G3 is a nutrient-rich juice from the prized gâc superfruit of southern Asia, whose nutritional benefits have been scientifically demonstrated to protect cells.
Among gâc’s potent phytonutrients are a unique and highly-bioavailable form of carotenoids called lipocarotenes that provide powerful antioxidant protection while supporting healthy immune function.
What is G3 ?
Pharmanex® Scientists searched the world– Evaluated hundreds of superfruits for:• Extraordinary antioxidant efficacy (Scanner)• Extraordinary nutritional contents• Quality of scientific efficacy data• Impeccable safety data• History of traditional folklore usage• Unique fruits to allow unique business
opportunity
Selection Process of G3 Superfruits
1. Gâc fruit
2. Chinese Lycium
3. Cili fruit
4. Siberian Pineapple
Only Four Fruits Met Criteria
= Gâc fruit + 3 superfruits= 3 years of Pharmanex research= 3 Pharmanex research labs
What’s in a Name?
Gâc—Fruit from Heaven Momordica cochinchinensis
In Southern Asia, the gâc vine is often seen growing on lattices at the entrances of rural homes.
Among its many uses, gâc is used to prepare a special rice dish known as Xoi Gâc or “Red Rice”, traditionally served at celebrations.
• Extraordinarily rich in antioxidants, esp. lycopene, beta-carotene, vitamin E
• Unique fatty acid delivery → Lipocarotenes™
Antioxidants in Gâc Pulp
• Gâc fruit & Siberian Pineapple: – contain fatty acids (unique among fruits)– carotenoids & vitamin E pre-dissolved in
fatty acids
• Lipocarotenes: a matrix of fatty acids with carotenoids– 40% greater plasma absorption*– 55 % greater scanner increase*
*compared to ordinary carotenoids
