XanGo Mangosteen Juice Receives FDA Warning
Filed under FDA | Comments (22)
The FDA has given the makers of XanGo mangosteen juice 15 days to prove they have stopped making unproven health claims.
The FDA has strict rules about health claims that can be used in marketing products. The claims allegedly made by XanGo Juice can only be made by drugs, and XanGo Juice isn't an approved drug, says the FDA.
Am I the only one who feels disheartened that the FDA spends so much time going after juice companies? A while back they were chastising cherry juice companies for making unproven claims that cherry juice can soothe arthritis.
Cherry juice isn't going to hurt anyone and I know a fair number of people whose arthritis has indeed been soothed by it. I don't know much about mangosteen juice but I doubt it's harmful unless swallowed in massive amounts.
Meanwhile, the FDA twiddles its thumbs and looks the other way while harmful drugs like Fosamax stay on the market.
What a joke.
FDA and the Drug companies.
what a match. They approve a drug and the Drug companies makes billions. The FDA gets first hand knowledge when a drug will be releasted to the public and what do you think some of them do? why they buy stock in the company before the FDA gives it's approval. What a racket! They both benefit, the FDA employees get rich, and so does the drug company.
The FDA's very narrow perameters are a farce. Their only role and intention is to protect the pharmaceutical companies. I will continue to drink mangosteen juice and make up my own mind. I'm sure the FDA would be much happier if I said I ate a 'big mac' a day. How can we trust THEM.
Xango and many of their out of control distributors are to blame.No uniformity in that company-same thing happened w/Seasilver and in the Network marketing arena when the ka-ka hits the fan more than once which it has w/X,a company never gets a 2nd wind unless they open in some 2nd/3rd world countries.
Plus their prices are nuts,not for the masses and contrary to what many X'ers think- they have not cornered the market.
I have been on the mangosteen juice by Xango for almost 2 years; my chronic sinus infections are gone - after 5 years of living on antibiotics (that did not work). I know many healing stories, personally, with Xango - this stuff works for a great number of people - drugs have side effects and did not work for me. I'm happy!

Hmmm...I don't think I've ever heard the FDA tell the Florida orange growers to not tell anybody that Vitamin C helps combat the common cold.
We can't help what nutrients God puts in food, nor can we deny it. Would they tell a pregnant mom to not eat greens and stick to pills for her supply of folic acid?!
If it were a man-made product, I can see them trying to regulate it. But, it's a juice..."FOOD." I don't have to get orange juice with a prescription. It's NOT a drug! Neither is mangosteen.
This is stupid! No other word for it.
XanGo was directly responsible for freeing me from long term use of prescription pain pills -- Etodolac, Ibuprofen, Vicodin, and others with harmful side effects. The FDA blesses these pharmaceuticals which kill people, but condemns the natural foods like XanGo (a nutraceutical) that work because they aren't in charge and there's no kickback.
XanGo lowered my blood sugar and blood pressure, lowered my LDL from 168 to 81 and my A1C from 8.0 to 5.2 and eliminated arthritis pain in just two months. I have the VA Lab test results!
But, the FDA won't even let me tell people about it. What about my First Amendment Rights? As a struggling new Independent Distributor for XanGo, this absurd FDA ruling has caused my website and business venture to go "Belly Up." The FDA would rather have me keep taking expensive, harmful pills than to have me get well using some natural product!
I believe that the FDA is just out to make money regardless of what happens to people who take the medicine. Every day on television there seems to be a new drug that really will not benifit anyone
except the FDA who wants the money and the side effects of the medicine are worse than what was wrong in the first place. I have read storys on how the FDA actually caused companys with healthy products that God gave us from nature to keep us healthy were either shut down or made to say that there products cant actually cure health problems. But God will judge those people in the FDA one day.
--Riddle me this--.....I've often thought about the billions of dollars drug companies pull in each year selling their remedies...not cures mind you, but bottled short-term relief. Being a diabetic for the past 18 years, I've slowly come to the realization that curing a disease, especially one like Diabetes-which affects literally millions in the U.S. alone-would completely wipe out certain drug companies. Not that that brings a tear to my eye...but it forms a harsh reality. In a nation where money is king...cures are "bad business". There's no money to be made from happy healthy people right? Sick people = money in the bank. Not dead people...just weak, ill...but treatable people. I think we can all prepare for many years of new viruses, diseases, and aliments with few cures but plenty of medication to treat them. Maybe I'm just cynical. Needless to say...I expect to live out the rest of my days as a Diabetic thanks to the financial beast greedy pharmaceutical companies have created. I completely agree with whoever said the FDA is a corrupt joke....but I see no end to the folly. I'll end with a question: Can anyone tell me what kind of budget pharamceutical companies set for the development of 'new products/treatments' each year? I'm sure its a shocking number.
My husband fought CLL (leukemia) and his results after 8 months of chemo treatment were o.k. At that time we learned about Xango and my husband tried it - just about 1 to 2 fl. oz. per day. After one year with Xango he recently returned for his routine blood check. The Oncologist told him that his results now are that good that no doctor could tell anymore that he once had CLL.
Does anybody understand that I'm that convinced regarding Xango that I became an indepentend distributor. And I love seeing people becoming better...if this is the genuine result of Xango or from whatever. At least the 'statistical correlation' is amazing - even when we are not allowed to make any health claims.
hi how could this start in philippines than you
The FDA is always quick to cut down and bad mouth a natural health product always.They are afraid it will cut down on their drug sales.This is how the FDA makes all their money by paying for ad's to promote their drugs that most people do not even need.
I just started taking xango a week ago. Xango is just taking away from the fda making money on perscription drugs. I'll let you know how it works for me..it's all natural so it has to be good for you!
Does Xango help anxiety also?
You all need to find The Amazing Randi's Skeptics web site (Google it) where facts about herbal alternative medicine are researched and debunked, not network marketed using medical and biological fiction. You can free yourselves from the silliness that a juice (isn't it funny how these juices have all just been "discovered" recently and they come from a fruit that only grows high up in the mountains of Asia in vineyards tended by monks?)has miraculous powers. And the FDA doesn't sell drugs, people. They are lobbied, like the oil industry lobbies to keep fossil fuels our number one source of non-renewable energy, but let's be serious, folks.
The real reason for the FDA's action on fruit juices, you conspiracy theorists need to know, is because you naive little sheep might actually put off seeking real medical care for serious illness by simply increasing your intake of a juice that tastes like mouthwash and windhshield washer fluid mixed in a gym shoe.
Dr. Linus Pauling used to preach that we need 3 to 4 GRAMS of ascorbic acid each day. Now we know that that kind of oxidant overload will actually strees the mitochondria in your cells and cause aging and disease at a rate higher than without it.
The juice thing is so overblown and such a scam. A few people in your church ward are getting rich and you're sqaundering your children's college fund for greed and then getting ripped off.
All I can say is that my husband had asthma for more than 43 years and in less than 1 week of drinking mangosteen juice, he no longer had to use his inhaler, when before he had to use it multiple times a day.
I had pain in my joints and in about 1 week it was gone. I can get up without pain and stiffness in the mornings. After about 4 months, I found I no longer had to take any allergy meds (Prescription & OTC) Now a family sized box of tissue will last me a whole year.
Like Bartemaus the blind man in the Bible said, after Jesus had healed him, ...all I know is once I was blind and now I see.
Whether it's because it helped my husband's and my body restore a healthy immunne system or whatever, all we know is that we will never stop drinking this wonderful fruit juice.
It's kind of like eating a good diet and exercise. If you reach your goal body and then stop eating healthy foods and exercising, it won't be long before you get your old body back.
The FDA also approved VIOXX and Celebrex. I think they should stick to watch dogging drugs and leave the natural supplements to the people who are happily enjoying them and are happy with their results.

Hi, I just started taking Xango. Did anyone notice that when they first started taking Xango, that they seemed to have gas? Or a gurgly stomach? I think I might have been taking too much? Not really sure...
I want to say that Xango isn't for everyone! It has caused me to react severely to 3 different drugs, which I had previously used without trouble. I ended up at the Urgent Care twice and had to do steroids. I still have rash that the Dr. can't clear up and afraid to take any new drug. I recently learned that the concentrated purplish pigment in Xango is being used as a dye. That is the pigment to which I am acutely allergic and since I ingested large amounts of it in a 2 month time period, I am still paying a very high price --health wise & money wise-- trying to clear this out of my system. Be sure you know what your body can tolerate before you blindly take a food supplement just because everyone tells you how much you may benefit from it.
