First, a confession: Geezer has never tasted XanGo. Perhaps someday he will, if he can overcome his aversions to purple beverages, extreme marketing hype, and spending large amounts of money on small amounts of anything.
How hyped is XanGo? Let us count the ways: The XanGo website claims that "XanGo® Juice boasts a proprietary whole–fruit formula,
harnessing a concentrated rush of xanthonesâ€â€a vigorous family of
next–generation phytonutrients." Wait there’s more: "Research shows xanthones possess potent antioxidant properties that may help maintain intestinal health, strengthen the immune system, neutralize free radicals, help support cartilage and joint function, and promote a healthy seasonal respiratory system." Hard to believe, yet the most surprising information on the XanGo site is not nutritional, its the price of XanGo–$37.50 a bottle. Could anything be worth that price? Much of the answer can be found in this piece in the L.A Times, which directs our attention to an independent lab test performed for the Associated Press showing that
XanGo’s antioxidant strength is no better than that of other readily
available fruit juices. In fact, by molecular weight, XanGo’s antioxidants measured 14,884 "micromoles"
per liter — slightly more than in cranberry juice but lower than in
black cherry and less than half the amount in blueberry juice.

I think home based businesses are going to be the wave of the future. This type of business let’s you work on your own terms, your hours and your location. It also opens you up to the tax advantages of the rich. You can write off your materials you use, promotional items, rent, mileage, and even going out to eat.
I live in Rhode Island and work for a company Xango. We sell a health and wellness product that is in juice form. It is a powerful anti-inflammatory and cox2 inhibitor (decreases pain) as well as antioxidant. The company that we work for is one of the fastest growing companies in the United States. Please email me at Damien.Cabral@XangoRI.com or give me a call @ 401-464-2232 if you are interested in further information. More information can also be found at http://www.XangoRI.com
Check out what the FDA is saying about Xango from the link below.

It sounds like the company could be shut down if they don’t comply with the warning of claims per Paul Teitell, the FDA’s assist and district director.
Xango uses 3rd party info on claims for health benefits, which Xango claims would not effect their company. They sure do include the literature as they present their Juice at meetings and festival. This article just came out before the layoff at the Xango headquarters which you can read more about at this link: http://www.heraldextra.com/content/view/258037/18/
I’m beginning to think their business is going downhill and they need to pay for high court cost to keep going. I wouldn’t dought they might of paid a big fine, who knows.
I also read the study done on the antioxidant levels in the juice. It appears Blueberry Juice is more potent and is a fraction of the cost of what Xango would cost.
Mangosteen is a good fruit, but not when people hype it up in a juice. You can buy the fruit for 5 cents in Thailand and $6 or less at most Health Food Markets. I would rather buy the fruit from a health food store, instead of support a marketing scheme.
