Mangosteen also contains more than 40 different xanthones, each of which has been shown to suppress a specific type of allergic reaction in humans. MSM has been shown to benefit the allergy sufferer, and in one study, MSM was given twice daily to 55 volunteers suffering from seasonal allergies which included nasal congestion and coughing. A significant reduction in both upper and lower respiratory tract symptoms was observed.
