amounts. We deliver efficacious doses of
xanthones that we know are absorbed and utilized by the body. That is way we
recommend 1-3 oz periodically throughout the day. We have recently completed
the first human clinical trial on XANGO Juice.
This study was a double-blind placebo controlled human clinical
trial. The paper has been submitted for
publication and until it has been accepted, we cannot release the actual
results of the study. In this study we
showed: that xanthones, from XANGO Juice, are bioavailable and absorbed into
the bloodstream, inflammatory markers
were significantly decreased, cardiovascular disease markers were significantly
decreased and significant body mass was also decreased in an eight week period.
To sum up this research the Xanthones
found in XANGO juice are being found in the body and are working the way they
should. We are the first and only company to have these results.
Sugar: XANGO juice has no added sugar. There is 2.7g of sugar per
ounce of Mangosteen juice, making it a safe product to incorporate into a
healthy diet for both type 1 and type 2 diabetics as any fruit juice can be
incorporated by being cautious about the sugar content in other foods consumed.
Even though XANGO Juice has not been tested specifically for benefits it would
have on diabetes, Dr. Templeman has studied the benefits that the mangosteen
fruit has on both Type I and Type II diabetes. He has found that the mangosteen
fruit helps to "Improve glycemic (blood sugar) control as the amplitude of
blood sugar fluctuations are significantly reduced" and "Decrease in
the frequency of infection"(Re: The 90 Day Mangosteen Action Plan by Dr.
Templeman pg. 18).
