"Raise your glass to the greatest man you know.

What is Xango Reserve?

XANGO Reserve offers a truly uncommon experience as the premium partner to the world’s most popular mangosteen product—XANGO^® Juice. Drawing on those years of experience, the Founders borrowed from their signature formula and reinvented it. Even the most sophisticated palate will appreciate Reserve’s nuanced aroma and taste. Bright without being overly sweet, its unique flavor is incredibly smooth and complex.

Previously found only in the private pantries of our Founders, Reserve is now available to those seeking an even more refined mangosteen experience. Reserve is perfect for special occasions. Break it out for a celebration, share a bottle with someone extra-special, or serve it to impress an important prospect. When you really want to make a statement, XANGO Reserve is sure to allure.

While supported by the same science and research as the original XANGO Juice, Reserve’s higher mangosteen concentration naturally offers an even greater amount of phytonutrients. The enhanced formula creates a new flavor, but the wellness delivered by mangosteen’s natural compounds remains in force. Think of Reserve as greatness refined.

Glimpse Mineral Treatment has Conquered the Sun!

I read a great article about glimpse today and thought I would share:

"As many of you may know, or may not know, the Glimpse™ Mineral Treatment has been undergoing UV protection testing. I am pleased to announce that the testing has recently been completed and the results are in, Glimpse Mineral Treatment offers an SPF 25 and PA+++.

Confused?

The UV protection rating system can be a bit confusing but here is what you need to know the SPF number indicates your protection to UVB rays and PA+++* is the measurement for protection against UVA rays. UVA/UVB rays damage your skin in different ways and it is essential to protect your skin against overexposure to the sun. For more information on UV check out the glimpseblog.com.

When formulating the Mineral Treatment I wanted to create a product that provided protection while working with your skin to support its inherent defensive mechanisms to the environment. I am very pleased with the results of the testing. We are achieving effective protection through the use of Zinc Oxide and botanicals rather than using chemical sunscreens such as octinoxate and avobenzone. Why is this significant? Recent studies are raising the question as to whether these chemical sunscreens do more harm than good.**

So go ahead and enjoy safe and protected skin this summer with Glimpse Mineral Treatment."

You Are What You Absorb- Introduction to Glimpse

You Are What You Absorb

Did you know your skin is your largest organ? Every single pore on your body is like a thirsty little mouth, drinking up and absorbing in whatever you give it. So,what are you putting on your skin?  Is it something natural and toxin-free or is it something that is actuallycausing real harm to your body?

Did you know:

• 33% of personal care products have been linked to cancer
• 45% are reported to be potentially harmful to our reproductive systems and/or fetal development
• 60% have ingredients that can act like estrogens or disrupt hormones

Do any of your products have these harmful ingredients?

Introducing Glimpse

What Glimpse Users Are Saying:

"Since using glimpse, my breakouts have decreased to minimal, my skin looks clear, glowing and my over-all tone is even and smooth. I believe in this product so much, and I just want to share my knowledge and awareness of this fantastic health and skin nutrition."

– Darby from British Columbia

"I have been using Glimpse religiously since the second week of June. Six weeks later, I have skin that is noticeably less broken out, smoother complexion, and less appearance of wrinkles. I have spent the last 20 years spending a lot of money trying to get my skin 'under control'. Nothing has EVER given me the results I am currently experiencing with Glimpse. People are mistaking me for 10-20 years younger than I really am."

– Shannon W.

"Where to begin, let me see, the wrinkles around my eyes are gone. The wrinkles and bags under my eyes have disappeared. The deep lines around my nose and mouth are much smaller in depth. My skin is supple and fresh looking, instead of looking 75 people tell me I look in my late 50's or early 60's. What a great compliment! It has made me change the way I see myself. Instead of being ravished by my chemo therapy I see myself as beautiful once more."

– Lorrie H.

"I would be remiss if I did not take a moment to thank you for introducing me to Glimpse. I have been using Glimpse since December 13, 2008 (I asked for it as an early Christmas present) from my husband as I knew how strongly you believed in this product. Skeptical... YES I WAS... I was a little concerned about the cost as I have never been one to spend big bucks on skin care products… and then realized this costs less then a cup of STARBUCKS a day ... and as they say I am worth it... but seriously plastic surgery was going to cost $1,500 to $2,000. I am not saying this would work for everyone I just know that I am delighted it worked for me. Thank you so much for caring enough to share Glimpse with me."

– Helen from British Columbia


"Once I began using Glimpse, within 3 days my skin looked and felt better than it ever has in my entire life. I was hooked! Over the next 6 weeks or so (this stuff is so concentrated-lasts FOREVER!!!!!!) I used only Glimpse until I ran out of the moisturizer.
"I reluctantly went back to my old reliable moisturizer and serum. As soon as I put the old stuff on my skin was mad. I felt it drying out and my skin felt like wax-I was amazed! I used the other product for about 2 weeks out of necessity until I was able to get a replenishment of Glimpse.
"Within 3 minutes of using the Glimpse my skin went back to what it was when I'd been using it. I used it over the weekend and Yasue noticed a difference in my skin by the following Monday. This stuff is incredible!! I'm SO excited about what will happen once people really give it a try!"

– Allicia J.

The XanGo Story: Joe Morton's Mangosteen Dream

I think this is a great video to watch to learn more about the Xango story.

What is Eleviv?

Tired? Stressed? Depressed?

If so, you’re not alone. Today’s life is faster than ever, filled with constant change, uncertainty and stress.  It often results in a sleep-deprived, stressed and depressed population.  Consumers spend a mind-boggling $80 billion annually on prescription drugs, energy drinks, coffee and sleep aids.   However, thesesolutions aren’t combating the real source of the problem: they’re actually compounding it.
Meanwhile, on-going effects of chronic stress on your body can mean:

• Depression
• Difficulty Sleeping
• Fatigue
• Increased Appetite/Weight Gain
• Heart Disease
• Digestive Problems
• Lowered Sex Drive
• Memory Impairment
• Suppressed immune system*

Millions of people everywhere are searching for natural, healthy alternatives to cope with a stressed-out and lethal lifestyle.  True, it’s impossible to remove all of the stressors from your life – no matter how unhealthy they might be.

But when it comes to the real problem of stress it’s not your job, your family or the economy.  It’s not even aging.  The real problem is that your body is chemically out of balance.
When your chemistry isn't working the way it is supposed to, your energy drops, your mood is depressed, you can't focus, you can't cope with stress, and you start to store belly fat.  Many have accepted this as just a normal part of getting older.  But it doesn’t have to be…

XanGo Has the Solution: Eleviv

Would you like to feel more energetic, alert – even cheerful?  How about vigorous, resilient and youthful again?  Practically everyone needs more energy throughout the day, but we want something sustainable. No one wants spikes of energy with a crash afterwards.
XanGo has developed the answer. Eleviv is a scientifically studied blend of proven ingredients that was precisely formulated to restore your body’s natural chemical balance.  Another category creator designed to complement XanGo Juice in supporting natural vigor, a scientific term that describes a balanced state of physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Using a powerful patent-pending formula, Eleviv providessustained physical energy, mental acuity and emotional well-being.** What’s more, it does so without unnecessary caffeine, sugars and other stimulants already so common in everyday lives.
     
In a series of studies presented at eight top scientific conferences, human clinical trials of Eleviv were shown to:

• Reduce fatigue
• Reduce feelings of stress
• Improve mood
• Restore concentration and mental alertness
• Maintain chemical/hormonal balance
• Promote vigor**

And the best part? It does all of these things naturally. Here is a list of Eleviv's main ingredients:

• Natural extracts from oranges (citrus sinensis)
• Natural extracts from eurycoma roots (eurycoma longifolia)
• Suntheanine®
• Natural extracts from camellia sinensis (L-theanine is a naturally occurring amino acid that is found in green tea leaves)
• Our capsules are vegetarian based and made from chlorophyll

What Eleviv Users Are Saying

“I noticed literally within hours that I had much more energy and it lasted all day, with no crash whatsoever.  Even when I have less sleep than my usual, I have the ability to wake up with a clear mind, and the energy I need to start my day.”

 – William from WA 
“I certainly have noticed results from the product, more so on several occasions when I forgot to take it.  On the days I forgot to, I would be dragging and needing a nap by about 2 in the afternoon.  On the days when I was consistently taking it in the morning, I would breeze through the day quite full of energy until close to midnight…and I’m a mom of six young children!”

– Heidi from WI 
“I have been taking Eleviv for 5 days now and feel like a normal person again! By the third day, there was no mistaking the difference. I was mentally awake and alert more quickly after arising than usual, and my mood was much brighter. I don't mean to say I was high - not at all. But smoothed out and more mentally energized. Ready for the day. Not dragging my knuckles on the ground for the first couple of hours. By the fourth day, I was downright happy, smiling, and getting my personality back! I could think quicker, clearer, and not feel as sluggish mentally. I could feel a shift. It was like an old car that had been having a hard time idling, and finally cleared out the fuel lines and started running smoothly. Today was my fifth day and I am now worrying about being without them for a bit before they launch! I can hardly stand the thought.”


– Judy from MN
"I have more energy and more excitement. Still living under constant stress, but I’m handling it so much better. I’m smiling again, I can process things in my head better, and I can’t begin to tell you how well I’m sleeping".
– Kami H.

"Two tablets in the morning produces sustained feelings of energy, well-being, and mental clarity - Just feeling great again".
– Candy W.

What are Xanthones

What are Xanthones?

"Xanthones show considerable biological activity, and it is surprising that none of them so far have an established use in medicine."  

-Taylor and Frost, Phytochemical Dictionary, 1983

Phytonutrients

Derived from the Greek word phyto (plant) and nutrient (a constituent of food necessary for normal physiological function), phytonutrients are natural, bioactive compounds found in plant foods.  Most phytonutrients overlap and complement one another, boasting complete benefits that include antioxidant effects and immune system stimulation.  In short, specific phytonutrients found in fruits and vegetables work together with other nutrients to protect your health.  

More than 900 different phytonutrients have been found in plant foods.  And even more will be discovered in coming years.  These protective plant compounds are in emerging area of health and nutrition, with new research reported almost daily.

Xanthones

Among the powerful phytonutrients found in the rind of the mangosteen, xanthones stand alone in their impressive benefits.  A family of the most vigorous phytonutrients, xanthones have been proven in many scientific studies to promote healthy bodily function.  The whole mangosteen fruit, packed with naturally occurring xanthones may help:

•   maintain intestinal health
• support the immune system
• neutralize free radicals
• support cartilage and join function
• promote a healthy seasonal respiratory system

Researchers have identified dozens of biologically active xanthones in the mangosteen fruit.  Today, researchers are just beginning to uncover the powerful scientific properties behind the mangosteen fruit.  As new discoveries are made, centuries of traditional medicinal success are both validated and explained.

Antioxidant Properties

The antioxidant properties of xanthones help prevent oxidation-- an everyday process instigated by free radicals stealing electrons from previously stable molecules.  Free radicals-- found in our air, food, environments, etc.-- are atoms or groups of atoms that have at least one unpaired electron and are therefore unstable and highly reactive.  In animal tissues, free radicals can damage cells and are believed to accelerate the progression of certain diseases.

Antioxidants contribute excess electrons to damaging free radicals, stabilizing the molecules and preventing the oxidation process.  In short, xanthones-- literally bursting with antioxidant benefits-- keep your body in prime condition, delivering the daily support you need to stay in tip-top shape and prevent cell damage before it occurs.

Nutritional components of the mangosteen fruit

• Iron      
• Protein     
• Fiber     
• Cathechin/tannins     
• Calcium     
• Phosphorus     
• Vitamin C     
• Sodium
• Potassium    
• Vitamin B1     
• Vitamin B2     
• Niacin

What is Mangosteen Fruit

"Some people spend their whole lives looking for something.  For health.  For innovation.  For freedom.  For potential.  For nutrition.  Others happen upon an opportunity by accident.  but, for most of us, it's a sublime combination of diligence and chance, years of exploration that lead to a singular, defining discovery."

What is Mangosteen Fruit?

Mangosteen is known scientifically as Garcinia mangostana.  The mangosteen fruit is rare and delicate, an intriguing fruit found primarily in a single geographical region and climate.  The mangosteen harvest requires exact care and precise handling.  Practically unknown throughout most of the world, this prized fruit demands further examination.

FRUIT

The mangosteen fruit consists of a deep purplish rind, a succulent, white pulp and between one and five seeds.  The rind, while typically bitter, contains high concentrations of xanthones and other compounds that demonstrate impressive health benefits.  The pulp, on the other hand, is pure taste-bud bliss-- a sensational flavor unlike any other.

PLANT

While the name hints at the well-known mango, the mangosteen should not be confused with the plant or fruit.  A member of the family Guttiferae, the mangosteen is heralded, esteemed and universally praised as the most exquisite of tropical fruits.  

"The mangosteen outranks in delicacy, if not all other fruits in the world, certainly all others of the tropical zone.  I admit it is a joy to the eye as well as to the palate to feast on mangosteens."

-From the 1930 work Exploring for Plants by David Fairchild, PhD.
