There are over 40 diverse xanthones in mangosteen that bolster its credibility. These xanthones do different things, but function together. Xango invented a market and other products are jumping into a prosperous boat. The problem is that many of these products are basically water, they lack in the most important ingredient.

Imitation products are like the school yard bully, the make claims and boast they can't back up. Some say they have more xanthones, or maybe a stronger anti-oxidant. This leave consumers confused as to what really is important in a nutritional product. Xango is backed by research and more research.

Wishing wells are made of water, and so are many imitation products. By law product labels list ingredients in order of importance and volume content Most just have one or two extracts and are touted as being superior.

If one is not careful you can end up with a product that is changed from it's natural state making it less reliable. There are products that lay claim to have condenses that are a single xanthone acquired from the seed vessel of the Garcinia mangostana. It is their positon that this isolate is more efficacious. Regrettably it takes alcohol in most cases to dispatch of certain elements from a botanical.

XanGo works because of its use of the whole fruit including all 40 plus xanthones. Using a single xanthone or even a couple of different Xanthones in a product is like having a closet full of left shoes. The xanthones in mangosteen are synergistic. This means that the sum is greater than the parts and that it is the relationship between these parts that is the most important.

By extracting a single xanthone or component, imitators unwittingly remove or overlook components that may contribute to the activity of the whole fruit. Consequently, extraction may result in an abundance of one element at the expense of other potentially important ones, while changing the natural balance of the mangosteen.

Extraction can ruin a product by stripping it of active ingredients. It has been proven scientifically,that the solvents used in the extraction process destroy the mending actions of most botanicals.

There are imitation mangosteen products on the market, and there will be more. All comparing themselves to xanGo. All using XanGo as a benchmark. Rejoice in knowing that XanGo holds the patent to the only true mangosteen beverage. There are knock offs of most name brand products, each being inferior to the original. Copycats copy excellence and not the genuine product. The bottom line is that, it's the ultimate form of flattery.
