Garcinia Mangostana Extract – The supplement you need

Garcinia Mangostana Extract (70:1) 400mg by EssentialSeries is a food supplement in capsules made from a properly treated extract of the fruit of the Garcinia mangostana. A species native to the tropical regions of the Indian Ocean, it has a highly valued traditional use thanks to its unique nutritional properties.

The edible part of the mangostana fruit (endocarp) has a moderate flavour intensity and is used for canning and for making natural syrups from the fruit. It naturally provides water-soluble vitamins and minerals and has low sugar content.

Garcinia mangostana extract by HSN has been enhanced with antioxidant profile nutrients, such as vitamin C to help reduce oxidative damage; and chromium in the form of chromium picolinate for blood glucose control.

Highly concentrated, standardised extract. maximum HSN control

Certified species. 100% Mangostana. No mixtures of the Garcinia family

One of the major problems with companies marketing Garcinia mangostana products is that they have seriously poor-quality controls.

At HSN, we take the quality of what we offer seriously, and our quality certifications verify our practices. That’s why we have searched for months for the best possible mangosteen supplier, until we found an extract manufacturer with decades of experience in the industry, and a meticulous procedural control that certifies that 100% of the raw material distributed is Garcinia mangostana and not other tropical fruits.

HSN is a quality benchmark for the development of food supplements.

Extract obtained exclusively from the fruit, the most nutritionally interesting part of the plant

Similarly, another major problem is that companies that grow and harvest the mangosteen fruit often mix unwanted parts of the plant into their raw material.

The mangosteen has a different nutritional quality depending on which part of the plant is used, which is why the fruit is so nutritionally valuable while other parts such as the stems or leaves are not of any nutritional interest.

100% certified Garcinia Mangostana fruit extract.

High concentration. Extract 70 times more concentrated than the native mangosteen fruit

The potency of the extracts is determined, among other variables, by the extraction to which it is subjected.

First of all, at HSN we reject the idea of using aggressive solvents, as these can damage the natural nutritional compounds of the raw material, and negatively affect its final quality. Therefore, our means of extraction are based on agents that are gentle to the quality raw material we use.

However, we are not satisfied, and scientific research backs us up, as we use the best means possible to ensure that, without negatively affecting its nutritional content, its concentration is as high as possible.

The mangosteen fruit extract we use in our product is 70 times more concentrated, meaning that each capsule, which provides 400mg of extract, is equivalent to 28g grams of the natural mangosteen fruit.

Standardised to 40% Mangostin. A unique Xanthone from the Mangostana species

Mangostin is a xanthone naturally present in the fruit of the Garcinia mangostana plant, and it is this compound that is the focus of interest in the properties of the mangosteen, so its content must be known.

Unfortunately, many companies do not standardise their mangostin content, because this is more expensive and requires verified quality controls to ensure that all production batches are produced with at least X% mangostin content.

Each capsule provides 160mg of natural mangostin from Garcinia Mangostana extract.

Vegetable capsules. Suitable for vegans. Easy to swallow thanks to their convenient size

Food supplement capsules are usually made from a polymer of animal origin such as gelatine, which allows the contents to be preserved. However, this has always been a particular concern for us, as the gelatine in a capsule makes a product that could be suitable for vegan diets, unsuitable for them.

Guaranteed shelf life with no added preservatives. No clumping like other brands

Mangosteen extract is very hygroscopic, which means that it absorbs a large amount of moisture easily, meaning that the capsules can quickly lose their properties. This is why many mangosteen products on the market use preservatives.

Our food supplements do not use preservatives, and thanks to the intelligent use of completely safe ingredients and additives in the smallest possible quantity, our Garcinia mangostana extract, provided it is stored according to our instructions, does not clump and its maximum shelf life is guaranteed.

A traditional plant full of remarkable properties

Garcinia mangosteen has a multitude of traditional uses in the plant’s native regions, where its fruit is preserved, cooked and infused to take advantage of its xanthones.

Our product is developed with a completely antioxidant approach, which is why we have enhanced it with nutrients of synergic action, provided in forms of the highest nutritional quality.

For example, vitamin C, in a stable and directly bioavailable form: Ascorbic acid, provides half of the daily vitamin C recommendations and contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system.

Chromium picolinate provides a good source of chromium which helps to maintain normal blood glucose levels.
