Mangosteen, Xanthones and GM-1
What is a Mangosteen?
Mangosteens
The Mangosteen fruit (or Garcinia mangostana, as it is known scientifically) is exotic, delicious and is packed with full of xanthones and other phytonutrients that demonstrate impressive health benefits.
What are Xanthones?
Xanthones are biologically active plant phenols found in a few selective tropical plants. There are over 200 xanthones discovered and the mangosteen has over 40.
Xanthones have been found to support and enhance the body’s immune system. Xanthones also exhibits strong Antioxidant activity which is beneficial for neutralizing free radicals in the body.
Facts about Xanthones
The Mangosteen has by far the most xanthones of any plant. The pericarp of the mangosteen fruit contains a vast majority of xanthones. Xanthones are some of the most potent antioxidants known. In fact, many doctors refer to xanthones as “super xanthones”.
GM-1
GM-1 was founded by scientists at the Thai Mangosteen Research and Development Centre (TMRDC). It is the most active element amongst the 41 xanthones founded in mangosteens.
GM-1 is a safe substance, 5 times safer than citric acid in orange juice. There is no known side effects from overdose.
In some latest studies, the TMRDC scientists had significant results which shed light on how GM-1 acts on the body. It optimizes the body’s immune system to fight infections and diseases.
GM-1 optimizes the immune system to defend against infectious organisms and other invaders. It is made up of a network of cell, tissues and organs that work together to protect the body.
ORAC Scores
What is ORAC?
ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. ORAC measures the ability of just about any substance to subdue oxygen free radicals in the test tube. In short ORAC is a lab assay that can measure the antioxidant activity of any substance and give it a number. The higher the ORAC number- the stronger the antioxidant properties of the substance.
National Institute on ASging developed the ORAC method and the US Department of Agriculture and Brunswick Labs have been instrumental in perfecting the ORAC assay procedure and testing various foods to determine ORAC levels.
Unique Charateristics of GM-1
- Full of vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants.
- Tasty, 97% absorption and maintains ph alkaline body balance.
- Skin rejuvenation.
- Improves the quality of sleep and reduces insomnia.
- Manage the balancing of blood sugar.
- Helps prevent the progression ot most eyesight diseases.
- Effective arthritis relief.
- Supports overall immune function and helps to restore cellular health.
