The latest news for VitalXan is it has been officially announced that the double blind clinical trials using Vitalxan starts Feb 2011.

James Cook University is starting a pioneering study of the mangosteen,a tropical fruit that originated in South-East Asia
and is grown in the Far North, to examine its potential use as a side effect free treatment for schizophrenia.

Mangosteens are high in nutrients called xanthones,which have been
found to have strong antioxidant activity, supporting the body’s immune system.
Xanthones are found in concentrated amounts in the purple rind, the pericarp,of the mangosteen.
The study is sponsored by Mangosteen Dietary Supplements, a
South Australian company that produces Vitalxan,a mangosteen health
extract.

JCU Professor of Nursing Kim Usher said patients suffering schizophrenia would take about 2000mg of Vitalxan mangosteen product daily for about six months.

“It’s proven to be safe – Vitalxan a fruit juice supplement,
anyway,” Prof Usher said.

“All we’re doing is giving it to people at a slightly larger dose of the purified pericarp instead of the preserved mangosteen fruit
juices available commercially,for about 180 days.”

Some side effects existing anti-psychotic medications have include dry
mouth, constipation,blurred vision, drowsiness,sexual dysfunction
and menstrual changes.

Prof Usher said the fruit had the potential to change the lives of people with the mental illness.

“If this study proves successful,it will be a wonderful thing,” she said.

“People living with schizophrenia live a life of taking medication.”

I have had a stroke Nov; 03 plus shunt & brain surgy to reduce a benign tumor on the brain stem, plus Radio therepy general & stereotactic. I have been taking Xango since my stroke which has been a great help to me with increased energy. VitalXan is now my product of joice as it gives me a good result & I am able to vary the strength & is a LOT more less expensive than the other product.
I have recently sent samples to Salt Lake City & will let Tim know the results. It can be advetised & is considered an equal Mangosteen product to any other I have taken & a lot cheaper. If you contact me in the future I will let you know of any developments. My Email is pattiadrn1@gotalk.net,au & I am also on Skype or can call you if you give me your phone number, Best Regards Adrian
