You may have heard about the wonderful things mangosteen and acai can do for your health but are wary of taking these ‘medicines’ without knowing their potential side effects.
Keep in mind that although neither mangosteen and acai are pharmaceuticals they are chemicals (albeit naturally occurring ones) that can cause some irritating effects if taken improperly or in too high a dose.
For example, with mangosteen one of the problems some people with hypoglycemic tendencies report is feeling a bit ’shakey’ after taking the supplement. The solution to this problem is to take mangosteen with some protein to avoid the sugar spike that causes that uncomfortable ’shakey’ feeling. This will also give the xanthones a chance to enhance the body’s sensitivity to insulin on a cellular level.

Mangosteen For Prostate Disorders
Posted in Mangosteen For Male Disorders by admin | No CommentsNearly one-third of all men over 50 years suffer from prostate troubles of one form or another. The percentage rises with age and reaches 75 after the age of 80 years. Prostate and bladder disorders can lead to numerous other ailments such as arthritis and kidney disorders.
The prostate gland is found only in men, comparable in shape and size to a large chestnut. It is reddish brown in appearance. It measures approximately 3.8 cm in width and about 2.5 cm in length and weighs approximately 25 grams. It is situated at the base of the urinary bladder and around the commencement of the urethra (the membranous tube through which urine passes). The prostate is thus vital in relation to the emptying of the bladder. The gland also plays an important role in normal sexual life and its function in relation to sex is to secrete a fluid that is added to semen during sexual intercourse.

High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is one of the most common health conditions in the United States, affecting approximately 25 percent of all adults, two-thirds of whom are younger than 65. The term high blood pressure simply means that blood is pumped through the body’s arteries at higher than normal pressure. This increased force can damage the walls of arteries which, in turn, can result in dangerous deposits of bad or LDL cholesterol and various other toxic substances. If this process is left unchecked, the end result can be heart attack, stroke, and/or other adverse other cardiovascular conditions.
Stroke and heart attack are among the leading causes of death. Lack of oxygen supply to the brain and heart causes stroke and heart attack, respectively. The integrity of the blood vessels is important in determining whether or not an organ will suffer from injuries brought about by the lack of blood supply.
