Mangosteens
The Mangosteen fruit (or Garcinia mangostana, as it is known scientifically) is exotic, delicious and is packed with full of xanthones and other phytonutrients that demonstrate impressive health benefits.
What are Xanthones?
Xanthones are biologically active plant phenols found in a few selective tropical plants. There are over 200 xanthones discovered and the mangosteen has over 40.
Xanthones have been found to support and enhance the body’s immune system. Xanthones also exhibits strong Antioxidant activity which is beneficial for neutralizing free radicals in the body.
Facts about Xanthones
The Mangosteen has by far the most xanthones of any plant. The pericarp of the mangosteen fruit contains a vast majority of xanthones. Xanthones are some of the most potent antioxidants known. In fact, many doctors refer to xanthones as “super xanthones”.
GM-1
GM-1 was founded by scientists at the Thai Mangosteen Research and Development Centre (TMRDC). It is the most active element amongst the 41 xanthones founded in mangosteens.
GM-1 is a safe substance, 5 times safer than citric acid in orange juice. There is no known side effects from overdose.
In some latest studies, the TMRDC scientists had significant results which shed light on how GM-1 acts on the body. It optimizes the body’s immune system to fight infections and diseases.
GM-1 optimizes the immune system to defend against infectious organisms and other invaders. It is made up of a network of cell, tissues and organs that work together to protect the body.
From Lab Bench To Market Place
A public organization and a public company have joined hands with some world class medical scientists from leading universities from Thailand to inaugurate OPERATION “BIM” with the aim of ensuring good health for people around the world. In addition, the project will give rise to a sustainable industry making valuable use of Thai fruits and grains as raw materials thus contributing to the local economy by helping maintain and increase the prices of the natural products.
OPERATION “BIM” (Balancing Immunity) will ensure longevity to the world’s population, which will enable them to live happily in good health. People’s bodies will be equipped with the preventive ability to resist any contamination or unfamiliar agents threatening their health by entering their system to create diseases caused by toxic chemicals, fungus, bacteria, viruses and cancerous cells. Moreover, it can reduce all kinds of abnormalities related to auto-immune related diseases that result in all sorts of skin problems such as psoriasis, as well as other common illnesses including gastroenteropathy, arthrosis, diabetes, allergies, heart disease, liver and kidney inflammation, asthma, epilepsy.
Our physical ability to prevent and/or reduce abnormal symptoms in the body that cause physical deterioration and discomfort is based on the body’s ability to adjust itself to maintain a good balance of immunity to prevent infection or the negative effects of encountering intrusions of foreign or dangerous agents to the point of suffering from auto-immune diseases (auto-immunotherapy or immunomodulation)
This immunomodulation results from the increase of interleukin 2,the biomolecule that boost the body’s immune system by a moderate level that does not produce negative side effects. At the same time, it also decreases the level of interleukin 1, the biomolecules that cause auto-immune diseases.
This ability of one’s body to boost interleukin 2 and reduce interleukin 1 has been made possible by consuming the natural products of special formula “BIM”, resulting from the scientists’31 years experience in the field, combined with modern knowledge of biomolecules that have proven to be beneficial medicinally.
Now, by taking products from OPERATION “BIM”, we can boost the interleukin 2 level in the body by 3-4 times in 3 days without any side-effects. It can also, at the same time, remedy auto-immune related diseases.
Interleukin 2 is approved by US-FDA for cancer treatment by intravenous administration or subcutaneous injection. One drug company had an income of over 124 million USD from this product in 2005. The treatment is effective but has side-effects.
The assembling of wisdom, knowledge, expertise and research experience of medical scientists from various disciplines aims to achieve this goal with the support from the Agricultural Research Development Agency (Public Organization) and Asian Phytoceuticals Public Co., Ltd. by inaugurating OPERATION “BIM” which marks the first and foremost collaboration of valuable human resources of its kind in the history of Thailand’s scientific circles.
Operation BIM
Now, by taking products from Operation "BIM" Balance Immune, we can boost the interleukin-2 level in the body by 3-4 times in 3 days without any side effect. At the same time, we can also remedy auto-immune related diseases.

Our immune system tries to keep trillions of cells in our bodies protected from disease-causing toxins, free radicals, viruses, bacteria, fungi and other harmful agents.
At times, though, our immune system gets overwhelmed. Our bodies get sick, often because of free radical damage.
A free radical is an unstable atom with an unpaired electron. When a free radical comes in contact with a stable atom, it steals the electron it needs from the stable atom. This leaves the once stable atom irreparably damaged and prone to succumb to disease.
Antioxidants counteract free radicals. They have an extra electron that they can share with free radicals. Because of this ability, they are able to prevent free radicals from attacking healthy atoms or cells.
Mangosteen contains powerful antioxidants and immune system boosters called Xanthones, natural chemical compounds which were proven to possess a variety of potent medicinal properties.
Xanthones occupy a special place in the Mangosteen's arsenal of healing compounds. They have been shown to have more potent antioxidant activity than vitamin E, one of nature's most powerful known antioxidants.
A laboratory test known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity), for example, showed that an ounce of Mangosteen juice provides 20 to 30 times more capacity to absorb free radicals than an ounce of most fruits and vegetables.
Mangosteen’s Other Natural Compounds
Mangosteen also contains other potent natural compounds like catechins, polysaccharides, quinones, stilbenes and polyphenols.
Catechins were discovered to be five times more potent as antioxidants than vitamin C.
Polysaccharides are highly potent anti-cancer and anti-bacterial plant compounds. They help block a mutated cell's ability to stick to healthy cells to help stop the spread of cancer, and are specially effective against intracellular bacteria.
Quinones are known for their anti-bacterial properties and also are strong oxidants.
Stilbenes in plants defend these plants against fungi. Interestingly, stilbenes also maintain their anti-fungal properties even when ingested. They also are strong antioxidants.
Polyphenols were found to be far more more potent as antioxidants than vitamin E, considered one of the most powerful known antioxidants.
