What are Xanthones???

Xanthones

To understand how special Xanthones are we need to first understand how the body creates disease and illness.

In recent years scientists have made discoveries that are leading them to believe that all illness begins at the cellular level through a process called cellular oxidation. It's this process that breaks down the cell and causes a change in cellular DNA. Cellular Oxidation is caused by millions of molecules in our bodies called Free Radicals.

Free Radicals

Free Radicals are molecules in the body that are missing an electron. Cellular Oxidation occurs when free radicals in the body attack health cells. These Free Radicals go through the body attacking health cells and attempting to steal there missing electron from a health cell.

Once the free radical is successful in stealing an electron the DNA makeup of the healthy cell is changed and disease is created. It is this process that scientists are linking to almost every known disease including aging. If we could stop oxidation in our bodies completely there is a chance that aging would stop altogether. Everyone knows that it is impossible to completely stop cellular oxidation, but there are things we can do to slow down the process and give our bodies the weapons it needs to fight free radicals.

These weapons come in the form of antioxidants. Antioxidants allow free radicals to take one of there electrons in effect neutralizing the free radical and making it pass through the body naturally and harmlessly. Out of all the antioxidants on the market there is one class of antioxidants that are more powerful then all others and that is the Xanthone family of antioxidants.

Xanthones are a natural occurring compound found in only two families of plants. There are currently over two hundred known Xanthones in nature. Most Xanthones can only be found in small micro organisms and forms of wood. Neither of these are very consumable items. This leaves the mangosteen fruit as natures answer to consumable Xanthones.

Scientists in recent years have found over 40 Xanthones located in the pericarp, or rind, of the mangosteen fruit. This unprecedented amount of Xanthones makes the Mangosteen fruit the highest concentration of Xanthones on the planet.

If you want to give your body the weapons that it needs to live more health and heal its self faster then you need to be supplementing with a powerful mangosteen based dietary supplement.
