Product Review: New natural health products

Mangosteen. It's unsweetened and unsulfured. Just pure, freeze-fried mangosteen fruit, which is extremely high in xanthones (natural plant-based medicines). Trade Joe's is also now offering freeze-dried rambutan (yum!) and dried lychee fruit (also yum, but not as much yum as the fresh lychee fruit). They also have a new cashew nut mix called Capitola Cashew which is tasty and not too sweet or salty. It's not organic or raw, but if you're looking for a new taste sensation while eating a relatively healthy snack, this is a great way to go!

I also don't promote products made mostly with fillers (for example, a bottle of mangosteen juice made mostly out of apple juice would not earn my recommendation). To get exposure on NewsTarget, you have to offer a truly high-quality, innovative product (or book, website, etc.) that delivers strong benefits to customers. 2. Send an empty sample + literature to us. Send a sample of your product(s) to us, but leave out the capsules or powder or whatever is normally inside. We only need the product package.

The imbe or African mangosteen (G. livingstonei) also bears delicious orange fruits that are widely used in Africa for eating or brewing beer. Several Southeast Asian and Indian species have sour fruits which are sliced and sun-dried as a tamarind-like spice. These include asam gelugor (G. atroviridis), wild mangosteen or assam auraur (G. hombroniana), the Indian kokam tree (G. indica) and malabar tamarind (G. gummi-guta, previously G. cambogia). Seeds of the West and Central African false kola (G. kola) are chewed as stimulant.

Origin & history mangosteen is indigenous Mangosteen fruits to Malaysia. It is a cultigen and possibly a hybrid between G. hombroniana and G. malaccensis. Small-scale cultivation occurs in Southeast Asia, Sri Lanka, and in recent years also in Central America and tropical parts of the USA. Parts used Ripe fruits. Cultivation & harvesting The tree is notoriously difficult to propagate (seeds and cuttings are equally problematic) and takes up to 10 years to bear fruit. The fruits bruise easily, so they are only sold on local markets.

The hoodia industry continues to be largely run by con men (although there are at least four exceptions that will be listed here on NewsTarget shortly), the superfruit juice products continue to be made largely with apple juice (not goji or mangosteen as is loudly proclaimed on the label), and there's a long list of companies with the word "Organic" in their company name who don't even use organic ingredients in their products. The level of deception in the natural products industry has never been higher.

The Chinese and Thais also take advantage of the mangosteen's antimicrobial and antiseptic properties to treat infected wounds, tuberculosis, malaria, urinary tract infections, syphilis, and gonorrhea. Made into an ointment, it is applied to eczema and other skin disorders. Among the phytoceuticals in the mangosteen is a newly discovered class of highly acrive subsrances called xanthones.
General Information The mangosteen is the fruit of a small tropical tree that is believed native to Malaysia and Indonesia. Requiring a hor and humid climate, the mangosteen is a slow-growing tree that may not begin to beat ftuit until it is between ten and fifteen years old. Many people say that this Malaysian fruit, with its exquisite, milky, sweet juice, is maybe the most delicious tropical fruit thete is. The fruit is about the size of a mandarin orange, round and slightly flattened at each end, with a smooth, thick rind and rich red-purple color.

Natural healers know that snakebites are dangerous, not only because of the venom, but also due to the fermentation they cause in the tissues. Ice on a snakebite will halt fermentation (and also decrease circulation to slow the spread of the venom). To stop digestive fermentation, place a cool object or icepack on the diaphragm, or get into cold water. Sucking on ice cubes for 15 minutes may also be helpful.

The skin of the great mangosteen fruit contains highly-medicinal xanthone alkaloids. Raw cacao beans, perhaps the most concentrated source of antioxidants found in any food, contain heart-friendly catechin and epicatechin flavonoids. Up until now, what had been overlooked is that raw plant fat sources are always also powerful antioxidants. Raw plant fats have long-chain fatty acids which help protect cell membranes from oxidation. Raw plant fats deactivate free radicals by giving them electrons.

Read the ingredients on this product and you'll be amazed: pomegranate seeds, acai, goji berries, camu camu, mangosteen, elderberries, purple carrots (my favorite!) and many more. Check it out for yourself! You can blend this superfood powder into a smoothie or just drink it in a glass of water. Antioxidant Defense System - RED is just like the purple product, above, except it's made with red fruits and vegetables: tomatoes, raspberries, astaxanthin, cherries, etc. As with the purple product, this tastes fantastic!

There are three fruits that do exactly that. The mangosteen fruit, the wolfberry (known as gogi), and the noni fruit. These fruits come from around the world, not America. We can't get them fresh. There are companies that sell bottled mangosteen juice, gogi juice, and noni juice. In most cases, unfortunately, these juices have been pasteurized, which means they have been heated and many of the enzymes have been destroyed. However, the benefits of drinking these juices outweigh the fact that they have been pasteurized.

Uses & properties Fruits are eaten fresh (considered by many people to be the most delicious of all tropical fruits - if durian is king, then mangosteen must surely be queen!). It has a delicate sweet-sour taste that goes well with fruit salads, ice creams, sorbets or fruit purees. Nutritional value The fruit flesh is relatively rich in sugar (16-18%) and has a high energy value (75 kcal per 100 g). The vitamin C content is low (2-3 mg).

I particularly enjoy MSM powder, Beauty Enzymes, Blue mangosteen Antioxidants, angstrom minerals, fully mineralized sea or rock salts and others. In my opinion, high quality organic foods and superfoods are the best sources of nutrients and supplements there are to enhance specific needs, requirements and/or desired nutritional goals. My thoughts have changed on supplements over the years. I began years ago with the opinion that they are unnecessary. Through experience I now feel that high-quality supplements can be quite helpful.

In 2001 a single pharmacological study from a European university indicated the following properties of mangosteen's xanthones: antidepressant, antituberculosis activity, antimicrobial (bacteria and fungus), anriviral, anti-leukemic, antitumot activity, antiulcer and antidiabetic activity. Additionally, polyphenols and cathechins, powetful antioxidants and antitumor agents, ate present in significant quantities. The fruit's polysaccharides are apparently responsible for its antibacterial and antifungal effects.
The texture of each segment resembles that of a well-ripened plum but is so delicate that it melts in the mouth like ice cteam, with a flavor that is sweet, subacid, yet indescribably delicious. The mangosteen has often been described as the "queen of fruits," or at least as one of the world's best-flavored fruits. Jacobus Bontius compared it to nectar and ambrosia, said that it sutpassed the mytical golden apples of the Hesperides, and that it was "of all the fruits of the Indies by far the most delicious." The fruit is usually eaten fresh as a dessert.
