This is when I joined XanGo as the Research and Development team lead. It was at this time that I began researching the science behind XanGo Juice.

In 1735 Dr. Garcin wrote of the mangosteen that, “One may eat a great deal of this fruit without any inconvenience, and it is the only one which sick people may be allowed to eat without any...
