Does Zambroza contain both the fruit and pericarp (rind) of the Mangosteen?
Yes, Zambroza contains all parts of the mangosteen fruit, seeds fruit and the rare pericarp rind enriched with Xanthones! Q: I thought that XanGo had a patent on the use of the mangosteen pericarp and that no one else can use it? A: It is not entirely true that XanGo has a patent on the use of mangosteen or mangosteen pericarp. As we all know, you can’t patent a natural ingredient. Rather, their patent was claiming that the use of a good-tasting ingredient to mask the bad taste of a health-promoting ingredient (mangosteen pericarp) was new and unique. In fact, this type of masking of bad-tasting ingredients is well-known to those skilled in the art. In fact XanGo’s patent was re-examined by the US Patent Office and on April 21/05 all 81 of their patent claims were rejected. Here is some info on how to access the documents to see for yourself: Here is the link to the patent office PAIR system, where you can view/print the patent rejection.
