Beautynomics – The Economics of Vanity » Blog Archive » G3, the Fruit from Heaven, and My Thirst for Beauty

I just made a huge purchase today, and I’m hoping that it’d be worth it. My friend Lorraine was raving about how G3, this new drink offered by Pharmanex, is creating waves, positive feedbacks from consumers, and most important of all, how it improved her overall health. Her eyes don’t hurt anymore ( given her delicate eyes ), and she is not as stressed as she is.

Well, of course, being the salesperson she is, she knew my weak and soft spot- she told me that it would really make skin soft and smooth. (Oh no! Salespeople know my soft spot already!!! ) So, all I could say was, “oh wow, get me some.” Because I am always ready to try products that can make my skin definitely look better – absolutely glowing of health.

Well, enough of my chicas and on with the product! G3 is a fruit drink with three very unique and hard-to-find fruits, with their respective descriptions :

1. Main ingredient GAC – is known as the “fruit from heaven” by the indigenous people of southern Asia. The fruit has long been prized in the region for its ability to promote longevity and vitality. Gram for gram, gac provides 70 times more lycopene than a tomato and 10 times more beta-carotene than a carrot.

2. Chinese lycium – has been shown to promote cellular rejuvenation by protecting DNA and by acting as an antioxidant. This fruit contains 40 times more of the eye-healthy carotenoid zeaxanthin than yellow corn, which previously had been thought to be the highest source of this important nutrient.

3. The cili fruit, known as the “King of Vitamin C,” – contains 60 times the vitamin C found in oranges and has been shown to improve antioxidant function throughout the body. Scientific studies suggest it may have cardiovascular and immune function benefits as well2.

3. Siberian pineapple – rich in vitamin C, carotenoids and flavonoids and has been shown to benefit cardiovascular health, healthy liver function and the immune system while protecting the integrity of the mitochondriaâ€”the cell’s power generatorsâ€”from oxidative stress

Woah, they sure sound like super fruits that give out really super effects to the body. Everyone knows how antioxidants help combat aging and keep the body healthy! It’s a 100 percent juice without any artificial coloring, sugars, and all those phoney stuff. Just a funny thought : these fruits sound so exotic that I think Angelina Jolie might like to try these for her love for variety of cultures! Haha!

Who should drink G3? Well, according to Pharmanex,

G3â„¢is the perfect complement to a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, exercising, and taking LifePakÂ®. G3â„¢is recommended for adults and children who need to increase their servings of fruits and vegetables, are frequently exposed to free radical damage, and are interested in boosting their antioxidant network defense

When Lorraine told me about all of these and made me read more material ( I love materials ), I was determined to give it a shot – for a span of one month to see the effects on me. Will it make me sleep better? Will it make my skin less dull and tired? Stress is too much to bear that I’m willing to try anything to make myself feel better. For a whopping $ 100+ ($120-150) for 2 750 ml bottles, this better work! Or else I’d be heartbroken and eat more Chocnut! Haha! I believe that not all expensive products are worthless and non-effective – there are actually some that are pretty much worth the price , and with Nu Skin’s skin care, I am convinced that this might actually be worth it too. If it works, this shall be in my wineglass for the Holidays! Whoopee!

Update, in a few weeks ! I’m getting these two babies tomorrow =)
