Scientific exploration, extraction methods, structural analysis, and supply solutions for global commercial applications.
Alpha-Mangostin (Formula: C24H26O6, CAS No: 6147-11-1) is a natural xanthone compound predominantly isolated from the pericarp of the mangosteen fruit (Garcinia mangostana L.). Recognized as a highly potent polyphenol, α-Mangostin has garnered substantial attention due to its structural stability and its broad-spectrum pharmacological activities. Unlike standard herbal mixtures, high-purity Alpha-Mangostin targets specific cellular receptors, making it an essential raw ingredient for advanced dermatology products, preventive metabolic supplements, and oncology drug discovery pipelines.
At Shaanxi ShineHerb Biotech, our extraction protocols preserve the biological integrity of the xanthone scaffold. We manufacture customizable concentrations ranging from 10% to 98% HPLC purity to accommodate cosmetic, dietary, and pharmaceutical formulations. The substance exhibits strong hydrophobic properties, calling for specialized formulation approaches when integrated into aqueous solutions.

ShineHerb Biotech utilizes a standardized green chemistry refining process to guarantee that our Alpha-Mangostin is free from industrial chemical contaminants:
Alpha-Mangostin's diverse biological profile makes it suitable for many specific target markets:
ShineHerb Biotech maintains a stable and secure supply chain despite global volatility. We import selected raw mangosteen pericarp directly from verified agricultural cooperatives in Southeast Asia, ensuring reliable supply. Our refinery in Shaanxi runs high-throughput automation lines, which reduces energy usage and maintains consistent batch yields.
Our centralized storage, along with DDP/DDU logistics options, allows us to dispatch cargo directly from Chinese ports (Qingdao, Shanghai, Shenzhen) to your facility with minimal delay. This setup insulates partners from supply issues and pricing spikes.
To overcome Alpha-Mangostin’s naturally low solubility in water, ShineHerb Biotech's R&D division is focused on these key projects:

Get answers to common technical, quality, and shipping questions about Alpha-Mangostin.
We offer standardized extracts starting from 10% up to 98% HPLC purity. For cosmetic applications targeting inflammation or acne, the 98% crystalline format is widely utilized due to its low color impact and high concentration.
Alpha-Mangostin is naturally lipid-soluble and has low solubility in pure water. For water-soluble formulations, we can supply it complexed with Hydroxypropyl Beta-Cyclodextrin or as a custom spray-dried powder to improve dispersibility.
For standard bulk trials, our MOQ starts at 1 kg. For customized packaging or proprietary specifications (like specific grain sizing or custom assay profiles), the MOQ can be discussed with our technical sales team.
Yes, we use food-grade ethanol and water for our extraction. The ethanol is completely recovered during vacuum concentration, keeping residual solvent levels well within USP limit guidelines.
When stored in its original, sealed fiber drums in a cool, dark, and dry warehouse, our Alpha-Mangostin remains stable for 24 months. We recommend avoiding exposure to direct heat or moisture.
Yes, we provide standard Certificates of Analysis (COA) for every batch, along with MSDS, heavy metal tests (ICP-MS), pesticide residue screens, and microbial reports.
