Guest guest Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Hi guys, Have any of you ever heard of Xango or Mangosteen? I noticed that it is not SCD legal because it has Xanthan gum in it. But wondered if this was " snack oil " , or if the antioxidants are truly beneficial in it? The stuff it truly interesting but so expensive. Antoinette and family of five.

The commercial preparations aren't SCD legal. Sheila, SCD Feb. 2001, UC 23yrs, PCOD 22yrs mom of and Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Sheila why do you say that the benifits are questionable? I was not happy with them when I saw their booth at the autism conference. Like I already said...I fear that this might be another expensive " snake oil " supplement. Not snack oil....LOL. I didn't realize that I wrote this wrong in my original post. I have been looking into this more. Blue Berries and Pomegranates are very high in anti-oxidants too. Especialy when paired. I wish that people would stop preying on us people with autism and autistic kids! Makes me mad!. This stuff is not only not SCD legal....it is VERY EXPENSIVE. One can make their own juice that is high in antioxidants....with blue berries and pomegranates, and likely get the same benefits! Plus it would be SCD legal.

Looking at this site which claims they are high in nutrients but it is paired with blueberries, apples, raspberries etc and full of SCD illegals http://www.freshmangosteen.com/xango-ingredients2.aspx it is wildly expensive. While people continue to look for a magic cure-all there will continue to be people who are ready to charge the " moon " for that cure. As for the 'snack oil' typo don't worry about it - my two finger typing constantly leaves typos - for which I humbly apologize ; ) Sheil;a, SCD Feb. 2001, UC 23yrs, PCOD 22yrs mom of and daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
