Most Active Xanthones from Mangosteen-GM-1

Therapeutic Efficacy

  1. Growth inhibition and the ability to kill antibiotic-resistant gram-positive bacteria, the effectiveness equals that of vancomycin.
  2. Anti-inflammatory, 3 times as effective as aspirin.
  3. Analgesic (pain relieving) and anti- allergy.
  4. Anti-oxidation-preventing heart diseases from LDL cholesterol oxidation.
  5. Kill breast cancer cells, leukemia cells, liver cancer cells, kidney cancer cells, stomach intestinal cancer cells, lung cancer cells (based on laboratory testing).
  6. Kill tuberculosis bacterium (based on laboratory testing).
  7. Inhibit the propagation of HIV (based on laboratory testing).
  8. Increase the phagocytosis, the cellular process of eliminating foreign matters and bacteria.
  9. Inhibition of cartilage deterioration (based on laboratory testing).
GM-1 is found by scientists at TMRDC to be the most active among 43 xanthones found in mangosteen.
