The first thing you need to know about Gac is its astonishing nutritional content. That's why it's a "superfruit". It contains incredibly high concentrations of beta-carotene and lycopene - much higher than in conventional fruits and vegetables. Gac fruit also has high levels of fatty acid-bound carotenoids called lipocarotenes that facilitate the delivery of carotenoids to the cell. Compared to beta-carotene found in dark green vegetables, beta-carotene from Gac fruit appears to be more easily absorbed. It's more easily absorbed in fact than even synthetic beta-carotene whose bioavailability is greater than most natural sources.

The third thing one should know about Gac is that it's the corner stone constituent in g3, a nutrient rich juice that has been demonstrated to help protect and rejuvenate cells. g3 is the latest brain child from the folks at Pharmanex, the world leader in health and wellness.

G3 is one of the fastest growing health and wellness products around Discover the Difference

• Juice absorbs more quickly into the bloodstream.

• Because g3™ contains important oils (which facilitate the absorption of carotenoids), g3™ is a perfect antioxidant delivery medium for the body.

• Drinking a juice is easier than taking a pill.

• Many people are tired of taking numerous pills day after day, and children and older people, in particular, may have difficulty swallowing large pills.

• Drinking a refreshing glass of juice twice a day is easy, and it definitely beats fighting with a child to swallow a pill!

• g3™ stores in the refrigerator, which makes it easy to remember to drink it.

• Simply enjoy up to 3 ounces with breakfast and another 1 to 3 ounces in the evening.

• Most important, Gac juice is delicious and full of flavour!

• Even children will enjoy its sweet, slightly tart taste and appealing colour.

• g3™ provides a tasty and nutritious little treat every time you drink it.

G3™ Scores Higher than Xango™ or Tahitian Noni®

This study assessed antioxidant benefits and bioavailability of carotenoids as a biomarker of overall antioxidant protection from three different branded fruit juice products. The study concluded that consumption of G3™ led to higher Pharmanex® BioPhotonic Scanner scores than either Xango™ (mangosteen) or Tahitian Noni® at weeks four, six, and eight.

Interestingly, no changes in the Noni® group were observed other than a moderate 2,400 ± 1,060 count increase at week 8 and consumption of Xango™ (mangosteen) had no effect on Scanner score at any time.

G3™ increased Scanner scores 375% more than either Xango™ (mangosteen) or Noni® Juice.

Pharmanex G3™
G3™ is an antioxidant-rich blend featuring Gac and three other “super fruits”. G3™ rejuvenates your body on a cellular level, protects your DNA against free radical damage, and supports your immune system.

G3™  nutritional benefits have been scientifically demonstrated to protect cells. Among gac's potent phytonutrients are a unique and highly-bioavailable form of carotenoids called lipocarotenes™ that provide powerful antioxidant protection while supporting healthy immune function. The g3™ formula was developed with 3 additional superfruits—Chinese lycium, Siberian pineapple, and cili fruit—that synergistically provide exponential benefits. g3™ has a refreshing flavor that is deliciously sweet, slightly tart and can be enjoyed daily by everyone in the family.

Many fruits offer specific and targeted health benefits and can be used as important components of integrated health maintenance programs. Unfortunately, many of the current fruit juice products on the market today are not founded in science. Instead they rely heavily on anecdotal "cure-all" claims that mislead and build false hopes in consumers. Fortunately, new scientific research focused on the traditional use of specific fruits and juices for wellness benefits is beginning to separate the anecdotal and exotic from the verifiable.

Pharmanex has leveraged research and data from the Pharmanex® BioPhotonic Scanner technology to design and develop g3.™ Consistent with the Pharmanex® 6S Quality Process of quality and efficacy, Pharmanex is pleased to offer a unique fruit-juice blend provided by nature, time-tested through traditional use, and proven efficacious by modern science. g3™ is a blend of all-natural superfruit juices that provide cellular rejuvenation and protection, while supporting healthy immune function, all in a highly-bioavailable form. g3™ is certified to increase your Skin Carotenoid Score (SCS) with the BioPhotonic Scanner. The unique combination of phytonutrients in g3™ is derived from carefully selected "superfruits" traditionally used throughout the world for their restorative properties and whose nutritional benefits have been validated through scientific study.
