    provides about 13% of RDA). Mangosteen is good source of vitamin C and provides about
    12% of RDA per 100 g. Vitamin-C is a powerful water soluble anti-oxidant. Consumption of
    fruits rich in vitamin-C helps human body develop resistance against viral-flu and help
    scavenge harmful, pro-inflammatory free-radicals. Fresh fruit is a moderate source of B-
    complex vitamins such as thiamin, niacin and folates. These vitamins are acting as
    cofactors the help body metabolize carbohydrates, protein, and fats.  It also contains a
    very good amount of minerals like copper, manganese and magnesium. Potassium is an
    important component of cell and body fluids and helps control heart rate, and blood
    pressure, thus, it offers protection against stroke and coronary heart diseases. Mangosteen

    Interactive Clinical Pharmacology.

    Fruits, Supplements,Vitamins,Herbs and Foods May Lead to Complications If You Take

    Them with Drugs!!!!

    Avoid  Fruits,Supplements,Vitamins,Beverages, Food and Drug Dangerous Interactions

    Noli Nocere !!!!

    Interactions with Drugs.

    Do not use Mangosteen or mangosteen containing foodsWith:

    1. Aspirin.

    2. Anticoagulant drugs, foods and herbs ( Melilotus Officinalis etc.).

    3. Antiplatelet drugs and herbs . Vitamin E have anticoagulant effect, and that these might be

    additive with aspirin, Anticoagulant and Antiplateletdrugs.

    4. NSAID (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs )- prostaglandin -cyclooxygenase inhibitors.


    Prostaglandins are a family of chemicals that are produced by the cells of the body and have

    several important functions. They promote inflammation that is necessary for healing, but also

    results in pain, and fever; support the blood clotting function of platelets; and protect the lining

    of the stomach from the damaging effects of acid. Prostaglandins are produced within the body's

    cells by the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX). There are two COX enzymes, COX-1 and COX-2.

    Both enzymes produce prostaglandins that promote inflammation, pain, and fever. However,

    only COX-1 produces prostaglandins that support platelets and protect the stomach. Nonsteroidal

    anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) block the COX enzymes and reduce prostaglandins

    throughout the body. As a consequence, ongoing inflammation, pain, and fever are reduced.

    Since the prostaglandins that protect the stomach and support platelets and blood clotting also are

    reduced, NSAIDs can cause ulcers in the stomach and promote bleeding.
