Xan1 Mangosteen Juice

Shan Zhu is the chinese name for mangosteen (garciana mangosteena). Why choose mangosteen? It is because the mangosteen fruit is known to contain the greatest natural supply of xanthones, especially in its rind and pulp. Modern scientific research discovered that out of 200 known xanthones mangosteen alone has over 40 different xanthones.
What are Xanthones? Xanthone is the scientific name for antioxidants occuring in nature. Antioxidants are well known to have anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties.

Whole Fruit Technology - This technology by its name means that the whole mangosteen fruit is used in processing its juice. One 250ml bottle of Xan-1 mangosteen juice contains the equivalent of 6 (six) kg of whole fruit juice! It would be difficult, if not impossible, to eat that amount of fruit, rind and all.
