At our research lab,
Phytoceutical Research, LLC we believe that science is the guardian
that stands at the gates of knowledge to exclude the frivolous.
However, we recognize that science is not the sole arbiter of truth and
the wisdom of the ages, often not amenable to the evaluation of
science, is of equal importance in establishing the truth of all
propositions. Accordingly, we are dedicated to the effort necessary to
glean the truth from both science and traditional wisdom in order to
present it to our clients in the field of Natural Products

Behind the Fruit
Named for the French explorer Laurentiers Garcin (1673-1751) the mangosteen is thought to
have originated in Southeast Asia. It has been used for thousands of
years in Chinese, Aryuvedic and folk medicine in Asia. As a result of
the mangosteen fruit's exquisite flavor, it has been given the nickname
of the "Queen of Fruits", and in the French Caribbean the "Food of the
Gods".
