Mangosteen Extract, derived from the thick, purple rind (pericarp) of the Garcinia mangostana tree, is known throughout Southeast Asia as the "Queen of Fruits." While the white inner flesh is a culinary delicacy, the bitter outer rind contains the plant's true medicinal power. For centuries, it has been used in traditional Thai and Indonesian medicine to treat skin infections, wounds, and digestive issues. Its legendary status is backed by a unique class of polyphenolic compounds known as Xanthones—most notably Alpha-mangostin and Gamma-mangostin—which are found in higher concentrations in mangosteen than in almost any other fruit on Earth.

In contemporary health science, Mangosteen Extract is regarded as a premier anti-inflammatory and cellular protective agent. Its xanthones are "super-antioxidants" that possess a unique molecular structure allowing them to neutralize free radicals more effectively than Vitamin C or E in certain cellular environments. This extract is highly valued for its ability to inhibit the COX-2 enzyme (a key mediator of inflammation) without the side effects of synthetic alternatives. It is a staple in high-end formulations designed to support joint mobility, clear skin, and systemic metabolic health.

• Unique Xanthone Profile: Contains over 40 different types of xanthones, providing a multi-targeted approach to neutralizing oxidative stress and protecting cellular DNA.
• Natural COX-2 Inhibitor: Effectively modulates the body’s inflammatory response by inhibiting pro-inflammatory enzymes, making it a natural choice for managing systemic "inflammaging."
• High ORAC Value: Boasts an exceptionally high Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity, providing a massive shield against the lipid peroxidation that damages cell membranes.
• Skin Matrix Protection: Research indicates that mangosteen xanthones help protect collagen and elastin from degradation, maintaining the structural integrity of the skin.
