5. Gac Origin
Latin name :
Momordica Cochinchinensis
Region: Southeast Asian
Found mostly in Vietnam.
Now grown in Thailand at the
first professional commercial
plantation
7. Why do we use the words “super fruit”
Gac contains in average:
30 times more Lycopene than Tomatoes
6 times more β Carotene then Carrots
3 times more vitamine C then Oranges
More Lutein and Zeaxanthine then Spinach
and 8 x more then Broccoli etc etc.
8. Why is Lycopene so important
Wikipedia says:
1.Lycopene may be the most powerful carotenoid quencher of
singlet oxygen. Singlet oxygen produced during exposure to
ultraviolet light is a primary cause of skin aging
2.There have been several studies that analyzed the anti-
cancer properties of lycopene.
Evidence for lycopene’s benefit was strongest for
cancers of the lung, stomach and the prostate gland.
3.High levels of lycopene in the blood and fatty tissues,
correlate with reduced risk of cancer, heart disease
and macular (eye) degeneration.
The human body cannot produce lycopene so it
must be obtained from food sources.
9. What makes Gac even more unique
Most fruits are “fat free”, which limits the
absorption of the nutrients in the body.
Gac however is a rich source of mono- and
polyunsaturated fatty acids ensuring high
bioavailability and maximum absorption of its
nutrients

Lycopene 7530 mg / 100 gr Copper 3 ppm
