Malabar Tamarind
Garcinia gummi-gutta
Garcinia gummi-gutta, commonly known as mangosteen, is a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia. Traditionally, its use has not been extensively documented in any specific medical or healing practices. Scientific evidence suggests that extracts from the fruit can synthesize silver nanoparticles with significant antifungal activity against certain fungi, indicating potential applications in nanotherapeutics. However, studies on human health are limited, and more research is needed to confirm these findings. Notably, over 200 cases of liver injury have been linked to supplements containing Garcinia gummi-gutta, though the causality has not been definitively established for all instances. Additionally, while no major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded, users should be cautious and consult healthcare providers before using such supplements due to potential risks.
