Annies XanGo Updates

Earlier this month, XanGo threw its first annual leadership summit in beautiful Melbourne Australia. It was Friday the 5th of February, to be exact, when this inaugural event roared to life in the form of a leadership focus group. And as proof that there’s nothing like a spontaneous sharing session between local leaders to produce a brilliant arsenal of recruiting and retention programs, that’s exactly what this gathering delivered. These leaders have their sights set on a brightly polished 2010.

As a quick follow-up to the first revelation, we gathered for a Distributor-organized “meeting before the meeting,” which was open to every Distributor and guest—130 people in total. The harmony here was its success as every leader in the market, regardless of upline, participated. Not only was it very well received—we even topped it off with a few new signups!

So, after a powerful pair of pre-meetings, eventide held the official recognition kickoff dinner for our leaders, where great food and friendly company marked one doozy of a birthday celebration for two of the attending leaders.

On Saturday we started early with the introduction of Mangosteen Pericarp Oil, complete with touchably soft demonstrations. General Manager Ryan Anderson next introduced the 2010 initiatives for Australia & New Zealand, rolling out a look at the active 2010 calendar.

The afternoon meetings were instant highlights thanks to our beloved 200K Select Annie Jesaulenko. She talked about the beginning and how companies often come and go… but XanGo, XanGo was her company, and if people had just stuck with it from the beginning, working every day, they would have been qualified for higher ranks than even she is by now. She challenged the group to go back to work, and then she committed herself to hitting the business-building trail again.

The summit ended on the high note of a meeting with XanGo Senior VP of International Brian Carmack. He shared his calculated reasoning for joining XanGo Nation and impressed on the leaders that they hold the answer to all their goals and dreams right in their own hands. As long as they step up and do their part, the company will always be here to stand behind them.

Dr. Mehmet Oz, award-winning author and host of his own syndicated daily talk show called The Dr. Oz Show, recently posed this question to his viewers:

“Why do some cultures live longer and healthier with lower rates of diseases like diabetes, cancer, and Alzheimer’s? The answer may simply be the foods they eat every day, so why not give them a try?”

Can you guess which of your favorite foods made the Top 5?

I’ve studied the mangosteen fruit for close to a decade now and I am continually intrigued by what this wonderful, little fruit can do. I think I may have read just about everything ever written about the mangosteen and collaborated with experts the world over. I have met individuals whose health and lives have changed because of mangosteen—I’ve even experienced improved health myself.

In my experience, the best source of the whole mangosteen fruit is XanGo. Researchers use either the whole fruit, the pericarp or extracted components such as xanthones in their studies. However, a recently concluded clinical study by Medicus Research used XanGo in its study.

The study included 40 obese participants that were randomly assigned into 4 groups:

* Control or placebo group
* 3 oz. of XanGo twice a day
* 6 oz. of XanGo twice a day
* 9 oz. of XanGo twice a day

Blood levels were checked at the beginning, at four weeks and eight weeks during the study.

This was a double blind, placebo controlled clinical trial. In other words, both the researchers conducting and those participating in the study are “blinded” to the intervention they are given (placebo or varying amounts of XanGo Juice). This prevents the outcomes to be influenced by placebo or participant bias.

The XanGo Juice clinical trial studied an inflammatory marker, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (HS-CRP), in the blood of obese participants. HS-CRP is an indicator of inflammation (a process that results in tissue damage) and risk of poor cardiovascular health. Therefore, HS-CRP blood levels are closely tied to cardiovascular health.

In the study, the subjects who consumed XanGo Juice had a reduction in HS-CRP levels. In addition to a reduction in HS-CRP there was also a decrease in body mass index (BMI) in the subjects who consumed XanGo Juice as compared to placebo. These results are very encouraging.

The results of this study launched further research at a public institution. The new study is being conducted on a larger scale with over a hundred subjects, and each subject participates for one year. The study is being conducted and funded by the institution, and we anticipate results in a few of years. We look forward to continued scientific discovery of our amazing superfruit mangosteen.
