Product Description

Mangosteen (Garcinia Mangostan) has been used for centuries in folk medicine as well as the traditional medicine systems throughout Southeast Asia. Recently, more mangosteen research studies has uncovered additional properties such as Anti-inflammation, Anti-tumor, Anti-aging, Anti-oxidant, Anti-viral, Anti-bacterial, and Anti-diabetic. Although this research is still being studied, it appears that mangosteen derives its health benefits because of anti-oxidants known as Xanthones that are found throughout the entire plant. However, the greatest amount, over 80% in fact, being found in the "pericarp" or inner rind of the fruit. The mangosteen trees that are used for Faro's mangosteen products are organically grown in pristeen forests without pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers. Each mangosteen fruit is selectively picked and only the fruits that are dark red to purple in color are chosen...indicating a perfect state of ripeness for the highest nutritional value. The pericarp is then removed from the white fruit inside. The fruit is removed and used for other purposes. But the outer skin (or pericarp) is laid out and exposed to the sun...a natural drying process that has been used in Southeast Asia for centuries and has not been improved upon even with today's modern equipment and science. Sun-dried pericarp yields the highest tannin concentration of 5.5% and is preferred for medicinal usage over any other drying methods. After the drying process is complete, the sun dried pericarp pieces are then ground to a fine powder. Faro's mangosteen pericarp powder is then ready to be either packaged for wholesale purchase or ready to be shipped to be either encapsulated or used for other types of Faro mangosteen products. Faro's Mangosten Capsules contain 100% Pure Pericarp Powder. Each bottle of Faro mangosteen is stamped with a date for freshness to ensure that you are getting the utmost highest quality for you and your family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Relief from sinus and painful gums, February 13, 2010

I tried mangosteen before as a juice...it didn't really do much and was not encouraged to try it again. Then I read about someone who has lyme's disease said they tried this and it worked for them. I don't have lyme's but I thought it might help my gums. I decided to give it a try, but I only ordered the two bottle pack (next time I will buy the 4 pack). My gums were so painful and nothing was working. I was amazed that within in a week the problem subsided and also I had an unending sinus problem that went away as well! I am very satisfied with this product and I highly reccomend it. I think it is very potent to have worked so well.

It truly works for a variety of ailments and has been a great help to me. I recommend researching the varied health benefits attributed to mangosteen and then trying it for yourself.

*A note about the company (Faro Company): I've received nothing but the best service from them and they provide fast shipping. If you're stuck in a multi-level marketing scheme in order to get mangosteen juice, please try the capsules.

Update Dec. 11, 2011: I first used mangosteen for the purpose of treating hypertension and edema. Last year, I saw just how effective this supplement can be for others. I gave several capsules to a relative whose BP was around 210/180. Anyone who has experienced BP this elevated knows the panic of this situation. After 20-30 minutes, his BP was back within a normal range. He saw a physician, but found that mangosteen continued to work even better than a prescription BP med. I've since given others this supplement and observed varying degrees of success. Naturally, no supplement works the same way for everyone and I've noticed different advantages for each person. I suppose the only disadvantages I'm aware of at this time would have to be: the potential for some to have an allergy to the mangosteen fruit and the combination of mangosteen with blood thinning medications. Mangosteen seems to thin the blood of some people, but this has been yet another plus for me. Although I've added a few other supplements over the years, I'm still very pleased with mangosteen capsules.

Things I've noticed:
1. I've tried several brands of mangosteen and Faro has been the most effective. Plus, the capsule form seems significantly more potent and longer acting than the juice.

2. The capsules are slightly larger and seem to contain more fiber from the plant than most other brands (densely packed).

3. There is no unpleasant taste, aftertaste or stomach irritation with these capsules. The capsules also have no odor.

4. If taking for insulin/blood sugar balance, the supplement seems to work better when consumed with protein.

5. I saw results within the first 15 minutes of taking mangosteen, but I've also seen improvement with continued use (3-4 capsules/day).

Aside from the previously mentioned hypertension and edema, I've also used this supplement to ease inflammation, fever, detox during and after the candida diet, headaches, insomnia, restlessness and arthritis.
