		Mangosteen Research Because of mangosteen's rapidly increasing popularity and interest, there has been quite a bit a of un-biased research on this tropical fruit. which figures in many Eastern medicine systems. Because of the great commercial potential, independent researchers are used to avoid any sort of commercial biases, which can be easily developed by funding. I for one was very sceptical of the seemingly magical potency of the mangosteen. I was especially leary of the xanthones - which is what the antioxidants in the skin and pulp are ostensibly called. But surprisingly (for me anyhow), there have been some very positive results in favour of the fruit! Mangosteen's antioxidant properties simply can't be disputed. Distilled xanthone compounds extracted from mangosteen, especially garnicone E, can be a powerful accompanying treatment for some malignant tumors. Repeated cell cycle analyses have proven no specific arresting effect of garnicone E, which means that mangosteen can not be a cure by itself.

	Mangosteen Research Thus far, the most potent xanthones isolated in mangosteen are Alpha Mangosteen and Gamma Mangosteen. Research is indicating that these specific xanthones are responsible for histamine and serotonin receptor antagonists. In the near future they may enable the development of antihistaminic and antidepressant medicines, but further investigation is yet required. Also discovered, is that polysaccharides derived from mangosteen skin can stimulate metabolic action, expunging bacteria from cells, such as S. enteritidis. Also, natural xanthones taken from mangosteen are quite antifungal, as well as powerful scavengers of free radicals in the human body. Of extreme interest to researchers (for monetary and ethical reasons) is the effect of mangosteen compounds on the HIV virus. Already, there has been some observed effect on the replication of the deadly virus.
