Beta carotene is a plant pigment that has proven antioxidant effects. It is converted into vitamin A in the intestine and is mainly found in plants such as:

• carrots
• sweet potatoes
• winter squash
• spinach
• kale

and fruits such as:

• melons
• apricots

Beta carotene differs from the animal form of vitamin A found in foods like eggs, liver, cheese, and whole milk. Beta carotene intake is associated with achieving optimal levels of vitamin A in the blood that:

• Is key to good vision and eye health.
• Supports the strength and maintenance of the immune system.
• Enhances growth and development (especially for young individuals) and skin health.
• Helps reduce levels of skin aging and the risk of night blindness and dry eyes.

The strong antioxidant action of beta carotene can protect cells (especially retinal and skin cells) from damage and is very effective in correcting vitamin A deficiency. It is also used to treat the genetic disease Protoporphyria, characterized by skin hypersensitivity to sunlight and fluorescent lights, leading to itching and skin redness.

Dosage: Take one softgel daily with water.
