I suggest that you consult a practitioner when considering adding nutrients and superfoods of any kind to a regime when undergoing active treatment for breast cancer. Depending on the type of treatment you are receiving there are instances that high antioxidant therapy such as that supplied by Mangosteen and similar products are not suitable.
There are also sometimes windows where intensive nutritional therapies can take place. These windows can be identified by a professional. Mangosteen is of course suitable when you have finished your treatment.
I have supplied some information on Mangosteen so that you can appreciate the broad range of effects that this product is reputed to have on all body systems such as the skin, gastrointestinal, nervous and immune.
- antioxidant
- anti-depressant
- anti-fatigue,
- anti-inflammatory,
- antibacterial
- analgesic
- immune stimulating
- cardioprotective
- anti-diarrhoea
- general nervous system tonic
Much of this activity is related to the specific Mangosteen constituent Xanthone which acts as a basic antioxidant exerting its effects in different ways depending on the body system. At this time research on this constituent is young but proving to be interesting.
Our Benowa store has Mangosteen juice and also stocks a superfood juice combination which includes Mangosteen and other antioxidant superfoods.
We wish you the very best outcome for your journey.
