Mangosteen Juice

Marketing materials used to promote mangosteen juice indicate more than 20 human health benefits, among which are “anti-inflammatory,” “anti-microbial,” “anti-fungal,” “anti-viral,” “anti-cancer,” “anti-ulcer,” “anti-hepatotoxic,” “anti-rhinoviral,” and “anti-allergic”[24]. Promotional literature for the product cites antioxidants from the inedible rind of the fruit as providing health benefits. None of these claims, however, has scientific proof established by peer-reviewed research and human clinical trials, as discussed below
XanGo Juice is a blend of mangosteen aril and pericarp purée[8] with juices of eight other fruits: apple, pear (juice and purée), grape, blueberry, raspberry, strawberry, cranberry and cherry.[19]

XanGo claims its juice maintains the structure of xanthone compounds from the mangosteen pericarp which also contains other polyphenols such as oligomeric proanthocyanidins.[20] Chromatographic analyses have isolated selected xanthones in mangosteen pericarp,[21][22] providing confirmation that pericarp xanthone content is quantifiable. Although XanGo claims the epigallocatechin gallate found in green tea is slightly more abundant in mangosteen pericarps,[23] this difference has not been systematically studied and published.
As part of its report on the financial success of XanGo, the Associated Press commissioned the Linus Pauling Institute to analyze and compare the antioxidant capacity of XanGo juice among other common fruit juices. XanGo was slightly higher than cranberry and apple juice, but lower than black cherry and contained less than half the amount of antioxidants found in blueberry juice.[8]
