Natural Beta Carotene
Natural Beta Carotene is distinct from synthetic beta carotene in that it is derived
from a food source such as D. salina sea algae. Natural Beta-Carotene is a fat soluble
carotenoid which the body converts into Vitamin A,
whenever it is needed. Carotenoids are the colourful pigments found in fruits and vegetables.
Natural beta carotene acts as an antioxidant and an immune system booster.
Eye Health: May help prevent night blindness,
sensitivity to sunlight & erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP), UV light damage to the eye, including macular degneration*
especially in conjunction with Lutein
Skin Health: The antioxidant action of beta carotene
operates inside the body tissues as well as on the skin's surface as shown by studies of UV exposure
Studies suggest that low dietary intakes
of beta-carotene are associated with greater incidences of lung cancer*, as well as other epithelial tissue cancers including the mouth, throat, oesophagus, gastrointestinal tract, stomach and cervix.
Note: Taking a nutritional supplement containing carotenoids is not the same as taking vitamin A. High amounts of vitamin A can lead to toxicity, whereas carotenoids are nontoxic, even when taken in large quantities.
