Mangosteen Fruit
The whole Mangosteen Fruit contains powerful antioxidants compounds that inhibit oxidation or reactions promoted by oxygen and peroxides. Antioxidants are known for their ability to protect the body from the deteriorating effects of free radicals.
Free Radicals
A constant in our food, air and environment, free radicals invade our bodies every day. We actually produce more free radicals when we exercise. This why eve n a healthy person can benefit from Mangosteen Fruit juice.
Free radicals (or compounds that seek an electron in order to become atomically balanced) attack our cells, stealing electrons from any substance they come in contact with. By removing electrons from healthy compounds, free radicals inflict damage often known as oxidation which is irreversible. Anti-oxidants are in all fresh foods but not in the density that they are found in the Mangosteen Fruit juice.
Antioxidants Can Help
The good news? Antioxidants, like the ones every Mangosteen Fruit has, preempt free radical damage by donating the needed electron and balancing the substance, rendering the free radical harmless. It is more important to have too many anti-oxidants than too little.
