I have, I love it. I don't sell it, but my daughter's friend does, so I tried it. It's beneficial in many ways.

My husband and I have been drinking it for about a week, and already my hubby's blood pressure has dropped from 150/90 to 125/75 on average. I've NEVER seen his BP that low! Also, I have had so much more energy and my mood is much better! My dad is diabetic, and his average fasting number has gone from 140 to 94. He is starting to come off of his meds. I also know someone who has Parkinsons...in the course of 6 months or so, he went from being stuck in a wheelchair unable to communicate to walking around and cracking jokes!
Why is it so hard for people to believe that wonderful results can come from the natural foods God has given us? Sure if you want to be a pessimist, fine. And if I was the one to discover what the mangosteen does, I would be selling it too.
What's really sad is that people need some government agency to tell them something is good for them or not. Mangosteen is FRUIT for goodness sake! If everyone was drinking mangosteen, I bet a big portion of the drug companies would go out of business. Probably for economic reasons, the FDA doesn't want this to happen. It's the "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" syndrome.
All drugs have side effects, some of which are worse than the condition the drug was supposed to be treating. If I can drink a natural fruit juice and possibly prevent taking meds, then why not? People are crazy not to at least give mangosteen a shot...in whatever form or brand you choose.

Honestly, there is no scientifc "proof" behind mangosteen juice...too much sugar, etc. The fruit itself is great. SO, if you are looking for a miracle cure, you wont find it in the juice. If you are looking for a product that is packed with AntiOxidants, the check out the TENX bar by Usana Health Sciences. It has 10x the amt of the leading Juice and it is in a bar form. And its cheaper

I have tried mangosteen, it is rich in naturally occuring vitamin c and antioxidents. But it is not the richest source. but it is a good start and it tastes good, just dont go overboard on it because it has a tendency to move the bowels. Its kind of expensive for what your getting. I paid 30 dollars for a bottle but you do get what you pay for with natural health products. Just look at what else is in the bottle. any preservatives and additives totally negate the benefits

I wouldn't believe these things. The problem is that all these companies put their products on the market having done NO clinical studies for safety or effectiveness. After it's on the market and the company claims that their product will cure this and that...THEN someone like the Federal Trade Commission will do clinical tests on it. That's when they find out that things like this Mangosteen juice are a crock of hooey. The FTC fines these companies all the time (sometimes for millions) for false advertising.
It's just another way to spend your money on nothing.

Not a very good source of anything the only good thing about it that I know is that is a very good laxative. You can get a good laxative for a better price

Personally?, no. But it is rich in antioxidants and that is a great start to healthy eating.
