2. g3 is a nutrient-rich juice from the prized gâc superfruit of southern Asia, whose nutritional benefits have been scientifically demonstrated to protect cells. Among gâc’s potent phytonutrients are a unique and highly-bioavailable form of carotenoids called lipocarotenes that provide powerful antioxidant protection while supporting healthy immune function.
