Designed as a superiod antioxidant, this high-potency
extract has been triple-standardized to maximize
effectiveness. Just two capsules have been measured
to have an ORAC value of over 4,300.
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.
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 Gamma-mangostin, one of a family
of active compounds found in the rind known as xanthones,
and also to tannins and flavonoids.
In vitro tests have shown that Gamma-mangostin, the
major antioxidant xanthone in the rind, is a more potent
antioxidant than Vitamin E. Because studies have
shown that tannins and flavonoids also contribute to the
antioxidant activity of the rind, our Mangosteen is
standardized to provide consistent levels of all three
antioxidant factors.
Dosage: One capsule 2 to 3 times per day or as
directed by a health care practitioner.
