That depends. You should give more information on what you are making or intend to make.

Xanthan (note spelling) is not a particularly good thickener. Its attributes lie mainly elsewhere as a stabiliser/suspending agent.

Please explain to us why it is that you cannot do this basic research yourself?

There are a myriad of natural viscosity builders out there and you have to do research which will provide choices based on the system you are using.In many cases you have to use two for thickening, rheology and stability particularly with emulsions.
