Some individuals may be allergic to mangosteen, leading to symptoms such as itching, hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing.
Allergic Reactions
Overconsumption of mangosteen may cause stomach upset, diarrhea, or other gastrointestinal issues due to its high fiber content.
Gastrointestinal Distress
In rare cases, consuming large quantities of mangosteen may trigger headaches or migraines in sensitive individuals.
Headache
Mangosteen may lower blood pressure, so people with hypotension should consume it with caution.
Low Blood Pressure
Mangosteen may interact with certain medications, especially blood-thinning drugs like warfarin, leading to potential adverse effects.
Interactions with Medications
While mangosteen is a healthy fruit, excessive consumption could lead to weight gain due to its natural sugars.
Weight Gain
Mangosteen contains oxalates, which, in excess, may contribute to the formation of kidney stones in susceptible individuals.
Oxalate Content
There have been rare cases of liver toxicity reported in association with excessive consumption of mangosteen-based products, but this is not well-established.
