What are xanthones?
While most people know about the antioxidant benefits of vitamins C and E, far fewer are aware of the incredibly potent antioxidant power of xanthones. Xanthones are natural chemical substances that have won high praise from numerous scientists and researchers. Xanthones have been studied for their medicinal potential, since they demonstrate a number of pharmaceutical properties.

Why the name “XanGo”?
XanGo derives its name from two words: XAN from xanthones and GO from mangosteen.

Why hasn’t a mangosteen dietary supplement been brought to market before XanGo™ Juice?
Many researchers around the world have wondered this same thing. The mangosteen and its' xanthone-rich pericarp, or rind, have been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years, and xanthones have been the subject of extensive positive scientific research. But until Joe Morton and the other founders of XanGo took the steps necessary to bring this fruit and its benefits to the world, no one else had the vision. XanGo is the original, a true category creator.

Is XanGo™ Juice approved by the FDA?
As a dietary supplement, XanGo is considered a food, and does not therefore require FDA approval. The FDA does not offer opinions on or approval of dietary supplements. Independent laboratory testing confirms the safety and purity of all components of XanGo™ Juice.

Where does the mangosteen fruit come from?
Although this exotic fruit can be grown in any location offering a tropical climate, it is native to Southeast Asia.

Is the harvesting of the mangosteen fruit environmentally friendly?
Protecting the environment is important to XanGo^TM. If only for this reason, XanGo^TM would always use care in harvesting. But there is a practical reason, as well. It takes many years for the mangosteen tree to mature and produce fruit. Because of this, it is critical that the care of the tree and all harvesting techniques meet the highest of standards.

Is the mangosteen related to the mango?
Except for a similar name, the two fruits are very different. The mangosteen comes from the rare Garcinia genus of plants.

What are the ingredients in XanGo™ Juice?
The ingredients of XanGo^TM are listed in order of quantity in the formula. The ingredients are: Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) from whole fruit juice, apple fruit juice, pear fruit juice, grape fruit juice, pear fruit puree, blueberry fruit juice, raspberry fruit juice, strawberry fruit juice, cranberry fruit juice, cherry fruit juice, citric acid, natural flavor, pectin, xanthan gum and sodium benzoate.

Why are there other ingredients besides mangosteen in XanGo™ Juice?
While the mangosteen pericarp is rich in xanthones, it tastes very bitter. This bitter flavor can fight with the naturally delicious pulp inside the fruit. Because of this, additional natural fruit juices are blended, according to a patented formula, to create Xango’s™ unique taste.

Is the amount of xanthones per bottle standardized?
Yes. Because of an exacting process, each bottle of XanGo contains the same amount of xanthones.

Why does it seem that some bottles have more pericarp than others?
The pericarp, or rind, of the mangosteen is rich in natural xanthones. Even when pureed, the pericarp elements remain a solid suspended in liquid. Every bottle contains the same XanGo formula, but because settling occurs, some bottles will seem to contain more solids. Simply shake vigorously before serving.

What is the recommended intake of XanGo™ Juice?
1-3 oz. daily. However, many people choose to vary from this amount, tailoring consumption to their personal preferences. It is recommended to take XanGo 3 times a day, before breakfast, lunch and dinner because the half life of the xanthones are 4 to 6 hours. Most people drink 1 oz at a time, while others drink up to 3 oz at a time for serious ailments.
