Is Mangosteen Anti-Inflammatory?

Mangosteen contains natural anti-inflammatory compounds known as xanthones. These bioactive antioxidants have been demonstrated to inhibit key inflammatory pathways, potentially contributing to the reduction of inflammation associated with chronic conditions such as arthritis and supporting overall inflammatory balance.¹

Mangosteen for Blood Sugar Regulation

Blood sugar regulation may be supported by compounds found in mangosteen. Research indicates that its antioxidant content could enhance insulin sensitivity and promote healthy glucose metabolism. Consistent intake of mangosteen may help mitigate blood sugar spikes, making it a potentially useful dietary addition for individuals managing diabetes or prediabetes.²

Mangosteen and the Immune System

Mangosteen is recognised for its immune-supporting properties. Its high vitamin C content, along with other antioxidants, contributes to strengthening the body’s defense mechanisms against infections. Additionally, the xanthones present in mangosteen may reduce oxidative stress, which can impair immune function, making this fruit a valuable component of an immune-focused diet.³⁴

Mangosteen and Brain Health

Brain health may also benefit from the properties of mangosteen. Rich in antioxidants, the fruit helps protect neural tissue from oxidative stress, which is linked to cognitive decline. Furthermore, its anti-inflammatory effects have been suggested to support mental clarity and memory function, potentially enhancing overall cognitive wellbeing.⁵
