October 20, 2009 – Mangosteen juice could protect health in the obese

A randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled trial has shown that mangosteen juice has anti-inflammatory properties. The study, published in BioMed Central’s open access Nutrition Journal, describes how the juice of the exotic ‘superfruit’ lowered levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) in the obese volunteers, which may be valuable in preventing the progression to diabetes and heart disease.

Dr. Jay Udani, M.D. from Medicus Research, California, worked with a team of researchers to carry out the trial, sponsored by a company who sell a proprietary blend of the juice. He said, “For people drinking over half a liter of mangosteen juice a day, the degree of reduction in CRP levels was statistically significant – a reduction of 1.33mg/L compared to an increase of 0.9mg/L in the placebo group”.

Inflammation, as measured here by CRP, is a predictor of cardiovascular disease and a precursor of metabolic syndrome. Reducing inflammation in obese people is a treatment goal, and a natural treatment may be preferable to other treatments which may carry the risk of side effect. According to Udani, “Further studies with a larger population are required to confirm and further define the benefits of this juice, which was safe at all dosages tested”.
