XanGo Lawsuits Settle Out of Court

Npros.com | 11/29/2013

Bryan Davis, a cofounder of XanGo, sued the company in Federal court in May, alleging it defrauded him and diluted his ownership interest in the company by falsifying financial information that also led Davis to personally guarantee XanGo's debt. The lawsuit further alleged that company executives had embezzeled millions of dollars from the company for personal expenses such as vacations and expensive gifts.

XanGo countered by suing Davis in state court, alleging that Davis had demanded a buyout and threatened to destroy the company with a lawsuit, used company funds for personal expenses, and made disparaging remarks about the company to top distributors and a competitor.

In 2010, XanGo also settled with a group of investors who claimed the company founders and officers used company funds for personal expenses.

XANGO Announces New Product, Compensation System

Press Release | 9/29/2013

"Since its launch 11 years ago, XANGO Juice has propelled a new era of direct selling and become the benchmark by which startups measure themselves," said XANGO CEO and Chairman Aaron Garrity.

Continued Garrity, "Today, we're boldly furthering that legacy through the XALO Ageless product and its accompanying XALO compensation system, which, when positioned alongside XANGO® Juice, makes XANGO the best opportunity for people wanting to feel that 'it's safe to dream again.'"

Based on XANGO's foundation of whole-fruit mangosteen and formulated with proprietary botanical blends that provide an absolutely unique, one-of-a-kind market offering, XALO Ageless addresses wellness at the cellular level.

Addressing the associated business opportunity, Garrity said, "Since the very beginning, XANGO has focused on building its compensation system upon the principle that those who are new to the business should be able to succeed and make money while they're learning the business. We're continuing this commitment with the XALO compensation plan, but we're also adding new incentives that help people set and reach short- and long-term goals as they build their business for the long term."

Revolutionary Business Opportunity The XALO compensation plan includes key tenets of XANGO's renowned, classic compensation plan such as true 50-percent payout of commissionable volume, unilevel commissions, dynamic compression and many more elements to reward the newest and most tenured distributors alike. Current distributors retain their rank and volume from the existing XANGO compensation plan while enjoying the enhancements of the accelerated XALO plan as they promote XALO Ageless and accompanying products Limitless, Ignite and Reload.

XANGO Serves 5 Million Meals To Malnourished Children and Adults

Press Release | 1/9/2013

XANGO's philanthropic efforts, organized under the XANGO Goodness Foundation, have served as a critical component of the company's operations since before it opened its doors in 2002. Among XANGO's global initiatives is the Meal Pack Program, which started in 2008 and sends nutrient-rich and water-soluble porridge to impoverished communities around the world. The porridge is carefully formulated so that even the most malnourished stomachs can assimilate its nutrients, allowing children and adults on the brink of starvation, or suffering from the effects of chronic malnutrition or illness, to work their way back to health.

"XANGO Meal Packs are an effective way to give supplemental feedings to malnourished patients," said Dr. Frank Bia , medical director for global nonprofit disaster relief and humanitarian aid organization AmeriCares. "By simply adding water, you have a beneficial supplement that's easy to both prepare and use."

XANGO is proud to partner with AmeriCares in this endeavor. Through partnerships with accredited non-governmental organizations (NGOs) established in strife-ridden parts of the world, AmeriCares personally delivers Meal Packs to critical populations and provides on-site product training to ensure best results. Meal Packs have reached dozens of countries to date. Last year, for instance, XANGO sent meals to Tanzania, Haiti, Ghana, Afghanistan and Somalia.

Meal Packs are donated by independent XANGO distributors, many of whom contribute every month. The commitment of XANGO distributors continues to grow, with donations this past December surpassing previous Decembers by 20 percent.

"XANGO distributors never cease to amaze us with their commitment and charitable hearts," said XANGO Chairman and CEO Aaron Garrity . "Through a strong partnership with the wonderful people at AmeriCares, our commitment has never been stronger to helping the world's children and families in need to live better lives."

Added Bia, "I would like to personally thank XANGO and its distributors for facilitating the distribution of Meal Packs to AmeriCares partners. We congratulate you on your tenth anniversary and look forward to the next ten years of working together."

XANGO Celebrates 10 Years

Press Release | 9/13/2012

"Reaching our 10th-anniversary milestone is a humbling moment, and it serves as a reminder of the many people who have joined us to create a vibrant wellness opportunity that we're committed to growing," said XANGO CEO and Chairman Aaron Garrity. "Over the past decade, we've reached millions of individuals through our business and our charitable efforts, and as founders, we've had the opportunity of witnessing real change as made possible by our distributors. Though we've achieved great success, we're far from satisfied and have even bigger goals for the next 10 years."

Reflecting upon the company's first 10 years, XANGO founders highlighted some key milestones:

•More than 2 million independent distributors •Operating in 43 countries, with 27 offices and 49 distribution centers •$2 billion in cumulative revenues •More than 100 millionaires created, averaging approximately one per month •1,700 surgeries provided for children born with cleft lip and cleft palate •About 5 million supplemental meals delivered to the world's malnourished

Amid continued global economic uncertainty, XANGO continues to expand, with the kickoff of a recent South American expansion initiative that now has the company doing business on six continents. More than 2 million independent distributors enjoy the low-risk, low-startup cost of the XANGO business opportunity. XANGO supports its distributors and the communities where they live through initiatives such as Women Building Bridges and the XANGO Goodness Foundation, which empower women entrepreneurs and support children's charities, respectively.

Launched from a small leased office suite in September 2002, XANGO has grown to encompass a global headquarters that spans more than 30 acres in Lehi, Utah, as well as 27 international offices in locations such as Mexico City, Moscow, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur, Milan, Cannes, Taipei, and others. XANGO founders chose September 11, 2002 as their date of incorporation, hoping to attach a positive association with the date that, just one year previous, had been so dark.

"We've all been through an amazing journey of growth and discovery during our first 10 years – and we've enjoyed great success amid two major economic global slowdowns," said Garrity. "Now, we're ready to move forward, building upon a strong legacy of changing lives, with confidence and optimism in the future and a renewed commitment to the distributors and consumers that make our business thrive. We're excited about the next 10 years and reaching millions more looking for the improved health and financial independence that XANGO can provide."

XANGO Launches FAVAO Weight Loss Program

LEHI, Utah, Jan. 3, 2012 -- Today, as millions of Americans include weight loss in their New Year's resolutions, FAVAO(TM) by XANGO offers a total lifestyle reset and a comprehensive program to help consumers lose the weight and keep it off. Unlike ineffective "magic" pills and fad diets on the market, the FAVAO program takes a different approach by focusing on three core principles: carefully formulated supplements, very doable workouts and a healthy, delicious meal plan to help consumers meet their goals. The result: not only a thinner waist, but a healthier, happier outlook for life.

"Nearly a decade ago, we revolutionized health and wellness by introducing the mangosteen fruit to a global market," said XANGO Founder, Chairman and CEO Aaron Garrity. "Today, we take another step in our company's history by offering a true, comprehensive solution to weight loss that tackles the physical, emotional and social obstacles behind so many Americans' weight gain. We're excited to offer people a life-long solution to not just losing weight but leading healthier, longer and more productive lives for themselves and the people they love."

"As a personal trainer, registered nurse and certified nutritionist, what I observed in working with people on their weight-loss goals was that many quit prematurely, grew frustrated or typically regained the weight due to extenuating factors," said Kristi Attaway, FAVAO program expert. "XANGO's intent in designing this program was to create--once and for all--something that would free people from their bad habits and give them a real, permanent solution that would change their life, their relationships and their long-term health.

Xango Recognized as Champion of Green Personal Care

Press Release | 12/1/2011

"As a company driven by a social purpose, XANGO takes very seriously its obligation to encourage sustainability, health and wellness in every aspect of its business," said XANGO Founder, Chairman and CEO Aaron Garrity. "When it comes to personal care products, our Glimpse and Juni lines prove that consumers do not have to sacrifice premium results to benefit their own health and safeguard the environment. We're excited to be part of a meaningful movement that changes the consumer mindset and leads the market toward a healthier future."

Mia Davis, organizing director of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics and coordinator of the new Safe Cosmetics Business Network, applauded XANGO "for being a Champion and for demonstrating that it's possible to make personal care products that far exceed current safety standards in the United States." Davis added, "The company is a great example of making safe products part of a successful business model; trends demonstrate natural and safe cosmetics make up the fastest-growing segment of the $50 billion cosmetics industry."

More details are available in a new report released today, "Market Shift: The story of the Compact for Safe Cosmetics and the growth in demand for safe cosmetics," which describes the seven-year project during which time the nonprofit organizations that make up the Campaign worked with companies in a unique partnership to raise the bar for safer personal care products.

XANGO's Glimpse® and Juni by XANGO® personal care lines target specific skin, hair and body needs from anti-aging to dry skin and scalp. At the core of the product formulas are plant-based ingredients starring the "Queen of Fruits," the mangosteen from Southeast Asia. Rich in antioxidants and other phytonutrients such as xanthones, the mangosteen enjoys a long history of use for the skin as a calming agent in Southeast Asian tradition. XANGO, a recognized category creator as the first company to bring mangosteen to a global market in the form of premium beverage XANGO® Juice, continues to lead development of mangosteen-based solutions for the entire body – inside and out.

"XANGO's commitment to apply green chemistry and avoid known toxins in our personal care brands is a stand we choose to take for our consumers and the people they love," said XANGO Senior Vice President and Creator of the Glimpse and Juni brands Beverly Hollister. "As a global wellness leader and a category creator, XANGO delights in introducing mangosteen and other naturally-based wellness products to the world. At the same time, we pledge to provide the market with innovative solutions that are responsibly produced and have a positive impact on our environment."

Today's announcement marked the completion of the Compact for Safe Cosmetics, though the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics will continue to advocate for safe, healthy products for all consumers by working with a broad range of companies in the new Safe Cosmetics Business Network and by working with voters and Congressional leaders to pass the Safe Cosmetics Act. If passed, this bill would update the 1938 cosmetics regulations.

Xango Releases New Mineral Treatment

Press Release | 6/7/2011

"These trends are key indicators of a second wave of XANGO global growth and expansion," said Conlee. "Together with our distributor partners, we're creating a standard that attracts those looking for a proven, growing opportunity to improve their health and financial wellness."

Among the expected announcements in Orlando, XANGO plans to relaunch its XANGO 3SIXTY5™ multivitamin and preview wellness product innovations for 2011. "The relaunch of XANGO 3SIXTY5 is the result of listening to the health and wellness needs of our distributors and consumers," explained XANGO Chief Marketing Officer, Larry MacFarlane. "This launch is just the first of several announcements to come within the next year that will demonstrate our continued commitment to creating fresh wellness opportunities for our distributors and consumers."

In addition to improving the health and wellness of consumers and enhancing their lifestyles, XANGO distributors actively support those who are less fortunate through the XANGO Goodness program. In Orlando, company representatives will report on XANGO Goodness humanitarian efforts around the world, including the completion of more than 450 cleft lip and cleft palate corrective surgeries and the continued distribution of XANGO Meal Packs for the world's chronically malnourished and hungry population. Since 2007, more than 2 million meals have been purchased. For more information, please visit www.XANGOGoodness.org.

Direct Sales Legend Joins XanGo

Press Release | 8/20/2010

"We're thrilled, in our eighth year, to have a dynamic, incredibly accomplished leader such as Lennon joining XanGo without a signing bonus or guaranteed position," says XanGo Founder and Chairman Aaron Garrity. "Lennon's achievements stand at the pinnacle of our industry, due in large part to his unique ability to inspire others and help them realize their potential. In XanGo, he can count on a strong partner with extraordinary executive leadership and a commitment to supporting our distributors in a way that accelerates their growth now and well into the future."

Ledbetter is among the very elite achievers in direct sales, his team having consistently generated many millions in annual revenue as a heralded leader in one of the three largest companies in the industry. Among his accomplishments at his former company, he reached its highest ranks and consistently earned among the top sales growth checks worldwide. A sought-after motivational speaker and trainer, Ledbetter has wowed audiences in dozens of cities domestically and internationally in front of packed stadiums. Remaining humble, he's also been known to spend considerable time offering one-on-one mentoring to his downline.

Commented XanGo President and CEO Robert Conlee, "Lennon is a proven leader whose boundless energy, focus and determination attracts people and helps them achieve like they never thought possible. With XanGo, he finds a like-minded commitment to teamwork and success; we look forward to what we will accomplish together."

Ledbetter's joining XanGo comes at a time when the company continues to push an aggressive global expansion, which includes eight new international markets in the past 15 months. He joins a growing list of industry leaders signing up with XanGo, amid a surge in rank advancements for the company's existing distributors.

"I'm extremely excited to find in XanGo an innovative, energetic partner that shares my commitment to work with people to help them realize their dreams," says Ledbetter. "By choosing to build from scratch with XanGo – just like any other person becoming a distributor today – I have the opportunity to closely mentor young and veteran networkers and help them make a true difference in the lives of the people they love and others they don't yet know."

Continues Ledbetter, "Because of XanGo's amazing founders and executive leadership, its commitment to category-creating products and its compensation plan, our future distributors will be able to yield a success unlike any other in direct sales."

Since the age of 18, Ledbetter has been driven to win and been mentored by top leaders in sports and business, including Hall of Fame football coach LaVell Edwards and world-renowned business author Stephen R. Covey. While playing on the nationally ranked Brigham Young University football teams on a full-ride athletic scholarship, he was introduced to direct sales and immediately recognized the opportunity to thrive in a career based on performance and consistent effort. Jumping at the opportunity to be trained by Dexter Yager, Jody Victor and other industry stalwarts, he soon determined to work tirelessly to learn the business and then help others believe in themselves and reach for their dreams.

Says Ledbetter, "I've seen people rise from nothing and through this business earn the resources to support their family, give back to charity and to enjoy the lives they've always dreamed of; that's very gratifying." A prolific speaker and motivator, Ledbetter has authored many CDs and DVDs and advocated the benefits of free enterprise to presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush as well as prominent members of Congress. Today, he continues his efforts to make a difference for thousands of self-entrepreneurs around the world.

Ledbetter is wasting no time building his business with XanGo. Starting later this week and continuing in the months to come, he will speak at opportunity meetings in Seattle, Phoenix, Salt Lake City and Southern California, with plans to visit Florida, Texas, the Ukraine and Russia – among other locations. He resides in Alpine, Utah, with his son and three daughters; his oldest daughter, Brittany, is a business partner. When not building a thriving XanGo business, he combines his love for family and exotic cars with rides in the scenic canyons near his home. Ledbetter also appreciates and collects fine art.

Xango Makes 2 Millionth Meal Donation

Press Release | 8/20/2010

"Everyone at XanGo—from the Founders and top executives to our distributors—is passionate about the Meal Pack program and contributing to the fight against world hunger," said XanGo Founder and Chairman Aaron Garrity. "This program allows us to leverage our global network of socially conscious XanGo distributors to make a direct, positive impact on the welfare of children and families who need it most."

Managed through a partnership between XanGo and global health and disaster relief organization AmeriCares, the XanGo Meal Pack program provides meal replacement packages to malnourished and undernourished children and adults from impoverished areas across the globe.

The 2 millionth meal donation from XanGo coincides with recent shipments of XanGo Meal Packs to Malawi and to Cambodia, one of the most impoverished nations in the world with almost 40 percent of children considered chronically malnourished.

Additionally, 80,000 pounds of XanGo Meal Packs were delivered to the rural areas of El Salvador last month. Purchased by individual XanGo distributors around the globe, the Meal Packs are shipped to AmeriCares' global partners with distribution costs donated through XanGo. The Meal Packs are then used in hospitals, clinics and refugee centers. The XanGo Meal Packs provide nourishment through a high-density oat flour base containing essential fats, minerals and vitamins. Since the program launched in October 2007, meals have also been served in Kenya, Zimbabwe, Ghana, Myanmar and Haiti.

"XanGo Meal Packs are reaching those most in need around the globe," said Randy Weiss, director of corporate relations at AmeriCares, a nonprofit global health and disaster relief organization. "Our continued partnership with XanGo helps achieve AmeriCares' goal of people living longer, healthier lives. We look forward to a continued partnership in the battle to help reduce chronic malnutrition and associated illness."

XanGo Branding and Bashing Heats Up in Utah

Npros.com | 6/15/2010

XanGo's estimated earnings for the time period between 2005 and 2006 were in the $38 million dollar range, with co-founders Garrity and Morton netting an astounding $6 plus million each in profits. Allegations of misuse of everything from company credit cards to expense accounts placed XanGo in the position of Defendant for several lawsuits.

Legal counsel for the company states that as with anyone who enjoys such phenomenal success in so short a time period, there will always be those who would seek to unravel the fabric holding things together. However, XanGo execs were responsible for spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on things like private chartered plane rides, shopping excursions in elite New York stores, pianos, vacations in Hawaii, and personal gifts for spouses on the company credit card, while also being given a substantial $6,000 per month vehicle allowance.

Although both Garrity and Morton have enjoyed their share of accolades for time spent in the multi-level marketing arena with such companies as Enrich International, and Morinda Holdings (who operate Tahitian Noni International), XanGo is now receiving scrutiny for not only the financial practices, but further allegations that the founders 'stole' their idea for the mangosteen based juice from Morinda, and did not get it from Joe Morton's call to Aaron Garrity regarding a fruit he was served in a restaurant, as claimed. Morinda would later sue the five founders of XanGo based upon these allegations. The matter was settled out of court, and the records are sealed.

Angel Investors LLC, a 1 percent stock owner in XanGo, is among those filing lawsuits against the company. The Plaintiff is claiming that XanGo was “recklessly run” and thereby caused financial damage through improper conduct to its shareholders. The lack of accounting controls over the use of personal credit cards seems to be the prevalent basis for the lawsuit.

Company spokespersons and legal counsel state that such gifts and bonuses are commonplace in the marketing industry and that all expenses have been accounted for and reported for tax purposes.

Xango Introduces Its Most Successful Salesman

Npros.com | 5/31/2010

The Xango presentation was attended by over 120 people and took place at the Marriott Hotel last Friday, where guests listened to Unkefer – who earns a six figure sum every month from his multi level marketing network.

Mr. Unkefer claimed in front of an international audience that Xango was the best company the multi level marketing industry had ever seen, and provided a system and marketing plan that generated “massive success.”

“It is really just the beginning. The company is still only eight years old, and there will be a second wave of success with the new skin care range, which is going to have a massive impact.” said Sherman after explaining that it wasn't too late to enjoy success as a company distributor.

Sherman indicated that Xango was “...on the cusp of a massive period of growth and we see our company growing hugely in a very short period of time.”

XanGo Distributors Look To Las Vegas Amid Growth Surge

Npros.com | 4/26/2010

XanGo saw its number of new sign-ups which indicate growth in the direct sales industry as it recently reached its highest point in several years, up as much as 33 percent. Various other performance cues such as retention rates and average order size have increased substantially.

"Our business model enables a unique partnership between corporate headquarters and our network of distributors — a partnership that we constantly work to refine and improve. We're pleased with the success experienced by many of our distributors, and that the steps we take to help fuel their growth really work; as expected, this helps increase the company's market presence, also." Scott Smith, General Manager for the U.S. and Canada, commented.

Tahitian Noni YouTube Video Yanked

Npros.com | 4/23/2010

After responding to YouTube, TNI expects the video to be available again within 10 business days. Currently, the video is still available on major web sites such as Yahoo, Flickr, Vimeo and Facebook.

“Interesting that a competitor asked YouTube to pull the video, such a strong reaction to the video has brought more attention to it, and actually increased the interest and viewership. TNI has responded to YouTube, and the video should soon be back up.” stated Jeff Wasden, Vice president of Global Marketing for Tahitian Noni International.

TNI claims that the video known as "The Iridoid Difference" was created as an interesting and fun way to demonstrate the difference between TNI superfruit juices and others available on the market. In particular, the flavonoids and carotenoids in most superfruit juices degrade rapidly after processing, pasteurization, and in excessive light and storage periods. Tahitian Noni Bioactive Beverages are said to remain potent for the full duration shelf life according to the company.

XanGo Press Release

Press Release | 4/21/2010

Looking ahead, XanGo and Operation Smile will make a return visit to Guadalajara, Mexico, for the fourth time in two years, where they expect to perform 100 surgeries from May 17 to 23. The following week, XanGo and Operation Smile will make their first trip to Chonburi, Thailand, to provide 100 surgeries to children of the farmers who harvest mangosteen fruit, the source of XanGo’s success. The season of smiles will conclude with a July mission to Ulan Ude, Russia – a country in which XanGo started doing business last year – to perform 50 surgeries.

“With their unceasing energy and enthusiasm for doing good, the XanGo community shares with Operation Smile a common commitment to the children of the world,” says Operation Smile Co-Founder Bill Magee. “Operation Smile is honored to be a part the XanGo family and truly grateful that this shared passion continues to grow and change the lives of children and their families across the globe.”

Each year, more than 200,000 children are born with a cleft lip and/or cleft palate, and are often unable to eat, speak, socialize or smile. With the help of dedicated medical volunteers and through generous donations and partnerships, Operation Smile provides free surgeries to children around the world, healing their smiles and bringing hope for a better future.

XanGo’s support of Operation Smile stems from a core value to transcend mere “check-writing” and change lives. XanGo routinely provides monetary donations, advisory board participation, volunteer programs and partnerships in medical expeditions, community education and humanitarian efforts. Of particular interest is improving the lives of children around the world and mobilizing to address disasters and crises.

XanGo® Juice May Help Lower Marker of Inflammation and Improve Weight and Body Fat

Npros.com | 4/9/2010

Mike Pugh, a scientist at XanGo, explains, “The reason why the scientific community is interested in probing inflammation is that it may be an early indicator of heart attack, stroke and diabetes, potentially even lung disease, skin conditions and arthritis. So, scientists test CRP as a first step in assessing an individual’s level of inflammation, and then, in turn, they use that to help picture a patient’s potential for these serious diseases.” Current understanding of body fat suggests that reducing inflammation may also assist in managing one’s weight, which may have wellness benefits of its own.

XanGo’s chief marketing officer, Larry Macfarlane, elaborates on why XanGo whole-heartedly supported the research performed by Dr. Jay Udani at Medicus Research in California, “Sometimes, consumers turn to pharmaceutical products as a preventive measure to maintain good health. While consumers should always consult with their healthcare provider before changing their dietary regimen, XanGo realizes that our flagship product, XanGo Juice, might provide a natural alternative for maintaining good health.”

In the study, Dr. Udani tested three different dosages (varying between three to nine ounces) of XanGo Juice against a placebo juice. Participants consumed the assigned beverages twice a day, in the morning and evening. All three dosages of XanGo Juice demonstrated an ability to reduce CRP as a marker of inflammation. Dr. Udani comments, “Subjects who consumed the highest dose demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in CRP (1.33 mg/L). The other doses had non-significant reductions in CRP while the placebo group actually increased their CRP level.”

Body fat percentage was significantly different between the three-ounce juice group and placebo. This three-ounce group also experienced a significantly lower body mass index (BMI) score compared with placebo at eight weeks. The six-ounce group had significantly lower BMI than placebo at four weeks and at eight weeks.

Dr. Udani reports that no side effects or safety concerns emerged at any dosage tested, and cautions that longer studies with larger numbers of participants are needed to confirm the findings and further probe a possible dose-dependent effect. However, this first human clinical trial points to exciting avenues for XanGo Juice’s use in the maintenance of heart health and other conditions that may be connected to inflammation.

Previous research shows the xanthones in XanGo Juice may possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that may help sustain a healthy cardiovascular system, support cartilage and joint function, support the immune system, promote a healthy seasonal respiratory system, maintain intestinal health and neutralize free radicals.*

XanGo Juice is sold by XanGo’s global network of more than 1 million independent distributors. To locate a distributor near you, visit http://www.xango.com.

Xango in the Montreal Gazette

Montreal Gazette | 9/24/2007

The price: $38 for 750 mL

The smell: Raspberry jam

The look: The bottle is curvy and sporty, and emblazoned with the words "Discover the goodness!" The liquid pours out dark, thick and impenetrable, a remarkably deep ruby colour.

The taste: Red licorice concentrate. It's tangy with black currants and berries, though there's barely a taste of the delicate mangosteen itself in this blended beverage. The texture is a refined pulp that a lot of folks would see fit to water down before imbibing.

The story: We've done pomegranates. We've done açaí. We've done gobi. So what's the super-fruit of the week and what's the buzzword that comes with it? That would be the mangosteen, a South Asian crop with a lychee-like appearance and a flavour reminiscent of grapes and pears. Do we really need scientists to tell us what people who have eaten this stuff for centuries already know? Maybe we do, because immune-bolstering antioxidants called xanthones appear to be its ticket to fame. As a result, mangosteen sales are looking up. For a lesser star of the fruit world, it suddenly has an amazing number of manufacturers.

Xango in Produce News

FreshPlaza | 7/16/2007

Xango is touting a new 'easily duplicable' analytical method, for identifying xanthones in the rind of mangosteen fruit, as supporting the health benefits of its high end juice line.

The Utah-based mangosteen juice company distributes the product worldwide through direct marketing. The peer-reviewed, single lab validated high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of selected xanthones in mangosteen was published in June's issue of the Journal of Separation Science.

Promoting ingredients or products along the line of validation methods may become more prevalent as manufacturers and labs alike increasingly highlight the disparities between nutritional content claims and how these can be affected by the exact sourcing of compounds.

This study "ensures a more consistent and reliable marketing of mangosteen products to consumers relative to claims of xanthone content," said lead researcher Edward Walker, from Weber State University.

But for its fans, it’s not “just” a juice. They call it a “miracle” or “God’s juice.”

A number of people in North Alabama have turned away from mainstream medicine and have instead turned to this bottled supplement. Many of them religiously take the natural remedy for various ailments, often after frustrating bouts with modern medicine that brought no relief.

Mangosteen juice has helped 74-year-old Frank Sharrott of Hartselle thrive despite leukemia, his sister Gail Puckett find relief from arthritis and heartburn, and their friend Shelby Powell get her voice back, they say. And dozens of other locals also can share their own stories with the juice.

Apples, oranges and bananas are super fruits, but not superfruits. These conventional fruits have laudable nutrient profiles and will always be great, healthy options, but they may soon be competing on a large scale with more exotic fruits. “The term superfruits has gone from being a catch-all phrase used by manufacturers to refer to new, exotic fruits with high antioxidant properties to being an accepted category of products on the retail and consumer level,” said Alex Moffett, president of Renaissance Herbs.

Discussion of superfruits in the health arena has centered on their antioxidant capacities, numerically referenced as ORAC values, and the potential role they may play in chipping away at diseases great and small. Research on these compounds’ effects on the oxidization of cholesterol continues to mount, and manufacturers are meeting increasing market demand for these antioxidant-rich ingredients. Exotic sources such as pomegranate, mangosteen, goji, açaí, noni, camu camu and others are gaining acceptance because of promising research.

This will sound strange so grab your reality and hold on. XanGo is a drink made from the fruit of an evergreen tree called "mangosteen." While it sounds like it is a tree grown in Brooklyn, it is not. Anyway, a dose a day, cold from the refrigerator, hits the back of the throat with the smack power of antioxidants. The daily dose is said to improve the quality of life. No official claims can be made but it has been used in Asia for hundreds of years to keep the people healthy and paying taxes. Xango uses the whole fruit, both the pulp and the rind, so you get the power you pay for. Also it comes in a nice red bottle.

Mayor Fines Himself for Promoting Xango

The Beacon Journal | 6/17/2006

NEWARK, Ohio - The mayor of this central Ohio city has fined himself $368 for sending an e-mail that promoted his son's part-time beverage business to city workers.

"I violated the computer use policy I helped write," Bain said at a news conference on Thursday. "You have to use the computer only for city business. How can I say to a city employee, 'Don't do that,' if I do it?"

Bain said he realized the mistake on his own and calculated the fine of two days' pay based on his annual salary of roughly $66,000. He paid the city tax office by check.

Bain said he is not involved in the business and only wanted to help his son and city workers make extra money.

The Royal Gazette | 6/11/2006

A DIETARY supplement drink is being aggressively marketed in Bermuda, and its manufacturers are hoping residents will embrace its health benefits as eagerly as people have elsewhere. Called Xango Juice, the drink consists of mangosteen, an Asian fruit said to possess powerful anti-oxidant properties.

Xango Resolves Three Year Dispute

Daily Herald | 5/12/2006

Details weren't available as the settlement agreement reached Thursday between Tahitian Noni International Inc. of Provo and XanGo LLC of Lehi was confidential, and all court documents concerning the dispute are sealed.

Tahitian Noni sued XanGo and several of its top executives in February 2003 in 4th District Court in Provo, alleging the executives stole Tahitian Noni's concept for a mangosteen-based supplement while they were employed by the Provo company's parent, Morinda Co.

The lawsuit also claimed Morinda has exclusive intellectual property rights to XanGo's juice supplement and sought a constructive trust be imposed on all of XanGo's assets, business opportunities, benefits and profits.

But XanGo disputed Tahitian Noni's allegations in a countersuit. Aaron Garrity, XanGo's president and chief operating officer, in a previous interview with the Daily Herald said the idea for the business took root when Joe Morton, one of XanGo's founders, stumbled on the mangosteen fruit at a restaurant in Malaysia and found numerous scientific reports that supported the health benefits of the tropical fruit.
