Mangosteen is definitely touted as a superfood, although it has its critics (to whom I pay no attention). It has nothing to do with mangos and tastes kind of like a citrusy peach. It's not as powerful as other superfruits like goji and acai, though. It's on the lowest scale. It's best when it's combined with other superfruit juices. Mangosteen's main appeal comes from xanthones, which may have anti-cancer benefits.
So, your Mom might want to do a little more research and try mangosteen blends (in my local supermarket, there's a juice called Purely Juice, which offers Goji or Acai blends that contain mangosteen). Mangosteen is wonderful, but it's not as wonderful as most other superfoods.
