Mangosteen fruit and Acai Berry

[Guest guest]

I looked on the legal foods list and did not see mangosteen fruit and

acai berry listed. Does anyone know if they are legal?

Hi ,

It will depend on the make up of each (what kind of carbohydrates, any

illegal compounds etc..).

I did find that if the mangosteen puree/fruit/juice is coloured it is

likely quite high in phenols. Much of the high antioxidant levels

attributed to mangosteen seem to actually from other fruits that it is

paired with (in juice blends). (Since the fruit is white you'll get

almost no significant antioxidant chemicals)
