Mangosteen Superfruit Power: Vemma Nutrition

Mangosteen is a rare superfruit primarily found in Southeast Asia and scientifically known as Garcinia mangostana. No relation to the mango, it has been hailed as the “Queen of Fruits” and has been used for centuries by Asian health practitioners to treat a variety of health conditions.* Of all the known sources for xanthones, the mangosteen supplies some of the highest amounts found in nature. Xanthones are a biologically active phytonutrient with very potent antioxidant properties. Vemma’s source of mangosteen is wildcrafted, which is the practice of harvesting plants and fruits from their natural or “wild” habitats, where pesticides are not typically applied. The entire wildcrafted mangosteen fruit, including the pericarp (rind) and pulp, is utilized during Vemma’s proprietary extraction process. Pioneered by Vemma’s Chief Scientific Officer, Yibing Wang, M.D., Ph.D., this intricate method helps ensure that the highest levels of nutrients are included in the Vemma formula.
