Why these particular ingredients?

A company with 35 years in the herbal supplement industry has the experience to optimize this drink to simply be the best product of its kind on the market. Unlike some competitors, Nature's Sunshine does not have to hire a third party to develop and produce their products for them. Nature's Sunshine industry-renowned scientists worked on this product for about a year--pulling together herbs/fruits with well-known health benefits. They optimized the exact concentrations to achieve the best result--something that few companies have the ability to do...and independent lab tests prove it!

Unlike some competitive products, the ingredients were NOT chosen to be cheap "fillers", nor to improve taste, nor to improve the texture of the drink. Each and every ingredient was chosen because of a specific health benefit and to complement the action of the key ingredients is mangosteen.

Does Zambroza contain xanthones?

Yes, Zambroza does contain xanthones from Garcinia mangostana (mangosteen). We have actually uncovered a couple more Xanthones that our U.S. Competitors don't have in their formulation due to our patented extraction method.

 Xanthones are a group of active compounds found in the mangosteen and are found in all parts of the fruit. Zambroza does contain xanthones. However, xanthones are not the only biologically active substances in the mangosteen or in Zambroza. Catechins, polyphenols, polysaccharides, vitamins, flavonoids, and other antioxidants are all active substances in these fruits. Nature’s Sunshine has compared Zambroza’s antioxidant, polyphenol, and immune activity to our competitor’s product. Zambroza surpassed the competitor’s product each time, and in fact shows more than three times the immune-stimulating power of its nearest competitor.

What is the actual ORAC value of the Zambroza product?  

NSP has chosen not to release specific ORAC values for this product. Comparing ORAC values that have been obtained in different laboratories does not give a valid comparison. ORAC values can change based on how the product was analyzed as well as the reference standard used. When one laboratory conducts ORAC testing using the same parameters, the results can produce a valid comparison. Independent laboratory testing done on Zambroza and several of its competitors shows that Zambroza has more than two times the ORAC value of its nearest competitor.
Does Zambroza contain both the fruit and pericarp (rind) of the Mangosteen?
Yes, Zambroza contains all parts of the mangosteen fruit, seeds fruit and the rare pericarp rind enriched with Xanthones! 
 
Does Zambroza contain xanthones?
Yes, Zambroza does contain xanthones from Garcinia mangostana (mangosteen). We have actually uncovered 3 more Xanthones that our U.S. Competitors don't have in their formulation due to our patented extraction method.It is very probable that the other drinks (Xango, MangoXan, Vemma, etc.) contain small trace amounts of these xanthones. After all, they are in the mangosteen fruit--and if these companies don't destroy these xanthones by their processing (which is definitely NOT a sure thing), then there may be very small amounts there.However, Nature's Sunshine uses a proprietary extraction process that can pull these xanthones out of the mangosteen rind and concentrate them into the drink at a high level. Xango CANNOT accomplish this by their method of simply throwing the rind in and hoping for the best. They are stuck with what they get, even before they dilute their juice and heat it.

Why was Zambroza developed? 
 This was specifically formulated as a highly nutritional drink with many strong antioxidants. Antioxidants scavenge the free radicals that occur in the body due to normal metabolism, and also from exposure to toxins such as pollution, tobacco smoke, ultraviolet light and radiation. If left unchecked, free radicals can cause cell damage. Antioxidants benefit virtually every organ and body system because they mop up damaging free radicals. Zambroza delivers the most potent antioxidant protection of any product of its type on the market.

I thought that XanGo had a patent on the use of the mangosteen pericarp and that no one else can use it?

It is not entirely true that XanGo has a patent on the use of mangosteen or mangosteen pericarp. As we all know, you can't patent a natural ingredient. Rather, their patent was claiming that the use of a good-tasting ingredient to mask the bad taste of a health-promoting ingredient (mangosteen pericarp) was new and unique. In fact, this type of masking of bad-tasting ingredients is well-known to those skilled in the art. In fact XanGo's patent was re-examined by the US Patent Office and on April 21/05 all 81 of their patent claims were rejected.
