Q: Does anyone know the gujurati or hindi name for a fruit called garcinia?
Does anyone know the gujurati or hindi name for a fruit called garcinia? I've heard it has great medicinal value but would like to know what it is called in gujurati or hindi so that I can find it as a fruit or dried fruit. Thanks in advance!
So, is Kokkum that black thing in daal? Isn't it bitter?
A: Mangosteen fruit (AAL in Hindi)
The mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) is a tropical evergreen tree, believed to have originated in the Sunda Islands and the Moluccas. The tree grows from 7 to 25 meters tall. The edible fruit is deep reddish purple when ripe. In Asia, the mangosteen fruit is known as the "Queen of Fruits." for its indescribably delicious flavor. It is closely related to other edible tropical fruits such as button mangosteen and lemondrop mangosteen.
The outer shell of the fruit is rather hard, typically 4-6 cm in diameter. Cutting through the shell, one finds an edible fruit shaped like a peeled tangerine but bright white, about 3-5 cm in diameter, nested in a deep red outer pod. Depending on the size and ripeness, there might be seeds in the segments of the white edible fruit. The seeds, however, are not edible unless cooked. The number of fruit pods is directly related to the number of petals on the bottom of the shell. On average a mangosteen has 5 fruits (round up figure).
There is a story, possibly apocryphal, about Queen Victoria offering a cash reward to anyone who could deliver to her the fabled fruit. Although available in cans and frozen, mangosteens are rarely sold fresh in Western countries except rarely in some Asian grocery stores; they are illegal to import without fumigation as whole fruit into the United States due to fears that they harbor the Asian fruit fly which would devastate US crops if it were ever introduced. In the future new irradiation techniques may allow importation of this delicacy. Products derived from the mangosteen are legally imported into the U.S. such as juices and nutritional supplements.
The mangosteen is now being grown and sold on some of the Hawaiian islands, although presently not exported to the continental U.S. for the reasons stated above. However, Hawaiian growers are working with a Honolulu irradiation facility for future export to the continental United States. The mangosteen is also grown, and very popular in Central Africa, and particularly in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. An ultra-tropical, the Mangosteen tree must be grown in consistently warm conditions; exposure to temperatures below 40 °F (4 °C) will generally kill a mature plant.
The shell of mangosteens looks tough and hard, but they are soft and easy to open. To open a mangosteen, the shell is usually broken apart, not cut; one holds the fruit in both hands, and presses it gently (thumbs on one side, the other fingers on the other) until the shell cracks. It is then very easy to pull the halves apart along the crack and remove the fruit, taking care with the purplish, inky juice that the outer red part of the fruit contains. Mangosteen juice is a dye which can be almost impossible to remove from fabric (the reason why they are banned from some hotels in countries where they are available).
Q: How safe is this combination: garcinia, guarana, gymnema, bitter orange?
They are the contents of a juice bar's "burn power shot," which claims to help burn fat. I have read that one is not supposed to mix guarana with ephedrine; bitter orange contains synephrine, which is similar to ephedrine. How safe would it be to have a small dose every day and what time of the day would that be recommended? Thank you.
A: This is a fantastic choice and also has allow of positive results take 3 doses per day in the morning afternoon and evening. the only thing is as soon As you stop taking it the fat come back with avengence.

A: tons of caffeine ! , it may cause stomachache or cramps.
you may feel palpitation , the mix sounds a bit dangerous, the best time for energy bars is before and after you workout, it is not good just to take them without any exercise, I would not get more than one bar every day, check the carbs, sugar, calories and proteins. Most of energy bars are loaded with sugar and give you a false energy buzz that wears off very fast, makes you hungrier and tired
While natural sources of energy are great , I would not dare to mix different substances at the same time.
I like coca tea to speed up my methabolism

Q: garcinia cambogia pills what are they good for?
A: losing weight
Uses
Many species of Garcinia have edible fruit, which are eaten locally, sometimes not even known just a few hundred kilometres away. The best known species is the Purple Mangosteen (G. mangostana), which is now cultivated throughout southeastern Asia and other tropical countries after recent introduction. Less well known is Kandis (G. forbesii) with small round red fruits with subacid taste and melting flesh. Tropical species in Garcinia are known for their brownish-yellow gum-resin (xanthone), used as pigments, as purgative or cathartic. Extracts of the rind of certain species (specifically Garcinia cambogia) are used widely as appetite suppressants
Good luck! ;D

Q: Has anyone heard of this strange fruit from South Asia thats not imported? Its called...?
The mangosteen fruit or scientific name garcinia mangostana.
Whats more interesting is what this fruit is capable of. With centuries of folk law, the people in Thailand and other places South Asia grind the fruit up to make medicine out of the pericarp of the fruit. It is even linked to Queen Victoria who was also interested in the folk law behind the fruit and its taste. She even called it 'The Queen of Fruits'.
Centuries on there has been decades of scientific research done on the mangosteen fruit that you can even locate on the internet. Scientific papers show that there over 17000 anti-oxidants in the fruit. Well thats a lot considering most fruits have less than 3000 anti-oxidants.
This fruit has been discovered to help a number of illnesses and diseases. The company XanGo have taken the fruit and made it into an health beverage. I reckon in the next 3 years everyone will have heard of XanGo!

Q: Is there any reason why parents would feed their 6 month old, Suddenly Slim, Body FX, a weight control bev mix
I recently babysat a 6 month old baby. His parents gave me a product called Suddenly Slim Body FX The label said it is "The perfect Meal Replacement". It is a weight control Beverage Mix. The father said that the pediatrician said it was ok, but I have my doubts. This is what they are giving him instead of formula. This was the first time I met these people.
The baby also has the worse diaper rash I have ever seen. I think it is a yeast infection, but I am wondering if the stuff they feed him is causing it.
Here is a partial list of some ingredients from the company's website.
Suddenly Slim is a weight loss program of diet pills and meal replacement shakes. Body FX. Each contain a large number of herbal ingredients which are common in diet pills, including: garcinia campogia, chromium picolinate, green tea, kola nut, hydroxycitric acid, chitin, dandelion root, cayenne, L-carnitine and many others
Should a 6 month old be consuming all that stuff?
A: Holy hell no. A baby should definitely not have green tea and kola nut and cayenne... I have no idea what the rest of that stuff is but it is not what a new baby should be eating.
If you're a teenager, tell to your mom and/or dad about this. Something like this may deserve a call to child protective services.
Q: Is anyone interested in trying a case of XanGo?
The main ingredient of the XanGo health beverage is the mangosteen which tastes great. In with that is the pericarp of the mangosteen scientific name 'garcinia mangostana' which has more anti-oxidants and xanthones of any other fruit. The mangosteen is regarded as the 'queen of fruits' and after trying it myself I have reaped in the benefits of this amazing drink being a bit skeptical at first. It has given me more energy and I feel better in myself. There are years of scientific research and papers devoted to the mangosteen that prove to be very interesting and it is no wonder that the company XanGo took the ball and ran with it.
If you do have health issues or want to discover whats in the mangosteen pericarp, obviously before you try a bottle please visit my website

Does it sound good? Will it help me to lose weight? What do you think of it?
NO DIET & EXERCISE TIPS PLEASE!
IF YOU SAY SO, I'LL THINK YOU'RE A TROLL!
A: I'm going to try and be sincere here, but there is no tablet out there that will help you lose weight without efforts on diet and exercise. The bottom line is, attempts to develop weight loss tablets, do so by mimicking diet and exercise. In other words, they either affect how much food you absorb, suppress your appetite, or increase your metabolic rate (much like exercise would). Even bariatric surgery works to a large extent by limiting how much you eat. I've seen so many overweight people claim to eat hardly anything, and exercise for hours a day, that I'm believing to doubt the laws of physics, but I suspect this self delusion is the underlying problem. This will not be a popular answer, but at least it's honest.
