We are getting a few questions about products trying to copy Xango's success. Who can blame them I suppose. Our unprecedented success has the whole industry in an uproar!  First of all, Xango is the one that works, has proven itself for almost 5 years with hundreds of thousands of consumers whose lives have been changed. No one else can say that! I don't care who they are! We are the ones who created the category and we are the ones that everyone else is trying to copy.  When folks ask you about this product let them know that Xango is the one that helped you and tell them about your own experience with Xango.

 Results have more impact than hype. 

 Here are some of the things to look out for:  Whole Fruit Puree Knock-off products do not use the whole fruit puree. The only way to know what is really in a product is to read the label.  When you see things on the label such as "10 Mg of Alpha Mangosteen" or "unique mangosteen peel extract" or "Mangosteen Fruit & Pericarp Extract" they are using extracts and not the whole fruit. For instance, Costco has come out with a very low quality form of mangosteen juice. If you read the label you will see that it contains Mangosteen whole fruit extract, "10 mg of Alpha mangosteen".

 This is just ONE of the over 40 Xanthones contained in the pericarp and found in Xango. In fact their label does not even mention pericarp. They basically extract this in the form of a dry powder and throw it into a juice blend. The product tastes bad,  has a watery texture and people who have experimented with it have found that it simply does not work.  Another company launched a mangosteen product with a CD of testimonials from Xango users?! They now like to claim their formula has more Xanthones. Just how can you make a product with MORE Xanthones than was is found in the Whole Fruit?  Once again we are back to extracts detailed below. By extracting one or two Xanthones they can concentrate those Xanthones and claim they have more of that Xanthone. But what has been left behind? All the rest of the synergistic components that has made Xango's whole fruit puree a Billion Dollar brand.   

PLEASE NOTE: Any mention of any particular Xanthone on a website or product label is a clear indication the product contains an extract.

   What is an "Extract"?

Extraction is a process in which alcohol, water, or toxic solvents are used to remove certain elements from a botanical. Some imitators have gone to the extreme of extracting a single Xanthone from the pericarp of the mangosteen in great quantities and thus claiming "More Xanthones". 
Using a single Xanthone or even a couple of different Xanthones in a product is like having a closet full of left shoes. Xango works because of its use of the whole fruit including all 40 plus Xanthones. The Xanthones in Mangosteen are synergistic. This means that the sum is greater than the parts and that it is the relationship between these parts that is the most important.Consequently, extraction may result in an abundance of one element at the expense of other potentially important ones, while changing the natural balance of the Mangosteen.

We mostly talk about Xanthones when describing the mangosteen because that is what makes it unique. However the mangosteen has many other powerful Phytonutrients found in other fruits and herbs such as: Catechins found in Green Tea and Proanthocyanidins found in grape seed extract. Whole foods have synergy among its components that cannot be underestimated.

The bottom line is that yes, there are imitation mangosteen products on the market. Yes, there will be more to come. All comparing themselves to Xango. All using Xango as a benchmark.

There are knock offs of Armani, Versaci, Gucci and Rolex, each being inferior to the original.  Imitators copy excellence. It is the ultimate form of flattery.

 Xango is more than a product. Costco, of course has no compensation plan whatsoever and no way for happy customers to refer others and start to get their product for free. And when have you ever had a call from Costco asking you how you are doing with the product and show concern about you getting results?

Now that you have a better understanding of where we stand, are you ready to join the REVOLUTION?
