Hello to all en een goeie morgen,
Vorig jaar is hier eens een topic verschenen over de mangosteen en zijn "eigenschappen"
Er was toen een heel interessante communicatie te lezen ivm het wel of niet "werken" van deze vrucht. Er ontbrak toen blijkbaar jammer genoeg nog degelijk wetenschappelijk onderzoek op menselijke proef"konijnen"
Nu heb ik ondertussen enkele drankjes ontdenkt zoals Xango en luvico en vraag me af of er ondertussen al meer geweten is over deze drankjes en hun eventuele heilzame werking voor het menselijk lichaam?
alle info is welkom en hopelijk nuttig

Stukje uit doc:
What is the history behind it?
Parts of the mangosteen tree, including the fruit and bark, have been used in folk medicine in Asian countries for many years. Mangostin was identified as a xanthone in mangosteen in the mid-1800s and found to have anti-inflammatory effects in rats in the late 1970s. Today, mangosteen is sold in the United States mainly through a network marketing system, in which independent distributors, rather than stores, buy and sell mangosteen juice. Many mangosteen products are also available from health food stores and via the Internet.
In 2006, the FDA sent a warning letter to one mangosteen vendor that the product was being illegally marketed. The FDA observed that the product was being promoted to treat illness, for which it had not been proved safe and effective.
What is the evidence?
Like many other plants, extracts of mangosteen have shown in lab tests that they can stop certain bacteria and fungi from growing. One lab study suggested that mangosteen extract inhibits the growth of acne-causing bacteria. It has not been tested on people to find out if it helps acne in humans. In a lab dish, it also showed activity that slowed the growth of certain cancer cells. A small study on cancer inhibition in rats suggested that the rind of the mangosteen may reduce the risk of cancer cell growth in the bowel. However, mangosteen’s cancer inhibitory effect has not been tested in humans.
Are there any possible problems or complications?
No ill effects have been reported to date. As with all plants, allergies may be possible. Because of antioxidant effects, mangosteen supplements might interfere with radiation therapy or chemotherapy, possibly making these treatments less effective. While this is only a theory, people getting treatment for cancer should speak with their doctors before taking this supplement. Other interactions are not well described. Always talk with your doctor and pharmacist about all the supplements and herbs you are taking.
Relying on this type of treatment alone, and avoiding or delaying conventional medical care, may have serious health consequences.
