g3 & ProBio PCC® Kit (Canada)

When the furnace clicks on in October and doesn't stop until April, Canadians from Winnipeg to Halifax are running a six-month indoor heating marathon that quietly depletes skin from the inside out. Forced-air heat reduces ambient humidity, disrupts the gut lining, and accelerates oxidative stress — three conditions that no topical serum can fully address on its own. The g3 & ProBio PCC® Kit pairs g3 Juice — a gac fruit carotenoid concentrate built around naturally lipid-bound lycopene, beta-carotene, and zeaxanthin — with Probiotics PCC®, a shelf-stable, microencapsulated probiotic formula, into a single internal health foundation designed to support skin and gut health simultaneously. At CA$146, the kit saves CA$8.90 compared to purchasing each product individually.

Who This Kit Is For

Best Suited For

• Canadians who already maintain a topical skincare routine and want to add internal antioxidant and microbiome support through the long heating season
• Anyone experiencing dull, dehydrated skin during Prairie dry cold or Toronto wind chill months who suspects diet and gut health may be contributing factors
• Those seeking a shelf-stable probiotic that doesn't require refrigeration — practical for Canadians who travel frequently between cities or spend time at cottage country
• Adults 30+ interested in ageing-related antioxidant support alongside gut microbiome maintenance
• Post-hockey and outdoor sport recovery routines where oxidative stress and sweat-then-freeze cycles put additional demand on the body's internal defences

Less Suited For

• Those seeking a solely topical approach — this kit is an ingestible supplement programme, not a skincare regimen
• Individuals with specific probiotic contraindications or immunocompromised conditions (consult a healthcare practitioner before use)
• Anyone expecting immediate, visible topical results — internal supplement benefits develop over consistent use

Pairs Well With

• A topical antioxidant serum such as Nutricentials® Vitamin C + Collagen Pump to reinforce surface-level oxidative defence
• Beauty Focus™ Collagen+ (Peach) for a broader ingestible beauty stack targeting skin elasticity
• LifePak® Vitamin & Mineral Supplement for a comprehensive multivitamin foundation alongside this antioxidant/probiotic pairing

What's Inside the Kit

g3 Juice — Lipid-Bound Carotenoid Concentrate

g3 Juice is built around gac fruit (Momordica cochinchinensis), a Southeast Asian fruit that delivers lycopene, beta-carotene, and zeaxanthin in their naturally lipid-bound form. This lipid association is the key formulation distinction: carotenoids consumed in their natural lipid matrix are absorbed more efficiently than isolated carotenoids in water-soluble supplements, because carotenoids are fat-soluble nutrients that depend on dietary fat for uptake in the small intestine. The juice format also includes antioxidant support from the broader polyphenol profile of the gac fruit concentrate.

Suggested use: 30–60 ml daily with or near a meal. Refrigerate after opening.

Probiotics PCC® — Microencapsulated Shelf-Stable Probiotics

Probiotics PCC® (PCC = Probiotic Cell Culture) delivers Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains in a microencapsulated delivery system — a technology that encases live probiotic cells in a protective matrix, shielding them from heat, moisture, and stomach acid during transit to the gut. The practical result for Canadians: no refrigeration required, making the capsules stable during shipping across remote or Northern regions, and easy to store during cottage season or winter travel. The strains are selected to support gut microbiome balance and immune function.

Suggested use: 1 capsule daily, any time of day. No refrigeration needed.

Why This Combination Makes Formulation Sense

A healthy gut microbiome improves the absorption and bioavailability of fat-soluble nutrients — including carotenoids from g3. Simultaneously, the antioxidants in g3 support the gut lining's defence against oxidative stress. Rather than two unrelated products bundled for convenience, these two formulations address complementary pathways: antioxidant carotenoid delivery (g3) and the microbiome environment that enhances nutrient uptake (Probiotics PCC®). The synergy is nutritional, not merely commercial.

How It Compares

Comparison based on publicly available formulation information. Probiotic and antioxidant quality depends on strain selection, CFU count, and delivery technology — not solely ingredient category.

How to Use

g3 Juice: Take 30–60 ml daily with or near a meal. Refrigerate after opening.

Probiotics PCC®: Take 1 capsule daily, any time. No refrigeration needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does shipping work for the g3 & ProBio PCC® Kit in Canada?

The kit ships from the official Nu Skin Canada warehouse. Standard delivery is typically 3–7 business days across most of Canada — including Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Montreal, Halifax, and Ottawa. Remote and Northern areas may take longer. Standard shipping is CA$2.99, with free shipping on orders over CA$79.

How much do I save by purchasing the kit versus buying g3 and Probiotics PCC® separately?

Purchasing the kit at CA$146 saves CA$8.90 compared to buying g3 Juice (CA$109) and Probiotics PCC® (CA$45.90) individually — a combined individual total of CA$154.90.

Can I take g3 Juice and Probiotics PCC® at the same time?

Yes — both products can be taken together or at different times of day. There are no interaction concerns. Some people prefer to take g3 with a meal and Probiotics PCC® separately, but the timing is flexible based on your daily routine.

Do these supplements require Health Canada approval to be sold in Canada?

Ingestible supplements sold in Canada are regulated by Health Canada as Natural Health Products and require a Natural Product Number (NPN) before they can be legally sold. Consumers can verify a product's NPN status through Health Canada's Licensed Natural Health Products Database (LNHPD).

Is Probiotics PCC® shelf-stable enough for Canadian shipping in summer or winter?

Yes. The microencapsulation technology in Probiotics PCC® is designed to protect live probiotic cells from temperature fluctuations, moisture, and stomach acid — making it stable without refrigeration. This is particularly relevant for shipments to remote or Northern Canadian communities, or for cottage country and travel use during summer.

Who should consult a healthcare practitioner before using this kit?

Individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, immunocompromised, or managing a diagnosed digestive condition should speak with a healthcare practitioner before adding any probiotic or antioxidant supplement. This applies to both g3 Juice and Probiotics PCC® as ingestible natural health products regulated by Health Canada.

Can I use this kit alongside a topical Nu Skin skincare routine?

Yes — this kit is an ingestible supplement programme and does not interfere with topical skincare products. Many people use g3 and Probiotics PCC® as an internal complement to a topical routine. Products like the Nutricentials® Hyaluronic Acid Pump or ageLOC® Tru Face® Future Serum address surface-level skin concerns, while this kit supports the internal environment that influences skin health.

How long before I notice results from g3 and Probiotics PCC®?

Internal supplement benefits — including antioxidant carotenoid status and gut microbiome shifts — typically develop over weeks of consistent use rather than immediately. Most clinical research on probiotics assesses outcomes at 4–12 weeks of daily use. Carotenoid accumulation in tissue is similarly gradual. Consistent daily use is the key variable.
