Xango San Antonio — Health and Medical in San Antonio, TX | Accepting New Patients

Mango-what?, you say. Okay. It's alright if you haven't heard of this super-fruit yet. It's still relatively new and not something your average grocery store is going to carry. But, it is getting lot of attention right now from those who are in-the-know when it comes to being healthy—including the Mayo Clinic, Sloan Kettering, The University of California at Berkley and even the American Cancer Society.

Before we tell you why you need it, let's help you figure out what it is. First off, it's NOT a mango. Nope. Not even close.

The MANGOSTEEN is a tiny fruit found in southeast Asia and is about the size of a tangerine. It's purple on the outside and white, sweet and segmented on the inside. In fact, it's so delicious that Queen Victoria was rumored to knight anyone who could bring her some!

But, it's the outside of the fruit - the thick, bitter purple part - that has people talking. Why? Because it is chock full of xanthones (super powerful phytonutrients).
