Omni-present in our food, air and environment, free radicals storm our bodies every day. Free radicals (compounds that seek an electron in order to become atomically balanced) attack our cells, stealing electrons from any substance with which it comes in contact. By removing electrons from healthy compounds, free radicals inflict damage—often known as oxidation—which is irreversible.

The good news—antioxidants, like the ones abundant in every mangosteen, preempt free-radical damage by donating the needed electron and balancing the substance, rendering the free radical harmless.  Try Xango and feel the difference!  Click on the Xango image to learn more!
