Mangosteen Juice for Health Benefits
Mangosteen is a tropical fruit that is claimed to have numerous different health benefits. Some people may take mangosteen supplements, eat the mangosteen fruit, or drink mangosteen juice fruit for health benefits such as treating or preventing the following conditions:
- Arthritis
- Cancer
- Dysentery
- Diarrhea
- Eczema
- Gonorrhea
- Menstrual problems
- Thrush
- Tuberculosis
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs).
Mangosteen is also claimed to enhance the functioning of the immune system and to promote good mental health. However, there is little evidence to suggest that mangosteen really does work for any of these uses.
