The Science of Mangosteen
Ayurceutics triple-standardized Mangosteen is extracted from the
fruit rind of Garcinia mangostana; renowned in Southeast
Asia as “queen of the fruits.” Among the numerous scientific studies
on the potential benefits of Mangosteen, the vast majority concern
the rind which is used traditionally in Ayurvedic medicine and
contains the highest concentration of active constituents in the
fruit. Our extract blend is standardized to Alpha-mangostin,
one of a family of active compounds found in the rind known as
xanthones. Because studies have shown that tannins and flavonoids
also contribute to the antioxidant activity of the rind1,
Ayurceutics Mangosteen is standardized to provide consistent levels
of all three antioxidant factors.
The antioxidant activity of fruits and vegetables is measured as an
ORAC value (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity). Two capsules of our
proprietary Mangosteen extract blend has an ORAC value of over
4,000, higher than 1/2 cup of fresh blueberries.2,3
