Pharmanex, Provo, UT, has introduced g3, a nutrient-dense fruit juice that contains high levels of antioxidants. g3 includes gac, which is known as the “fruit from heaven” by the indigenous people of southern Asia and has long been prized in the region for its ability to promote longevity and vitality. According to the company, gac provides 70 times more lycopene than a tomato and 10 times more beta-carotene than a carrot. Among gac’s potent phytonutrients is a highly bioavailable form of carotenoids called lipocarotenes. In addition, gac contains high levels of long-chain fatty acids, which attract and dissolve antioxidants, making them more easily absorbed by the body. Along with the nutrients from gac, the g3 formula contains three additional fruits—Chinese lycium fruit, cili fruit and Siberian pineapple.
