Cells – Are usually microscopic plants or animal structures containing nuclear and cytoplasmic material enclosed by a semipermeable membrane and, in plants, a cell wall.

Cells are the building blocks of life, and high levels of antioxidants have been shown to promote cellular longevity by providing them the ultimate nutritional foundation. By either eating a diet packed with antioxidants---found in such fruits as blueberries, raspberries, kiwis and tomatoes---or adding supplements high in them, it has been proven that we can protect our cells from oxidative free radical damage, which is the primary cause of aging in the body and brain.

Plant Nutrients from the Mangosteen Fruit Inhibit Leukemia Cell Growth:

In a recent study, scientists examined the effects of a variety of xanthones found in mangosteen fruit on human leukemia cells. Xanthones are plant nutrients or phytochemicals that have been studied for their medicinal and antioxidant potential. All of the xanthones displayed cell growth inhibitory effects. For more information, go to the Journal of Natural Products, Volume 66, 2003.

Derivative from Mangosteen has cytotoxic effect on certain types of cancer cells:

Results from a research study conducted at the Veterans General Hospital in Taipei, China suggest that a derivative from the fruit mangosteen may be potentially useful in the treatment of certain types of cancer. For more information, go to the Journal Planta Medica, Volume 68, 2002.
