General Guidelines for Supplementation

The Xanthones in Mangosteen have a half-life of about 4-6 hours (length of time half of the substance remains in the bloodstream).

It's better, for example, to drink 90ml a day by taking 30ml (roughly 3 table spoonfuls) 3 times a day rather than taking 90ml in one big gulp once a day.

The Mangosteen juice is taken in 30ml servings, not by the glass or cup (unless, of course, you're taking it simply as a beverage or for severe pain or other severe health challenges).

For better absorption of the Xanthones in the body, health practitioners recommend taking the Mangosteen supplement just before or during meals.

Here are more specific guidelines for Mangosteen Juice supplement intake (please note that these are not set in stone - dosages will vary depending on your specific health condition):

Mangosteen Juice
Mangosteen fruit juice products are made with Mangosteen as the primary ingredient, plus minimal amounts of other fruit juices in the mix.

XanGo™ Mangosteen Juice Usage Guidelines

Refrigeration of open bottles is recommended. Unopened bottles should be stored at room temperature.

SHAKE PRODUCT BEFORE USE

Use an accurate measuring device for portioning and take regularly.

Best to take with before, during or after meals, if possible.

Dividing the portion into three times a day is much more effective than taking it one or two times a day.

Notes:

This is a non-toxic product, and there is no lethal portion. However, children may often achieve the benefits at lower portions.

Dividing the portions into three times a day is much more effective than taking it one or two times a day due to the half life of mangosteen being four to six hours.

However, with acute respiratory problems I suggest you also add 50mg. elemental zinc daily.

For kidney patients, please note that potassium and phosphorus levels in the fruit are not dangerous at the minimum recommended serving of one ounce daily which contains 25mg of potassium.

Those people using the juice to treat existing illness should take 1 to 2 ounces (30 to 60 ml) with a meal up to three times daily. Taking the mangosteen juice with meals will ensure better digestion and absorption of its phytoceuticals.

The daily use of the mangosteen, along with a good multivitamin and mineral supplement, is the optimal choice for those who recognize the value of supplementation.

Quotes:
"I would always recommend you consult your physician if you have a known medical condition or allergy before using any food supplement, I have no reason to believe that mangosteen is not safe for use by children and adults under any condition. However, wisdom dictates that when starting to use mangosteen you do not stop any medications you are currently taking. There will be time enough later to re-evaluate the use of any medications with your doctor when it becomes apparent that mangosteen has replaced their effects." - J. Frederic Templeman, M.D.
