improvement. Begin with Health Improvement Dose #2.

*Take mangosteen at least 15 minutes before a meal and at least 30

minutes after one.

For those with excellent health.

1. The average Maintenance dose for an average adult is one ounce of Mangosteen juice a day. This may be increased to two ounces during times of stress or illness.

Take them within a half hour before eating some food.

2. Athletes may prefer to take 2 ounces, and if you are large-framed or overweight, you may want to take more. If you are small-framed or under 100 lbs. you may only need an ounce or a tablespoonful a day.

This allows you to address any possible nutritional deficiencies in a much shorter time and to saturate your body with the mangosteen healing compounds.

1. Take two ounces (1/4 cup) of mangosteen twice a day. Take your second dose at least 4-6 hours after the first. If you want or feel you need to, try a third two-ounce dose. Take them within a half-hour before eating some food.

2. Follow the Loading Dose for seven days which will require about one bottle of mangosteen.

These amounts are for those with chronic, acute or serious conditions, for preparing your body before surgery and helping it to recover afterward, for helping your body to heal after surgery, and so on. This dosage level is if you circled one or more 4's but no 5's.

1. Take four to six ounces of mangosteen a day for at least two weeks. Spread the ounces throughout the day. Take them on an empty stomach, two ounces at a time.

2. When your symptoms improve, reduce your daily dosage to a maintenance level.  If your symptoms start to return, resume this procedure.

Mangosteen juice Health Improvement Dose #2 is a more aggressive approach. Try it if you circled any 5's.

1. Take eight to 12 ounces of mangosteen a day. The more serious you consider your condition, the higher your daily amount should be. Spread the ounces throughout the day. Take them within a half-hour before eating some food, two ounces at a time.

2. When your symptoms improve, reduce your daily dosage by one or two ounces. Take this amount daily for another two weeks.

3. If your symptoms continue to improve, reduce your daily dosage by another ounce or two. Take this amount for another two weeks. Continue to reduce your daily dosage by one to two ounces every two weeks until you reach a daily dosage of three ounces.

When your symptoms improve, it is important to reduce your daily dosages slowly.

We have found when people with serious conditions reduce their amounts of a natural healing substance too quickly they may find not only that the symptoms return but that their body does not respond to the healing substance as effectively as it did before.

Reducing a dosage gradually is essential to give the body time to heal. Just because symptoms are reduced doesn't mean the underlying condition is healed. This can take time, and during that time, mangosteen's support can be invaluable.
