Mangosteen
This is a truly amazing fruit. It has many properties that are beneficial to ones health and the taste is marvelous. This superfruit is full of nutrients and antioxidants. Mangosteen is grown it the tropical climates of South East Asia. It is seasonal and locals look forward to Mangosteen season with great delight. Unfortunately the fruit does not ship well, and those of us in the West can only enjoy the taste and benefits in the form of juice. For centuries the people of South East Asia have enjoyed the mangosteen for not only taste but its health benefits. It is widely believed to lower the risk of disease and lower the chance of getting sick. It is loaded with plyphenols, and the xanthone Alpha-Mangosteen. The majority of the xanthone power is locked in the rind, which is inedible unless mixed with something else. Many juices choose to add too much of this raw rind during
the traditional
mangosteen extraction process,
and thus destroying the great taste of this fruit. Antioxidant Daily Shot does use the rind from the fruit when we extract the juice, but to increase the xanthone value even higher, rind extract is used instead of just adding more ground up rinds. This allows for a higher concentration of xathones without giving it a bad taste that can be experienced in so many other mangosteen-extracted juices.
Pomegranate
Pomegranates are a fruit bursting with

liquid vitamin properties. Studies are also underway testing its effects against prostate cancer, diabetes, common cold and a number of other ailments.
