Blue Mangosteen - The Power to Cheat Aging?

It has been estimated that each one of the trillion or so cells in your body receives about 10,000 hits by free radicals (reactive oxygen molecules) each and every day. Free radical damage is on the rise due to increased pollution, more stressful lifestyles, mineral-deficient diets, exposure to radiation due to flying and other causes, etc. Antioxidants help to neutralize and eliminate free radicals, and may help combat age-related degeneration of cells and body tissue. Antioxidant supplementation has the power to boost our body's defenses especially when the antioxidants are of an extraordinary quality.
Recent scientific inquiry has revealed the extraordinary benefits of the Mangosteen and its rich supply of antioxidants called Xanthones. Studies have shown that Mangosteen fruit contains 43 of the approximately 200 different types of Xanthones known.
Mangosteen is a tropical evergreen tree, believed to have originated in the Sunda Islands of the Malay Archipelago and the Moluccas Islands of the Republic of Indonesia. The tree grows from 7 to 25 meters tall. The rind of the edible fruit is a deep reddish purple when ripe. The fragrant edible flesh of the fruit is sweet and creamy, citrusy with some peach flavor. Mangosteen is closely related to other edible tropical fruits such as button mangosteen and lemondrop mangosteen and has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic, Chinese and folk medicine to treat dysentery, diarrhea, inflammation, skin disorders and other ailments.
Blue Mangosteen is different from plain Mangosteen in that it is specially-enhanced with a unique blue-pigment spectrum extract of Klamath Blue-Green Algae (Aphanizomenon Flos-Aquae). This extract contains significant amounts of the health-enhancing, blue antioxidant, phycocyanin and the extract also contains mental-focus supporting phenylethylamines (PEA's). The rare, blue phycocyanin helps fight inflammation and it also helps the body to produce more rejuvenating stem cells. Research on the health-enhancing effects of phycocyanin may be found in the book: Primordial Food by Christian Drapeau, MSc.
This souped-up mangosteen powder is specially processed to maximize assimilation and enhance the body's natural inflammation fighting response. It is specially formulated to work synergistically with the algae extract and is further enhanced by a special blend of minerals to provide an exclusive antioxidant product for maximum and unprecedented beneficial joint and immune system support. Currently, there is only one provider of certified-organic Mangosteen powder in a botanical formula.
Blue Mangosteen is thought to promote healthy joints and to help fight inflammation and free-radical scavenging due to its high antioxidant levels. In addition, people have reported greater mental energy, focus and attention span as well as an enhanced immune system and an overall sense of well-being. As a point of reference, two capsules of Blue Mangosteen is approximately equivalent to the quantity of mangosteen extract in two ounces of the mangosteen juices currently available. Importantly, Blue Mangosteen is an entirely organic product, while at present there are no organic Mangosteen juices available.
