If you want to try a health product or supplement in the market today, then you might as well go for Xango juice. Xango is a blended juice product which is primarily made with mangosteen. It has been introduced into the market by the company XanGo, LLC in 2002. It is mainly used as a nutritional supplement and a skin care product.

Aside from mangosteen, Xango juice also has juice concentrates of other fruits like apple, pear, grape, raspberry, blueberry, strawberry, cranberry and cherry. Some of the other additives of the juice are citric acid, pectin, sodium benzoate xanthan gum, and potassium sorbate. Today, Xango is considered to be one of the leading nutritional products among the health-conscious.

Although there many ingredients found in Xango, the mangosteen is its main ingredient and is the one which offers the most health benefits. The mangosteen fruit has actually been referred to as the "Queen of Fruits," as it said that Queen Victoria of England immediately loved the fruit when she tried it, declaring it as her favorite fruit. According to the story, she even offered knighthood to anyone who would be able to bring her some mangosteen.

The mangosteen grows on mangosteen trees which grow in several countries in Southeast Asia. However, it would require a bit of patience in order to harvest fruit from a tree. The mangosteen tree would only be able to yield fruit when it is about seven to twelve years old. It can yield up to 60 fruits at one time. The number of mangosteen fruits would increase eventually, though, as it would be able to yield about 1600 fruits twice a year once the tree is 22 years old. The mangosteen fruit is spherical which is reddish purple in color and is about the size of a small orange or a large plum. It has a thick rind and has around five to seven lobed edible pieces inside. The fruit has been known to have a lot of phytonutrients and antioxidants.

As for the taste of the mangosteen fruit, it has been described by Gourmet magazine in 2003 to have an exquisite flavor. The fruit itself is sweet and delicious. However, it is the pericarp of the fruit which is added into Xango juice. The pericarp is slightly bitter, which is the reason why some fruit juices are added to naturally sweeten Xango.

The mangosteen has been compared to the many other "superfoods" today such as the acai berry and there have been studies which suggested that the mangosteen was actually better as a nutritional supplement. The mangosteen in Xango juice: fights off free radicals; gets rid of harmful oxidants and toxins in the body; strengthens an individual's immune system; prevents certain cancers; aids in cell regeneration; gets rid off and prevents the signs of aging; improves the overall condition of the body; lowers the risk of certain diseases; lowers cholesterol levels and blood pressure; and helps in preventing strokes and heart attacks.

Today, you can readily purchase Xango juice for a reasonable price. However, make sure that you would be buying from a reputable distributor or company to ensure that you would be getting the real thing. By drinking a glass of Xango juice today, you can easily ward off diseases and improve the efficiency of the systems of your body.
