It is a natural anti-inflammatory among many other things mentioned on these pages. It also has no known toxicity level. In the human world, it is safe for infants and nursing mothers.

History Overview

Named for the French priest and explorer Laurentiers Garcin (1673-1751) the mangosteen is thought to have originated in Southeast Asia. It has been used for thousands of years in Chinese, Aryuvedic and folk medicine in Asia. As a result of the mangosteen fruit's exquisite flavor, it has been given the nickname of the "Queen of Fruits", and in the French Caribbean the "Food of the Gods". The mangosteen is the national fruit of Thailand, where it goes by the name mang khut. Elsewhere it is known as: mangostao, mangostanier, manggis, mangostan, or semetah.

While mangosteen can be grown in Hawaii and Puerto Rico, U.S.D.A. regulations have never allowed its importation to the U.S. mainland. Only in 2002 did the mangosteen become available in the U.S. for the first time in the form of a functional health beverage.

The mangosteen (scientific name garcinia mangostana) belongs to the Guttiferae family. Today, the fruit (no relation to the mango) is cultivated in the tropica regions of both hemispheres with commercial plantations in Thailand, India, Malaysia, Australia, Vietnam and the Philippines. The mangosteen also grows in Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Venezuela, Brazil, Burma, Cambodia, Honduras, Ghana and the Ivory Coast.

The mangosteen grows only in tropical latitudes. The trees require rich soil, with good drainage. The mangosteen has two harvests yearly. Yield varies between trees and even seasons. Although a tree might take seven to ten years to mature, some still bear fruit at over 100 years of age.

The mangosteen is composed of pericarp (rind), pulp (fruit), and seeds. The pulp is composed of four to eight triangular segments of snow-white, juicy, soft flesh possessing the consistency of a ripe plumb. The pericarp consists of a dark-purple, smooth rind about 6-10 mm thick which encloses the pulp.

Our newest customer success story from November 17, 2011:
"The Vitamins are amazing. Our 10 year old Lab/Aussie Mix has the spring back in his step, his happy smile is back and is jumping on our bed again to snuggle with us. Mackey is no longer taking Rimadyl. YEAH...Thank you so much!! Our 15 year old Sydney, a Aussie/Collie mix, is in renal kidney failure with secondary infections. Your vitamins have greatly helped to strengthen her immune system which has lessened the secondary infections. She had regained her appetite, eating heartily again, and her strength is back. Her quality of life has improved tremendously and she is only having good days now. Thank you!! I have ordered additional vitamins and have given them to my family members to give to their "Best Friends".

-- Micky in California

"I just wanted to let you know that the replacement bottle of vitamins you sent arrived safely on Monday! Sailor-girl (our 7 ½ year old Portuguese Water Dog) is a happy girl now that her vitamins are back…her energy has increased and she is jumping like a youngster again.I didn’t know that she was having any pain in her hips, but after a week or so with the vitamins she began jumping like she used to – if you’ve ever met a Portie, you know they love to jump with joy. Thanks so much for an excellent product and the BEST customer service I’ve experienced in a long time!"

Nelly owns a grooming and boarding business called Nelly's Ark. Listen to her great story about a dog she has been grooming for 3 years and what happened after just 4 weeks on our Liquid Dog Vitamins Formula. Length is less than 30 seconds...

"Your product rolled back the clock on my dog by five years. She would only get off her bed about three times a day. She would look so sad when I would head out to the barn to do the horses, because she used to do that all the time with me. Now, she goes down to the barn with me and plays with our 4 year old dog. It is truly amazing and I have become a big advocate of your product in our store, Pet Country, here in Medford, OR."

-- Carol in Oregon

"My 11 & 13 year old girls are getting off their bed easier. AND they're starting to get into trouble again. At their age, it's the least I can do for them. They will get this product for the rest of their lives."

-- Brenda in Washington

"Using this product on my older German Shepherd dog, and have seen a major improvement within a week. Have gone from 2 Rimadyl tablets a day to 1/2 a tablet. I am also using on my 11 month old golden retriever puppy daily and it has helped her with itching problem."
