Tropical Fruit Can Help Your Health (NAPSA)—About the size of a peach, with a dark purple rind and white center, the mangosteen fruit, or Garcinia mangostana, has been revered for its health benefits and touted for its delicious taste. This tropical fruit, found primarily in Southeast Asia, is composed of a rind, pulp and seeds. Known to most natives as the “Queen of Fruits,” the mangosteen is the leader amongall other botanicals in containing xanthones—a family of vigorous phytonutrients with significant antioxidant properties. Research shows the mangosteen fruit, especially the rind, is nature’s greatest source of xanthones. More than 40 xanthones have been identified in the exotic fruit. Studies show that xanthones promote several health benefits—from supporting immune-system health to promoting cartilage and joint function.* Xanthones can help maintain the integrity of the stomach’s lining and a healthy seasonal respiratory system.* According to Asian folklore, the mangosteen was used by countless generations to treat dysentery, diarrhea and urinary tract infections, and topically to treat eczema and other skin and wound @ disorders. Traditionally, the pericarp of the mangosteen fruit, which consists of the pulp and the rind, was used to control fever and wardoff infections. Unavailable to be imported into the United States, the man- gosteen fruit is now available to consumers in the form of a beverage.
