Mangostin: The queen of fruits and its versatile spectrum of effects

Discover mangosteen, the ‘queen of fruits’, which is far more than just a tropical delicacy with its exceptional health benefits and rich nutritional profile.

It is known as the “queen of fruits” – and not without reason. The mangosteen, also known as the mangosteen or Garcinia mangostana, is a plant species, or more precisely an Asian tree, whose fruit is edible. In recent years, it has also been mentioned more and more in our part of the world and interest in it is growing. But what makes this fruit so special? When you hear its name for the first time, you quickly associate it with the mango, which is much better known here. However, this similarity in name is pure coincidence; the lychee is a much closer relative. The melodious name comes from the Malay language, where it is also native. The benefits of the tropical fruit have long been known there and explain its high status.

Mangostin is rich in cell-protecting antioxidants, which has made it increasingly interesting for medicine and the media in recent years and has led to a sharp rise in scientific interest in it. The tropical fruit is a true all-rounder and has long been used in traditional medicine in South East Asia to treat infections and inflammations of all kinds: For wounds, diarrhea, dysentery or urinary tract infections, but also for allergies and cardiovascular diseases. The tomato-sized fruit contains high concentrations of antioxidants. Some of the best known are xanthones (which it contains in above-average concentrations), stilbenes, tannins, catechins and polyphenols. These have a strong anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antimicrobial and antifungal effect, which is why they are also known as broad-spectrum antioxidants – they radically combat bacteria and fungi. The very high content of bioactive ingredients and the total of twelve vitamins it contains also provide optimum support for the human immune system. CL Vital contains mangostin extract and thus utilizes the positive properties for the care of the skin but also against bacteria.

The green line from CL also contains ProVitamin B5, which provides your skin with intensive and long-lasting protection against dehydration, and alcohol, which is known to have an antibacterial effect. The ingredients are exclusive and at the same time completely natural, which is also reflected in the choice of alcohol: it is 100% vegetable-based, which means that it was produced on a purely vegetable basis in every step of the manufacturing process.
