GAC Fruit Benefits
70X Lycopene
Lycopene is a bright red carotenoid pigment that is found in many fruits and vegetables, particularly in tomatoes. It is a powerful antioxidant that has been linked to a range of health benefits, including a reduced risk of heart disease, certain types of cancer, and age-related eye disorders.
10X Beta Carotene
Beta-carotene is a red-orange pigment that is found in many fruits and vegetables, particularly in carrots. Beta-carotene is a provitamin A carotenoid, which means that it can be converted by the body into vitamin A. Vitamin A is an essential nutrient that plays many important roles in the body, including maintaining healthy vision, supporting the immune system, and promoting cell growth and development.
40X Zeaxanthin
Zeaxanthin is a yellow-orange carotenoid pigment that is found in many fruits and vegetables, particularly in leafy green vegetables. Zeaxanthin is important for maintaining healthy vision, particularly in the central part of the retina, known as the macula. It acts as a natural filter, helping to protect the eyes from the damaging effects of blue light and ultraviolet radiation.
40X Vitamin C
Vitamin C is found in many fruits and vegetables, particularly citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, and grapefruits. Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin that is essential for the growth, development, and repair of body tissues. It is also an important antioxidant that helps to protect cells from damage caused by harmful molecules called free radicals.
GAC Fruit Origins
GAC fruit (Momordica cochinchinensis) is a tropical fruit that is native to Southeast Asia, particularly in countries such as Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. It is a spiny, football-shaped fruit that is approximately the size of a cantaloupe or small watermelon, and is bright red or orange in colour.
In Vietnamese culture, the gac fruit is often used as a symbol of good luck and prosperity, and is traditionally served during special occasions like weddings, Tet (Vietnamese New Year), and other important celebrations. The vibrant orange-red color of the fruit is also associated with good luck and happiness.
GAC Fruit in mandarin is called 木鱉果 (turtle fruit), as the shape of the seed is similar to a turtle.
