Some Tips on Purchasing Mangosteen Products
As of now you cannot buy the Mangosteen fruit in any store or market in the United States. Look for juices or extracts.

The Mangosteen should be the primary ingredient. It will be listed as Mangosteen or Garcinia Mangostana.

The Mangosteen pericarp (rind) contain all the beneficial compounds Xanthones. The pericarp is very astringent and is difficult to eat (or drink) by itself. Some products contain other juices to make it taste good. Be carefull that these products don't have too many "fillers". See the products page for recommended whole-fruit products.

Look for "Mangosteen Whole Fruit" or "Whole Fruit Puree of Mangosteen". This will contain the pericarp and also the pulp and seeds which has nutritional value.

Juice vs Pills
There is the debate on whether to take Juices or Pills. Many believe that only the Juice is closest to the purest form, saving all the properities found in the fruit. There is also studies showing that juices are better absorbed in the body compared to pills (95% compared to 10%). It is up to you to research the pros and cons of Juices vs Pills, and what is more convenient for you. We recommend consuming Mangosteen in juice form, and most of the testimonials on this site are from people who have used Mangosteen Juice.

Recommendation:
We recommend Juice products that have the Whole Fruit Mangosteen in it. This will guarantee it has the nutrients for maximum health benefits. Take 1-3oz. three times a day with meals. Take it for prevention, take it for health problems.
Try it, you just might like the results!
