2. What is g3 ? g3 delivers the benefits of the prized gâc superfruit of southern Asia, blended with three additional superfruits. Among gâc’s potent phytonutrients are a unique delivery form of carotenoids called lipocarotenes, that allow for enhanced absorption. g3 has a refreshing flavour that is deliciously sweet, slightly tart and can be enjoyed daily by the whole family.

3. Pharmanex ® scientists searched the world and evaluated hundreds of superfruits for: Extraordinary antioxidant efficacy (Pharmanex ® BioPhotonic Scanner) Extraordinary nutritional contents Quality of scientific efficacy data Impeccable safety data History of traditional folklore usage Unique fruits to allow unique business opportunity Selection Process of g3 Superfruits

4. Only Four Fruits Met Criteria Gâc fruit Chinese lycium Cili fruit Siberian pineapple

5. = Gâc fruit + 3 superfruits = 3 years of Pharmanex ® research = 3 Pharmanex ® research labs What is in a Name?

6. Gâc - “Fruit from Heaven” Momordica cochinchinensis

7. 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.

8. Gâc contains lycopene, beta-carotene and vitamin E which are recognised as beneficial antioxidants. Lipocarotenes: A unique delivery of fatty acids with antioxidant-carotenoids for enhanced absorption. Antioxidants in Gâc Pulp

9. 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% Skin Carotenoid Score increase* *Compared to ordinary carotenoids

Above chart shows comparison of quantity of beta-carotene absorbed into the blood stream after taking equal amounts of beta-carotene in synthetic versus lipocarotene form. Lipocarotenes in Gâc Fruit are more Bioavailable for the Body μmol/L 40% Greater Absorption Synthetic β-caroteneβ-carotene from gâc lipcarotenes

11. Lipocarotenes in g3 are more Bioavailable Raman Intensity Counts (RICs) 55% Greater Scanner increase Carotenoids in non-lipocarotene form G3 lipocarotenes

12. Gâc - “Fruit From Heaven” Indigenous to Southern Asia Bangladesh, Burma, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam Traditionally used internally and externally Topical: wound healing Internally: eye health and promoting growth in children
