MANGOSTEEN PUREE CONCENTRATE ALONE To date, very little research has been conducted to explore the effects of mangosteen fruit on human health. However, scientists have thus far been able to show that mangosteen extract may exhibit antioxidant, antiinflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral and anti-tumor properties. Mangosteen may be useful in helping to shield the brain from the toxic effects of amyloid beta (a substance associated with Alzheimer’s disease that forms the brain). Some evidence also suggests that mangosteen extract may be helpful in the treatment of acne. Additional research has shown that mangosteen may help to boost the immune system. Subjects who were given mangosteen appeared to have reduced levels of C-reactive protein (a marker of inflammation) and experienced a significantly greater improvement in immune response compared to the placebo group. Cancer Some claim that mangosteen helps to fight cancer. However, there is no evidence to support the use of mangosteen in cancer treatment or prevention. In fact, a 2006 report from the Journal of the Society for Integrative Oncology warns that cancer patients should use caution before consuming mangosteen as it can potentially interact with cancer treatments and affect blood sugar levels. Uses for Mangosteen For generations, mangosteen rind has been used throughout Southeast Asia for medicinal purposes. Legend suggests that mangosteen rind was used to make a tea for conditions like diarrhea, bladder infections and gonorrhea. Mangosteen rind was used to create an ointment that was applied to skin rashes. (91-96). Proponents claim that mangosteen is useful for the following health issues: allergies anxiety cancer cataracts chronic pain depression high blood pressure high cholesterol inflammation irritable bowel syndrome migraines Parkinsons disease Some nutritionists suggest that mangosteen may slow the aging process, aid in Alzheimers prevention, increase energy, preserve eye health, stimulate the immune system, improve bone health and protect against heart disease but xanthones in mangosteen may interact with bloodthinning medication (such as warfarin) and possibly lead to bleeding. However, at the doses in Kyäni Sunrise™ this is unlikely to occur. Others suggest that higher doses of xanthones may depress the central nervous system in animals and cause sedation. However, the doses in Sunrise™ are too low to elicit this effect.
