What is 3 G G 3 is a

What is 3 G ? G 3 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.

Selection Process of G 3 Superfruits 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

Only Four Fruits Met Criteria 1. Gâc fruit 2. Chinese Lycium 3. Cili fruit 4. Siberian Pineapple

What’s in a Name? = Gâc fruit + 3 superfruits = 3 years of Pharmanex research = 3 Pharmanex research labs

Gâc—Fruit from Heaven Momordica cochinensis

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.

Antioxidants in Gâc Pulp • Extraordinarily rich in antioxidants, esp. lycopene, beta-carotene, vitamin E • Unique fatty acid delivery → Lipocarotenes™

Lipocarotenes™: Unique Delivery System • 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

μmol/L Lipocarotenes™ in Gac Fruit are More Bioavailable Vuong et al. Am J Clin Nutr. 2002 May; 75(5): 872 -9. 40% Greater Absorption

Raman Intensity Counts (RICs) Lipocarotenes™ in G 3 are More Bioavailable 55% Greater Scanner increase
