The Mangosteen tree only grows in tropical environments with temperatures between 40° to 100°F (5° -38°C). The fruits can be picked when they are slightly unripe. But the fruit must be fully developed or else it will not fully ripen after picking. A ripe Mangosteen fruit can stay good for up to four weeks when stored between 40° to 55° F. In local growing areas, fresh Managosteen fruit is often consumed for dessert.

Nutrients & Applications:

Mangosteen has long been used for its purported anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties. The xanthones in Mangosteen are very potent antioxidants. Research has shown that these xanthones can have a positive effect on preventing atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries. Scientists in India and Japan began investigating Mangosteen in the l990s and demonstrated that Mangosteen has powerful anti-inflammatory properties. Dried Mangosteen powder is used to overcome dysentery.

There are dozens of volumes that describe the details of the hundreds of different types of clay in terms of geological formation, mineral composition, and physical characteristics. In the most simple general terms, a clay is a natural earthy material, which becomes plastic when wet. I would suggest that you think of clay as a large family of minerals, and within that family, there are sub-families, one of which is nontmorillonite. In the montmorillonite family, there are sub-families, one of which is bentonite. In the bentonite family, there is sodium bentonite and calcium bentonite, each having different properties. According to geologists sodium bentonite is volcanic ash that fell in seawater; calcium bentonite is volcanic ash, which fell in fresh water. Even in the sodium bentonites, there are differences in properties and qualities.

BioNatural Mineral Clay is a sodium type bentonite, but it seems to give greater benefits than most sodium bentonite because of the high mineral content of this clay.
