Recently an acquaintance has promoted a medicinal fruit named Garcinia Mangostana, or mangosteen. Apparently it is very rich in xanthones, antioxidant phenols with a broad spectrum of health benefits. Some duplicate the benefits of CS/EIS but others are claimed that go possibly beyond those of CS/EIS. Examples would be action against parasites, malaria, dementia, hypertension, diabetes, GERD, cataracts, arthritis, cancer and high LDL levels. [See brochures at www.nwstools.com.] Garcinia Mangostana is sold by MLM marketing at prices far above the cost of home-made CS/EIS. Does anybody have any experience with Garcinia Mangostana, enough to say whether it is worth the relatively steep price? TIA.
