xango scam
XanGo, LLC, founded in 2002, is a privately owned international multi-level marketing company based in Lehi, Utah. The company markets and distributes Xango juice, a blended juice product consisting of mangosteen and other juices, a skin care product, and a nutritional supplement.
Xango & US FDA warning
On September 20, 2006, the United States Food and Drug Administration issued a warning letter to XanGo LLC International in response to the company's promotion of Xango juice as a drug, in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act [21 U.S.C. § 321(g)(1)], by claiming that it could treat and/or cure various diseases.[32] The agency's letter further warned that Xango juice had not been properly tested for safety and efficacy, and as a proposed new drug it could not be legally sold in the US without prior approval of the FDA, and that the company could face enforcement action including seizure and/or injunction of products or suspension of business. Under FDA drug labeling rules, XanGo LLC, as manufacturer, is responsible for satisfying scientific criteria to make health claims on its product labels and all marketing materials. As of September 2008, the case remains open.
Critical assessments of XanGo juice
The Mayo Clinic said in October 2005 that "there are no published clinical trials showing evidence that either the fruit or its juice — marketed under the name XanGo juice — is an effective treatment for arthritis, cancer or any other disorder in humans."
In February 2006, the U.C. Berkeley Wellness Newsletter, sponsored by the University of California at Berkeley, said that "Mangosteen marketers make farfetched and unsubstantiated claims for their products." The newsletter notes that "there are no clinical trials, and what happens in a test tube or animal may not occur in a human. Any reported benefits in humans have been anecdotal. No one even knows if the processed fruit juice and capsules retain the potentially beneficial compounds. Whats more, the juice is typically a mix of fruit juices — with an undisclosed amount of mangosteen in it."
Dr. Ralph Moss, author of several natural remedy books, has said of mangosteen juice:
In my opinion, what we have here is simply an overpriced fruit drink. Fruit drinks are often healthful beverages. But the only reason I can see that the promoters of mangosteen can get away with charging $37 for this product is that they are playing on patients' hopes and fears in a cynical way. Without the health claims, open or implied, the product could only be sold for at most $5 or $6 (which, for example, is the cost of antioxidant-rich pomegranate juice).
A 2008 medical case report described a patient with severe acidosis possibly attributable to a year of daily use (to lose weight, dose not described) of mangosteen juice (brand not described) infused with xanthones, as occurs in the manufacture of XanGo juice. The authors proposed that chronic exposure to alpha-mangostin, a xanthone, could be toxic to mitochondrial function, leading to impairment of cellular respiration and production of lactic acidosis.
Xango Litigation
Tahitian Noni International (TNI), a rival MLM beverage company, sued XanGo LLC and several of its top executives in February 2003 in the 4th District Court in Provo, Utah, alleging that XanGo executives stole TNI's concept for a mangosteen-based supplement while they were employed by TNI's parent-company. After a countersuit against TNI was launched by XanGo LLC, the two parties settled out of court. A joint statement by TNI and XanGo said that they had "agreed to resolve their disputes and the litigation between them and their founders" but the particulars of the settlement were not disclosed.

2 things: XanGo has done $2 Billion in last 7 years & shares 50% of profits with us. We have a patent on the processing of the WHOLE fruit so everyone else uses an extract (part) 2) My background is in Internal Medicine but I've focused on prevention & wellness for past 25 years. XanGo, Eleviv (adrenal stress support) and Glimpse Green skin care are 3 of the most powerful anti-aging supplements I've seen in my entire 25 year career.

Mangosteen is so cheap in my country Malaysia. I don't know why you say it is a luxury items. For 9 mangosteens it cost lest than 1 US dollar. And I can puree it and make it into juice. I could make plenty of it if I include the pericarp.
