NP Nutra Launches Mangosteen Ingredient

Mangosteen offers a range of antioxidants, as well as vitamins and minerals such as vitamins C, B1, B2, and B6; iron; fiber; protein; calcium; phosphorous; potassium; catechins/tannins; and niacin. MangosteenRoyale is a GMP-certified, whole-fruit standardized 10:1 extract with very high ORAC content. The company says it can be used as a stand-alone supplement or as a way to boost the antioxidant and nutrient content of existing products. The company also points out that mangosteen is rich in xanthones and contains more of these antioxidants than any other fruit, helping protect the cardiovascular, skeletal, and neurological systems. Mangosteen may also help reduce inflammation, promote healthy skin, support bladder and urinary tract health, promote healthy cholesterol levels, help maintain healthy body weight, enhance mood, and aid in healthy vision.
