POSITIONING STATEMENT
G3 is a nutrient-rich juice from the prized g´âc “superfruit” of southern Asia, whose nutritional benefits have been scientifically demonstrated to protect cells. Among g´âc’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 three additional superfruits—Chinese lycium, Siberian pineapple, and cili fruit—that together provide a variety of benefits.* G3 has a refreshing flavor that is deliciously sweet, yet slightly tart and can be enjoyed daily by everyone in the family.
CONCEPT
The earth’s fruits are a demonstration of nature’s beauty and creativity. Their varied shapes, colors, perfumes, and flavors attract and inspire. More importantly, they function as natural reservoirs of life-sustaining nutrients for insects, animals, and humans. They are particularly rich in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and other potent and beneficial phytonutrients.
Many fruits offer specific and targeted health benefits and can be used as important components of integrated health maintenance programs. Unfortunately, many fruit juice products on the market today are not substantiated by 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.

Consistent with the Pharmanex® 6S Quality Process of quality and efficacy, G3 is a unique fruit juice blend provided by nature, time-tested through traditional use, and proven efficacious by modern science. The nutrients found in this blend of all-natural superfruit juices provide cellular rejuvenation and protection,* while supporting healthy immune function,* all in a highly bioavailable form. G3 is also guaranteed to increase your Skin Carotenoid Score (SCS) measured by 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.
Natives of southern Asia have long prized the g´âc fruit for its ability to promote eye health, immunity, and growth in children. Savoring this “fruit from heaven,” indigenous people have long believed this ceremonial fruit promotes health and wellness. Modern research shows it contains unusually concentrated amounts of a unique and highly bioavailable form of carotenoids called lipocarotenes. G3 was developed with three additional superfruits—Chinese lycium fruit from southern China, Siberian pineapple fruit from Asia, and cili fruit from the mountains of China. The combination of these three superfruits along with g´âc lipocarotenes provides a variety of health benefits.*

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why are lipocarotenes important?
A lipocarotene is a matrix of carotenoids and fatty acids that enables efficient absorption and transport of these important nutrients. For a fruit, g´âc contains relatively high levels of fatty acids, which create a lipocarotene matrix to deliver highly bioavailable carotenoids. Compared to beta-carotene found in dark green vegetables, beta-carotene from the g´âc fruit has been scientifically proven to be better absorbed.
What types of carotenoids are found in gac fruit?
G´âc fruit contains a variety of carotenoids, but lycopene and beta carotene are the predominant carotenoids present. Not only is g´âc fruit richer in carotenoids than common fruits and vegetables, but because it delivers these important antioxidants in lipocarotene form, g´âc carotenoid antioxidants are better absorbed than carotenoids from common fruits and vegetables. In a clinical study, subjects given g´âc fruit (3.5 mg/day) showed a greater plasma level of beta carotene than that of another group given pure beta-carotene powder (5.0 mg/day). (Vuong, L.T.)
