By now most people have heard of mangosteen, in particular Xango mangosteen juice. The have arisen copycat products to capitalize on the growth of the market. They commonly refer back to Xango to build their credibility.
What is great about Xango is the research behind it. Mangosteen is a potent collection of xanthones, in fact it has over 40 different and unique xanthones. These xanthones work together very effectively, the legend of mangosteen has grown along with the research into its healing properties. Xango came along and essentially defined a niche and a market. Xango create a whole new category of mangosteen beverage. Most products that are currently available, are watered down mangosteen products.
Imitation products are like the school yard bully, the make claims and boast they can't back up. Some say they have more xanthones, or maybe a stronger anti-oxidant. This leave consumers confused as to what really is important in a nutritional product. Xango is backed by research and more research.
Some imitation products use the word "Extract" An extract is just a small component, that is isolated to product another product. XanGo's first ingredient is mangosteen. Some imposture products list water as the number one ingredient, others list other fruit juices.
Gold can be fools gold if you're not careful. The pericarp of the mangosteen has many xanthones. These xanthones all have different purposes, in nature they work in unison. The mangosteen impersonators make all sorts of claims about their inferior products. Some even feel that an extract works just as good. Xango is a library of mangosteen benefits, the others are just cliff notes. They just don't understand the research.
Xango is a whole fruit product that includes 40 plus xanthones, that are properly balanced. This is just how it is found in nature. Using only one xanthone or even a few different xanthones in a product is like a baseball team having nothing but left handed gloves. The xanthones in mangosteen work together. This means that when you combine all the components naturally it is a nutritional powerhouse.
Extraction may result in an abundance of one element at the expense of other potentially important ones, while changing the natural balance of the mangosteen. Emulators unwittingly remove or overlook components that may contribute to the activity of the whole fruit.
The process of extraction itself is suspect. A little known truth, even in the wellness products industry, is that the solvents used in the extraction process denatures the therapeutic actions of an botanical's aromatic components. This includes the essential oils, glycosides, etc. Vitamins, enzymes and other micro-nutrients are rendered inert (useless) when brought into contact with these solvents. These are scientifically verified facts!
Many products are comparing themselves to Xango. Everyday they come, and they go. Yet Xango has set the mark high as the only true mangosteen beverage that has the active ingredients of the pericarp. When other copy an original it is the best form of flattery.
