Dr. Vaughn Johnson - All Mangosteen Juices Are NOT Created Equal

Here is the summary of the incredible presentation that Dr. Vaughn Johnson, M.D. recently did in Seattle. He conducted a study in his clinic with 47 patients to see whether their C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) numbers would be affected by introducing the Original (XANGO) Mangosteen Juice to their diets. CRP measures the level of inflammation (at the cellular DNA level) in the body.

Inflammation is all over the news. In fact, there was a front page article on MSN about a large study that seemed to show that people who were taking aspirin actually lived longer. Of course aspirin is an anti-inflammatory but like most drugs has numerous side effects.

Many of you may also have seen the video from PBS where they specifically discussed how this hs-CRP test was becoming a major marker for heart disease. To view a preview of the PBS video click here www.mymangosteen.com/pbs, if you have not yet viewed it!

Dr Johnson Presentation of 4/3/07


Dr Johnson did a clinical trial on the effect of Original (XANGO) Mangosteen juice on a marker for systemic inflammation; Highly Sensitive C- Reactive Protein (hs-crp). A level of 1.0 to 3.0 is considered normal. Greater than 3.0 is considered high risk.

Method:

  1. Take blood samples from 47 patients. Determine hs-CRP Levels.
  2. Administer 2 Oz of Original mangosteen juice per day. (1 in AM, 1 in PM)
  3. Continue for 30 days.
  4. Take blood samples and measure hs-CRP again.

Two ounces was selected as the dose so that two bottles would last one month.

Results: All of the 38 patients who returned for the follow up test lowered their hs-CRP levels into the normal range. 9 patients did not return for their follow up test. The following table lists typical results.

Sample #........Initial........30 Days

1.......................55.0.............2.7
2
.......................26.0.............1.3
3
.......................12.6.............1.8
4
.......................8.4...............2.2
5
.......................6.8...............1.1


Comments: The above five samples were selected for illustration purposes because after the completion of the test all of these individuals stopped taking the Original (XANGO) Mangosteen and took other mangosteen based products instead.

Other mangosteen products: All five returned to their initial high risk CRP levels after using the other mangosteen products. In fact, sample 2 increased to 28, i.e. two points above the initial value. Dr. Johnson then put each of these patients back on Original Mangosteen juice and all of the CRP numbers came back down.

Dr. Johnson concluded that all mangosteen supplements are not created equal and that the whole fruit puree, Original (XANGO) Mangosteen formula produced the results he has witnessed due to the synergy of all of the 43+ Xanthones and other components working together. All of the other products had "extracts" and not the whole fruit only found in the Original Mangosteen Juice!

Just a suggestion - the next time you have your physical examination and blood work, ASK FOR A CRP (Blood Test) TEST!!!!

A Look at Xanthones and Mangosteen

by Leslie Martin

We've all heard the news for years about how important it is to get the right amount of antioxidants in order to keep our bodies healthy and ward of disease. Now there's a new classification of antioxidants called xanthones, first discovered in the mangosteen fruit, which are poised to be one of the biggest discoveries of modern science in terms of health benefits.

While the concept of antioxidants may seem even more confusing when adding in another aspect, xanthones are fairly easy to understand, given their clear-cut, scientifically-proven benefits.

What are Xanthones?

Technically put, xanthones are a set of chemical compounds that can be synthetically produced, but are more often found and more potent in their natural settings. Xanthones are powerful antioxidants in a family of phytonutrients.

To date, researchers have discovered and classified approximately 200 xanthones, 40 of which are found in the mangosteen fruit. As a matter of fact, xanthones were first discovered when scientists began studying the health benefits of mangosteen based on its traditional indigenous medical uses.

Research into the medicinal properties of xanthones found in the mangosteen began in the 1970s, and gradually picked up pace as scientists began finding more exciting nutritional properties. Between 1996 and 2005, an exponential amount of research has been done in regards to mangosteen and its xanthones, and even more studies are in the works.

Xanthones in Mangosteen

To recap, xanthones are powerful antioxidants, and out of the 200 xanthones known to science, 40 of them are found in mangosteen.

But what do the antioxidant properties of the xanthones in mangosteen do for you? Antioxidants function as a balance for free radicals in the body. Free radicals are potentially harmful, yet oftentimes natural substances in your body that, when left free reign, build up and cause diseases like cancer, heart disease, and more.

The xanthones function to travel through your body, literally mopping up the free radicals on their way, leaving your body cleaner and healthier than before.

Some of the most important xanthones found in mangosteen include:

Alpha-mangostin
Beta-mangostin
Gamma-mangostin
Garcinone
Garcinone A
Garcinone C
Garcinone D
Mangostanol
Gartanin

These, among other xanthones, have been touted by independent researchers to have properties to include antiinflammatory, anticonvulsant, antiallergic, antitumor, and antiplatelet, to name just a few.

Known Benefits of Xanthones

Scientific research has made it abundantly clear that no other fruit compares in its health benefits to mangosteen, due to its xanthones and other nutritional properties.

Helping to fight cancer is just one of the many properties that different xanthones perform. For instance, one study performed in Japan showed that the xanthone alpha-mangostin had apparent properties that suppressed the development of tumors. Another, performed in China, found the xanthone garcinone E to show significant anticancer effects in terms of liver, lung, and gastric cancer cells.

In addition, some xanthones have shown significant antimicrobial effects in terms of fighting MRSA (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus), which is a bacterial strain known for its tenacious resistance to pharmacologic antibiotics. One scientific study also showed that alpha-mangostin, beta-mangostin, and garcinone B to have pronounced inhibition effects on a strain of tuberculosis.

As if that isn't enough, xanthones have also been scientifically proven to help lower LDL, the bad cholesterol, by protecting the LDL from coming into contact with free radicals, thus leaving it unable to oxidize and attach to arterial walls and cause atherosclerosis.

Taking into account the anticancer, antiinflammatory, antimicrobial, and cholesterol-lowering effects of the xanthones found in mangosteen, here is just a sampling of the other many benefits that science has either researched or is in the process of discovering:

Antiviral
Helps lower blood pressure
Helps fight fatigue
Antidepressant
Prevents stomach ulcers
Aids with weight loss
Antiaging
Combats diarrhea
Pain reducer
Heart protective
Analgesic
Anti-parkinsonian and anti-Alzheimer
Lowers fevers
Builds immunity to disease
Antiallergen
Antifungal
Antiparasitic

Indeed, even now some health practitioners are suggesting drinking mangosteen juice for relief to people who suffer from the following diseases:

Infections
Skin ailments like psoriasis, seborrhea, or eczema
Joint problems and arthritis
Dementia
Anxiety and depression
Cancer
Chronic pain
Chronic fatigue syndrome
Ulcers
Diabetes

The Fruit with Xanthone Power

As time goes by, it's becoming less and less uncanny how traditional and folk medicine seems to have a grasp on the nutritional properties of food better than modern science has in the past. Indeed, it seems in some cases, especially in that of the mangosteen, science is working to catch up.

The mangosteen fruit is believed to have originated in the Moluccas and the Sunda Islands. It's been used for decades upon decades by people from Thailand, the Philippines, and China in folk medicine to treat dysentery, skin disorders like eczema, diarrhea and cystitis, among other ailments.

One of the reasons why mangosteen is only now gaining notoriety and popularity is because, for many years, direct importation of the fruit from other countries has been illegal, based on governmental regulations to help quarantine the Asian fruit fly. Unfortunately, the mangosteen tree doesn't grow well in most or all climates in the United States, so attempts to grow the fruit here have been relatively unsuccessful.

However, as science has begun proving the unsurpassed medical value of the rare mangosteen fruit and its xanthones, juices and preserves are becoming more and more readily available.

In terms of taste, the mangosteen itself is considered one of the most exquisitely delicious fruits nature has to offer. Often called the "Queen of Fruits," the taste of mangosteen is unique, but is often described as sweet and tangy with hints of pear, ripe strawberry, and grape.

After sampling mangosteen, it's easy to see why this fruit is so popular in Thailand due to its taste. And after learning about the benefits of the xanthones found in mangosteen, it's even more clear how nutritionally beneficial this amazing fruit is.

State of the Mangosteen Category: 2008

Here is some information taken from Xangonewscenter.com

XanGo CEO: “As the mangosteen market grows, leadership means setting new research standards, product innovation and ground-breaking brand-centric marketing”

Statement by Aaron Garrity, CEO of XanGo, LLC

LEHI, UT – Mar. 14, 2008 – The mangosteen is leading the race in superfruits and healthy foods, according to the 2008 Packaged Facts Food Flavours and Ingredients Outlook. XanGo LLC, the company that created the category when it introduced XanGo® Juice to a global market in 2003, continues to dominate the space, leading the category with more than 80 percent of market share*.

Setting scientific research standards

With scientific partners that include Northridge, Calif.-based Medicus Research, Weber State University and leading independent laboratories, XanGo is spearheading the scientific exploration of the whole mangosteen fruit through a tiered approach based on safety, standardization and efficacy.

As awareness and consumption of the mangosteen has increased worldwide, so has the need to better understand the fruit's most prominent phytonutrient, xanthones. Through XanGo's leadership, independent researchers have established a credible scientific method for testing and measuring xanthones.

Now, through this peer-reviewed, published study, category participants and consumers have a more consistent and reliable method of measuring and marketing mangosteen products relative to xanthone content claims.

A pre-clinical, preliminary 28-day study of XanGo Juice by Charles River Laboratories of Montreal identified the bioavailability of xanthones to determine how many xanthones are actually absorbed and the pathway they travel. Study director Susan McPherson, MSc, senior research scientist at Charles River Laboratories, said preliminary research findings demonstrate that the proprietary whole fruit formula in XanGo Juice leads to high levels of xanthone absorption.

Ongoing research shows high absorption of xanthones in defined dosages, with elements of the whole mangosteen fruit as a delivery vehicle. Unnaturally elevated levels of xanthone consumption actually were shown to result in decreased absorption efficiency.

Research shows artificially inflating or manipulating a product with xanthone extracts may not add any value. The mangosteen presents more value in its whole fruit form, as presented in XanGo Juice. There are many other phytochemicals found in the fruit that have beneficial effects, which are lost in extraction or jeopardized when the natural balance of the fruit is manipulated.

It's better to respect the mangosteen as nature intended. And honor the true definition of "whole fruit" usage. If you say it, you should mean it. Whole fruit is a promise and consumers want that access to the mangosteen. In keeping that promise, XanGo launched the leading consumer resource for mangosteen science, www.thewholefruit.com.

Consumers deserve product innovation

In a new era of consumer demand for the mangosteen, millions around the world are looking for access to the astonishing mangosteen fruit in a variety of fresh product vehicles. Consumers everywhere are clamoring to make the mangosteen a part of their active and healthy lifestyles.

During the past year, XanGo expanded the global reach of the category through expanded access to our flagship product, XanGo Juice to nearly one million distributors who operate now in more than 20 countries and territories.

Last spring, XanGo introduced XALO™ into European markets, where interest and sales have soared. XALO's formula combines the acclaim of aloe with the mangosteen to offer consumers a combination of great taste and vibrant nutritional benefits in a complete and complex functional beverage. Through this proprietary blend of some of the world's most celebrated botanicals, consumers may receive the following nutritional and antioxidant benefits: support of digestive health; revitalization and regeneration of healthy skin; improvement in proper absorption of vital nutrients; and a boost of natural energy levels.

In January, XanGo launched the XanGo Single, a one-ounce single-serving package of XanGo Juice allowing consumers the ease of carrying their recommended daily serving with them throughout the day.
New research shows the effectiveness of the mangosteen and xanthones in skin health and nutrition. Performance from mangosteen properties proved effective in improving age-related changes in the skin as well as enhancement of skin texture and touch. Another study demonstrated the mangosteen’s antioxidant punch in taking on acne-producing bacteria.

Later this year XanGo will launch a product line Glimpse, Intuitive Skin Care. GLIMPSE by XanGo is built to respond to specific skin care needs with an intelligent xanthone formulation that puts the green power of the earth at your service. GLIMPSE will feature a revolutionary, patented xanthone formulation that only XanGo can create. XanGo developed our exclusive xanthone formula for GLIMPSE through scientific exploration and advanced skin nutrition technology. Keep watch for more news on Glimpse at www.XanGoLaunch2008.com.

A new marketing revolution

Education and dialogue have been key components in XanGo's creation and advancement of the mangosteen supplement category worldwide. In October 2007, XanGo introduced XanGo.TV the first brand-centric video sharing site at this level in the marketplace.

XanGo.TV is a big hit with over a million visitors already. Distributors and consumers worldwide are producing, sending and sharing XanGo.TV videos about their experiences with the mangosteen and XanGo Juice.

XanGo.TV is dedicated to broadcasting the XanGo lifestyle by providing visitors an inside view of real-life stories and insights. With a library of videos and podcasts, visitors can chronicle the genesis of the mangosteen supplement category creator as it evolves to a surging global market.

In 2008, XanGo hosted its inaugural XanGo.TV Awards Show, recognizing the best video entries from distributors around the world. The Top 10 winners from among more than 200 entries and from more than 20 international markets who put their XanGo stories and inspirations into short films were honored during a 20-minute online broadcast event at www.xango.tv.

XanGo is intent on continuing to lead the market as the worldwide leader in mangosteen-based products. Supported by the success of the direct sales model, XanGo is one of the world’s fastest growing companies and will continue to set high goals for its corporate innovation and charitable work.

Sayonara Sushi, Make Way for Bibimbap (and Mangosteen)


Thanks to Erin Zimmer for posting this article on SeriousEats.com

Sayonara Sushi, Make Way for Bibimbap

Posted by Erin Zimmer, March 28, 2008 at 6:30 PM

Looking into a crystal ball, Good magazine forecasts which foods will be the next sweeping trends in a post-sushi era. With more restaurants serving exclusively sweets, New York's first dessert bar ChikaLicious might have to watch out. Bibimbap is another trend to watch for, but L.A. Weekly's Jonathan Gold already called that Korean pile of bean sprouts, egg, and meat an emerging all-star back in 2004. Itsy-bitsy fish like sardines and anchovies are also getting bigger, which should make both obesity-haters and the sustainable fishermen happy. And forget pomegranate (so 2007)—mangosteen is all the semi-exotic fruit rage, which means it'll probably start popping up in products galore. This XanGo juice, already a hit with Oprah, is just the beginning of a mangosteen-crazed world.
