G3 is a nutrient-rich juice from the prized

gâc superfruit of southern Asia, whose

nutritional benefits have been scientifically

demonstrated to protect cells.

What is G3 ?

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.

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™: Unique Delivery System

• Lipocarotenes: a matrix of fatty

acids with carotenoids

– 40% greater plasma absorption*

– 55% greater scanner increase*
