The use of mangosteens for medical ailments has been in existence since the 1600's, and what was once true then holds true now. For years this exotic fruit has only been available in North America. It's growth is limited to tropical Southeast Asia and it has strict growing conditions.

The benefits of mangosteen juice are being studied all over the world right now. In my case, I have a hard time consuming all of my fruits for the day, and even when I purchase them at the market they end up going bad. I figured something that I could drink on the go would be the best bet when I'm on my way to school.

My fiance and I both have found ways to supplement our diets, increasing our daily dosage of antioxidants using mangosteen juice which is proven to boost absorption of vitamins and therefore strengthen immunity.

There are many misconceptions when it comes to this sweet and tangy little fruit, but I personally find that on test day when I drink the juice I feel much more alert. It's so much better than those canned, watered down coffee drinks that cost $4.00 a can and they don't do a thing.

Try it out for yourself and you be the judge. It's always nice to have options.
