g3 Evolution
•
Pharmanex® has leveraged research
and data from 2 million BioPhotonic
Scans to design and develop g3™.

By using the Pharmanex BioPhotonic
Scanner Technology, we were able to
determine those fruits which are
classified as superfruits.
Gấc: Fruit from Heaven

prized the Gấc fruit for its ability to
promote longevity and vitality.
• Savouring this “fruit from heaven,”
indigenous people have long
believed this ceremonial fruit
provides health and wellness.

Science of Lipocarotenes™
• Modern research shows gấc naturally
encases unusually concentrated
amounts of a unique, highly
bioavailable form of carotenoids lipocarotenes™.
• The long-chain fatty acids in
lipocarotenes™ attract and bind
important antioxidants and nutrients
to facilitate their absorption.
Exponential Benefits of g3
g3 = gấc + 3 superfruits
• The g3 formula was developed with 3
additional superfruits - Chinese
lycium, Siberian pineapple, and
Cili fruit.
• With this combination, the benefits
grow exponentially.
Chinese Lycium
• 2000 years of traditional use by
Chinese/ Tibetan people for growth
and maintenance of
– healthy vision
– kidney function
– liver function
• High amounts of polysaccharides,
vitamin C & A, including carotenoids.
