Solaray - Mangosteen 475 Mg. 100 Vegetarian Capsules 66992

Great product

About 16 years ago, (age 49) I was in such horrible pain from arthritis, that my husband begged me to take this supplement before I began a traditional treatment that had scary side effects. I had already tried Celebrex and then they realized it caused heart problems. My thumbs were frozen and I had "trigger" finger so badly that I taped my fingers together to sleep. I was young (25) and a brand new mom, when diagnosed. It runs in the females of my family on BOTH sides. Six weeks later (2caps a day) I was symptom free. It did not happen quickly, so be patient. I had to do physical therapy to unfreeze my thumbs. Before Mangosteen, I was unable to even write. Today, I am an oil painter. My dr could not even believe it. I still test positive for RA, but have been symptom free for almost 100% of the time. Twice, I quit taking it and symptoms came back with a vengeance, but subsided again after a few weeks of treatment. Mangosteen is a tiny bit of a blood thinner. I have been told it is less than a baby aspirin. So, I usually quit a week before any med procedure that could cause bleeding. This one week never causes relapse.Hope this helps!

MEETS ALL MY REQUIREMENTS VERY SATISFIED WITH PURCHASE

Perfect. I was able to buy this product from a health store but they stopped carrying it. I needed mangosteen in pill form to travel. It was a great find on Amazon. I am able to continue my routine with taking the herb and I feel wonderful. Solaray provides a good product. I was concerned that the pills would not be as successful as the liquid form but it still does a great job.

I purchased this item because I have Cutaneous Mastocytosis (a mast cell disorder). Mangosteen inhibits leukotrienes. , prostaglandins, and interleukins. These are chemicals I seem to have issues with. I take berberine, bromelain, and quercetin in the morning, but add these in and sometimes black cumin seed oil capsules in in the late afternoon. By using this product I am able to stabilize myself without the use of taking daily antihistamines. Taking daily antihistamines lowers your body's natural DAO enzyme needed to balance histamines so, personally, I try not to take big pharma meds. Instead, I try to take care of my body naturally when I can, and use the big pharm stuff for bad bad days or emergencies. I trust this brand and would repurchase this item. I would also recommend them.
