Science of Lipocarotenes™
• Modern research shows gấc naturally encases unusually concentrated amounts of a unique, highly bioavailable form of carotenoids - lipocarotenes™.
• The long-chain fatty acids in lipocarotenes™ attract and bind important antioxidants and nutrients to facilitate their absorption.
Exponential Benefits of g3
• The g3 formula was developed with 3 additional superfruits - Chinese lycium, Siberian pineapple, and Cili fruit.
• With this combination, the benefits grow exponentially.
g3 = gấc + 3 superfruits
Chinese Lycium• 2000 years of traditional use by
Chinese/ Tibetan people for growth and maintenance of– healthy vision– kidney function– liver function
• High amounts of polysaccharides, vitamin C & A, including carotenoids.
