Overview, company details, product information, news, events, rankings and Distributor listings for Xango.
XANGO was a Lehi, Utah-based wellness and nutrition MLM founded in 2002 and built around XANGO Juice, a mangosteen-based dietary supplement drink. The company expanded into related nutrition, energy, personal-care, and skincare products, including later mangosteen-oriented lines such as Glimpse. By 2013, XANGO was described as having more than 2 million distributors worldwide and more than $2 billion in reported revenue.
XANGO operated through a multilevel direct-selling model using independent distributors who sold products and built sales organizations. Its compensation structure and distributor culture were similar enough to Zija International’s model that Zija cited those similarities when it brought XANGO and Qivana under the Zija umbrella in 2017. XANGO’s standalone MLM operation ended when the brand became part of Zija International in May 2017.
The XANGO product line later moved again when Isagenix acquired Zija International in January 2020. Isagenix described Zija as a Lehi-based direct-selling company with plant-based wellness products and said Zija distributors would become part of the Isagenix family. XANGO survives as a product brand under Isagenix, with Xango Juice and Xango Reserve currently sold through Isagenix, but XANGO is no longer an independent MLM company operating through Xango.com.
XANGO’s notable legal and regulatory history included a 2006 FDA warning letter involving disease-treatment claims for XANGO Juice, including claims tied to cancer, depression, infection, Alzheimer’s disease, and other conditions. The company also faced internal founder and shareholder litigation, including a 2013 federal case in which co-founder Bryan Davis sued former business partners alleging corporate mismanagement and fraud; the court record shows the defendants disputed the allegations and sought dismissal of related claims.

XanGo is a privately-held company operating in over 23 countries with over one million distributors. Although the company does not publicly disclose its financial statements, it has issued company press releases claiming sales growth from $40 million in 2003 to $150 million in 2004 and doubling again in 2005.

XanGo Juice is formulated from a proprietary blend of mangosteen aril and pericarp purée and the juice concentrates of eight other fruits including pear, apple, grape, raspberry, cranberry, strawberry, cherry and cranberry. Additional ingredients include citric acid, natural flavor, pectin, xanthan gum, sodium benzoate, and potassium sorbate.
The Linus Pauling Institute was commissioned by the Associated Press to measure the antioxidant strength of XanGo juice against retail fruit juices. The results showed that the antioxidant strength of XanGo measured only slightly higher than cranberry juice but was lower than black cherry and was also less than half that for blueberry juice. It's important to note that the measurements of antioxidant strength apply to the antioxidants in a lab environment, but that when consumed, antioxidants in fruit juices are affected by stomach acids that might neutralize or destroy antioxidant value....
Mangosteen, the primary ingredient in XanGo Mangosteen, is part of the family of tropical trees and shrubs that belong to the group called Guttiferae and which secrete a resinous yellow acrid juice. St. John’s Wort is the best recognized member of this family of plants. Attempts to cultivate the 18 foot high trees in Africa, the Caribbean and Central America met with disappointment as the plant is considered “ultra-tropical” and sensitive to temperature changes; seedlings die if the climate drops below 45 degrees....
Xanthones, biologically active plant phenols, are only found in a handful of specific tropical plants.

There are two sides to the XanGo mangosteen juice debate. On one side, there are those who would say that the mangosteen is just an overpriced fruit drink. On the other side, are those doctors and patients who have actually tried and/or are using the drink with admittedly amazing results....
XanGo is sold through an MLM distribution channel, utilizing distributors who promote, sell and consume the product.
The benefit of the XanGo MLM model is the viral nature of the expanding network via word of mouth and distributor advertising on the Internet. Each distributor is an individual sales force, and through the use of these distributors Xango has a greater opportunity to spread market awareness....
