What is Gâc?

{Sponsored Post}

I chanced upon Gâc on PPP, and the first thing on my mind was "What is that?". Naturally, I went to the site to read up about this exotic fruit. Excerpt from the site:

"Gâc is a bright-red fruit that grows as large as a cantaloupe and abundantly on vines all over sub-tropical Asia, especially in Vietnam. A fountain of antioxidants, as recent research unveiled, this fruit is grown in home gardens and valued for its medicinal potentials. In Asian households, the red oily pulp is often cooked with rice. The bright red color generates the visual effect that represents good luck and joy."

I am surprised that having lived almost all my life in Asia, I have never heard, let alone seen this fruit. Perhaps, it is not grown in abundance in my country of birth, Malaysia? How about cosmopolitan Singapore? Surely, such an exotic fruit would be available on the supermarket shelves? Okay, the excerpt did indicate "sub-tropical". But having lived in sub-tropical Thailand for one and a half years did not expose me to this particular fruit. Has Vietnam kept this SECRET fruit from the rest of the world? WHY?

Recent scientific research shows that Gâc is rich in beta-carotene, lycopene and other potent antioxidants, essential nutrients for cellular rejuvenation throughout the body. The carotenoids in Gâc is in a highly bio-available form which helps support healthy skin and the body’s own defense mechanisms from free radicals.

Is that why Vietnamese ladies are so much more youthful and better looking that 'ole me??

As I am now well-informed about this fruit, I will seek forth its benefits to obtain that elusive smooth youthful skin. And with all the Gâc nutrients concentrated into the R.G. Skin Revitalizer capsules, I can just pop them into the wrinkled body of mind. Easy, and hassle-free! Besides, I am not really a fruit person. Capsules, please!
