Introducing the Queen of fruit : Mangosteen

Mangosteen, Xanthones and GM-1
What is a Mangosteen?

• The Mangosteen fruit (or Garcinia mangostana, as it is known scientifically) is exotic, delicious and is packed with xanthones and other phytonutrients that gives impressive health benefits.

What are Xanthones?
• Xanthones are biologically active plant phenols found in a few selective tropical plants. There are over 200 xanthones discovered and the mangosteen has over 40.

Xanthones have been found to support and enhance the body's immune system. Xanthones also exhibits strong Antioxidant activity which is beneficial for neutralizing free radicals in the body.

• Facts about Xanthones
• The Mangosteen has by far the most xanthones of any plant. The pericarp of the mangosteen fruit contains a vast majority of xanthones. Xanthones are some of the most potent antioxidants known. In fact, many doctors refer to xanthones as "super xanthones".

GM-1
GM-1 was discovered by scientists at the Thai Mangosteen Research and Development Centre (TMRDC). It is the most active element amongst the 41 xanthones found in mangosteens.

In cardiovascular diseases, it has been generally accepted that oxidative modification of LDL plays a critical role in atherosclerosis. Therefore, antioxidants able to interfere with lipid per oxidation may be beneficial in reducing atherogenic process. GM-1, was shown for the first time to be a free radical scavenger protecting the LDL from oxidative damage in vitro in 1995. Some years later, a series of GM-1 derivatives were prepared and then tested for their activities on LDL oxidation. Some of them exhibited more profound effects than GM-1 itself. Therefore, some structural modifications of GM-1 are capable of enhancing its antioxidant activity

GM-1 and its derivatives have also been shown to be antiplasmodial, antioxidant and inhibiting eukaryote protein kinases and cyclic nucleotide-binding phosphatase. In some of latest studies the TMRDC scientists had significant results which shed light on how GM-1 acts on the body. It optimizes the immune system to defend against infections and hazardous organisms. GM-1 is a safe substance, 5 times safer than citric acid in orange juice. There are no known side effects.

The most active xanthone is GM-1
• GM–1 is safe to use.
• Kills resistant Bacteria, as effective as vancomycin.
• Anti-inflammatory, 3 times as effective as aspirin.
• Analgesic (pain-relieving) and anti-allergy.
• Anti-oxidant prevents heart diseases from LDL cholesterol oxidation.
• Kills breast cancer cells, leukemia cells, liver cancer cells, and lung cancer cells
  (based on laboratory testing).
• Kills tuberculosis bacterium (based on laboratory testing).
• Inhibits the propagation of HIV (based on laboratory testing).
• Increases the phagocytosis, the cellular process of eliminating foreign matter and bacteria.
• Inhibits cartilage determination and increases bone mass.

From the fruit of Garcinia atroviridis traditionally used as a condiment in Thai cooking Thai scientists have developed Super Hi–Sol containing over 70% of hydroxycitric acid in a readily bio-available from. This formulation with the highest percentage of active ingredient over those produced anywhere has been clinically proven in multi center clinical study to be efficacious in slimming body figure reducing body fat content and blood triglycerides without any undesirable side effects. In addition all volunteers in the study reported an improvement in their stamina and endurance.

Super Hi–Sol is now incorporated into many forms of beverages and is popular among the figure and health-con-scious people in Thailand. Recently The FDA have approved one of Super Hi-sol-containing products for import and distribution in the United States.

Super Hi–Sol is an excellent addition to your diet. It contains the highest concentration of HCA of any product. This along with its remarkable solubility in water helps you to lose fat. This unique combination helps ensure maximum bioavailability and appetite control to provide unsurpassed results when used as part of a fat and weight loss diet program. Super Hi – SolTM is a unique calcium salt of HCA that is 100% soluble without adding sodium or potassium.
