The Xanthone Effect – Centuries of Science Simplified
For centuries people in Southeast Asia used the mangosteen fruit for traditional healing applications such as diarrhea, dysentery, pain, ulcers, and infections. Emerging research, coupled with its use in traditional medicine, is propelling mangosteen into the spotlight. In the last few decades the mangosteen fruit has drawn the attention of the scientific community. Scientists have now isolated mangosteen’s active ingredients, called xanthones, which have been attributed to the fruit’s healing properties. In this phenomenal book Dr. David Morton gives an in-depth look at how xanthones are linked to the healing properties of the mangosteen fruit.
