Pros and cons
✓ Pros
- One of the cheapest 60-capsule single-herb bottles in this list
- Mangosteen is familiar locally, so it's an easy first herbal supplement
- Stated 500 mg strength rather than an undisclosed blend
✗ Cons
- The FDA flagged this brand's Sambong variant as unregistered, so check this one's registration
- A food supplement, so it carries no approved therapeutic claim
- Whole-fruit or rind extract isn't specified, and those differ in composition
Simplee Mangosteen offers 60 capsules at a stated 500 mg for the lowest per-capsule price in this list, built on a fruit almost every Filipino household already knows.
A fruit Filipinos eat, at 500mg with no other herb
Familiarity, mostly. Mangosteen is a local fruit people eat, which makes it a comfortable first step into herbal capsules in a way that an imported fern or an unfamiliar extract isn’t. That accounts for a lot of the four thousand-plus sales and the strong rating count.
The formula is single-herb at a stated strength, which we consistently prefer to the blends elsewhere here. You know what’s in it and how much.
Rind and flesh differ, and the listing doesn’t say which
Whether it’s the fruit or the rind. This matters more than it sounds: mangosteen pericarp (the rind) and the fruit flesh have quite different compositions, and supplement preparations typically use the rind. The listing doesn’t specify, and we won’t guess.
It’s a food supplement, so it carries no approved therapeutic claim and is not a treatment for anything. We haven’t tested it and nobody selling it is permitted to claim otherwise.
FDA Advisory 2024-1767 flagged the brand’s Sambong, so check this one
The FDA’s 2024 public health warning (Advisory 2024-1767) named Simplee Supplements Sambong 500 mg as unregistered. It doesn’t name Mangosteen, and we dropped the Sambong product from our catalog rather than link to it. But a flagged sibling means you should verify this variant at the FDA portal before buying.
Local fruit extract keeps the per-capsule cost low
Around ₱208 as of August 5, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. That’s roughly ₱3.50 a capsule, the cheapest per-capsule cost in this list alongside the brand’s serpentina. Part of that is simply that local fruit extract costs less than imported botanicals.
A low-cost trial of a herb you know, after a registration check
Buy this if you want an inexpensive, familiar single-herb capsule and you’ll check the registration first. It’s the right choice for a low-cost trial of a herb you already recognize. If you want the preparation specified, or regulatory certainty, spend more elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the fruit or the rind?
The listing doesn't say, and it matters. Mangosteen rind (pericarp) and the fruit flesh have different compositions, and most supplement preparations use the rind. If that distinction matters to you, ask the seller before buying.
Is Simplee Supplements FDA registered?
Check this specific variant. The FDA issued a public health warning (Advisory 2024-1767) against the brand's Sambong 500 mg as unregistered. The advisory doesn't name Mangosteen, but a flagged sibling is a reason to verify.
Why is mangosteen so popular in the Philippines?
It's a familiar local fruit, so it feels like a natural first step into herbal supplements in a way that an imported botanical doesn't. Familiarity is a big part of why these sell in the volumes they do.
Does a low price mean lower quality?
Not necessarily. Locally sourced fruit extract is cheaper than imported botanicals, so a low price partly reflects the raw material. What it doesn't tell you is anything about processing or standardization, which this listing leaves unstated.
