Is Mangosteen Safe? Find Out!

People who have never heard of mangosteen often ask me, is mangosteen safe? My answer is yes. There are just a few exceptions I’ve run across, and please note, this is regarding “pure mangosteen”. In rare instances, some people are allergic to it. The way you can tell is that you develop itchiness, sometimes severe. One option is to stop taking the supplement for 2 weeks, and then try again, cutting the dosage in half. The only other known health risk is if you are taking Coumadin, or Crystalline warfarin sodium, it is a blood thinner or anti- coagulant, often used in heart patients. Please consult your physician if you are taking Coumadin and are considering taking a mangosteen supplement.

The other thing to consider of course would be is the mangosteen supplement you are using or are going to use a pure product, meaning not blended with other products. Does it have added chemicals or preservatives such as sodium benzoate, a preservative. Is it a proprietary blend? Usually meaning the manufacturer isn’t listing all the ingredients, and probably not listing the amount of mangosteen in the product. There may be something else in the product you may be allergic to, the only way to know what your reaction will be is to isolate and use a pure product with no added ingredients, fillers, preservatives, etc. Also check out the company who manufactures the product. What is their reputation. An easy way to do this is to go to Google, enter the company name, and after the name, enter review, e.g.,   XYZ company review. So for the vast majority of supplement users, is mangosteen safe? Yes, but as always, do your due diligence, and always consult your physician when adding supplements to your health regimen.
