MyLife Mangosteen Essence is the result of numerous years of research and dedication. Xanthones derived from the mangosteen fruit has been combined with a proprietary blend of essential minerals and other key phytonutrients which can enhance the human immune system. The key is balance. Interleukin 1 is released when there is an immediate injury to the body, as evidenced by inflammation, swelling and a febrile response. This is appropriate, but an unchecked continuation of this process could adversely affect the host and even cause death. Therefore at some point this process must be turned off. The increase in Interleukin 2 thus facilitates the repair and regeneration of healthy tissue at the cellular level.

MyLife Mangosteen Essence xanthones has found the key to help the immune system to fine tune this very delicate balance of Interleukin 1 & 2 in our body. This is important as we age when the immune system starts to fail and to be challenged by environmental toxins. The human body in all of its remarkable ability to repair and heal itself may succumb to adverse events.

As we live longer, we also wish to have an enhanced quality of life.

One of the more recent scientific breakthroughs have been the discovery of the molecules "cytokines".  This class of immune system chemicals covers much of what are the nuts and bolts of how we fight disease and infection.  The cytokines consist of numerous immune system molecules called interleukins.  The interleukins are an area of intense investigation. The interleukins help maintain that balance.  Each year, there are more and more research and discoveries that we learn about to see how this balance is affected by the interleukins.  Imagine our excitement to find out that Dr. Pichaet has been working in this same field for the past 20 years!  During this time, he has been able to develop products that affect and help to balance this system.  One study showed an increase in one of the interleukins by over 400%!  All this with no side effects!  Safe, effective immune balancing products that really do something for us.  This is something revolutionary.  Something that has been measured.  Something that has showed efficacy.

The remedy of the symptoms in the body is the result of balancing the immunity or immunomodulation to achieve auto-immunotherapy.

The following charts measure the effect of the Mangosteen BIM capsules on Interleukin 1 and 2. These are healthy subjects 25-30 years of age, 4 females and 3 males. The dosage is one capsule 3 times per day.

A series of GM-1 derivatives were prepared and then tested for their activities on LDL oxidation. Some of them exhibited more profound effects than GM-1 itself. Therefore, some structural modifications of GM-1 are capable of enhancing its antioxidant activity.
GM-1 and its derivatives have also been shown to be antiplasmodial, antioxidant, and inhibiting eukaryote protein kinases and cyclic nucleotide-binding phosphatase.

The detailed study of GM-1 for its anti-inflammation and analgesia showed that GM-1 exhibited stronger anti-inflammatory activity three times over that of aspirin as seen in carrageenin-induced rat paw edema, rat pleurisy and on the primary lesion of adjuvant-induced arthritis models. Furthermore GM-1 elicited analgesic effect when tested in acetylcholine-induced writhing response in mice.
