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?

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
