Product Description

Product Profile
β-carotene is a carotenoid, which is ubiquitous in nature and the most stable natural pigment. It is an orange-yellow fat-soluble compound, shiny rhombohedral or crystalline powder. It mainly comes from natural foods such as green plants and yellow and orange fruits. The dilute solution of β-carotene is orange-yellow to yellow, becomes orange when the concentration increases, and may become slightly red due to different polarity of the solvent.

β-carotene is a provitamin A carotenoid that is readily converted by the body into vitamin A as needed. Beta-carotene is found in a variety of plant foods and provides the red, orange and yellow pigments in many fruits and vegetables. β-carotene was discovered by Wilhelm Wackenroder in 1831, and β-carotene was originally crystallized from carrots.

Since then, this colorful provitamin has provided many health benefits to people. Since too much vitamin A can be toxic, taking beta-carotene may be safer than taking a vitamin A supplement. The body converts beta-carotene to vitamin A as needed, thus avoiding any potential toxicity of vitamin A.

Function
Carotene has numerous health benefits for many systems in the human body. From protecting the lungs to optimizing cognitive function, beta-carotene has many health-optimizing properties.

1. Eye health
The provitamin carotenoid beta-carotene can help prevent eye disease and promote eye health.

Research shows that a diet rich in beta-carotene and other carotenoids can reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) by up to 35%. This is especially true for smokers who are at increased risk for vision loss from age-related macular degeneration.

Beta-carotene also helps keep the cornea (surface of the eye) healthy and moist, optimizing eye health. Vitamin A can help optimize night vision or low-light vision because it helps the eye convert light into signals that are sent to the brain.

As a powerful antioxidant, beta-carotene helps relieve oxidative stress on the eyes caused by blue light and UV radiation from device screens. Vitamin A strengthens the immune system and helps reduce inflammation in the eyes and the risk of developing eye infections.

2. Immune system health
Because beta-carotene is an antioxidant, it can strengthen our immune system health by reducing oxidative stress in the body. Oxidative stress directly contributes to chronic diseases, including heart disease, joint problems, Alzheimer's disease, glycometabolic diseases, stroke, atherosclerosis, and more.

Antioxidants remove and destroy free radicals and strengthen our immune function. Free radicals cause damage to our tissues, leading to chronic inflammation and the development of disease. Researchers have shown that beta-carotene increases the activity and number of immune cells.

Carotenoids like beta-carotene can promote gene regulation and angiogenesis, or the growth and development of new blood vessels, affecting immune function.

3. Skin health
Carotene is an antioxidant that can help optimize skin health and appearance.

Research shows that a diet rich in phytochemicals such as beta-carotene can help improve the skin's defenses against the sun's ultraviolet radiation. This protection will help skin maintain elasticity and reduce sun damage, including fine lines, wrinkles and sun spots.

Beta-carotene can help prevent acne and reduce skin blemishes. It also has natural exfoliating abilities that promote cell turnover, optimizing the health and appearance of your skin.

If your goal is to have a naturally tanned skin, eating foods rich in beta-carotene can increase skin pigmentation. Foods rich in beta-carotene include dark green leafy vegetables like kale and spinach, cantaloupe, butternut squash, carrots, sweet potatoes, red and yellow peppers, and apricots. Herbs like red peppers, parsley, sage, coriander, and cilantro are also good sources of beta-carotene.

Carotenoids are fat-soluble, so eating certain foods, such as oils like olive or grapeseed oil, fatty fish like salmon, or nuts and seeds, can help you better absorb beta-carotene in your diet.

4. Lung health
Research shows that a diet rich in beta-carotene is beneficial to lung health. Beta-carotene is converted into vitamin A in the body and helps maintain normal lung function.

Vitamin A is involved in the repair of epithelial cells, or cells lining the tissue, and is essential for respiratory health. Vitamin A deficiency during pregnancy can have long-term adverse effects on the lung health of the offspring.

Vitamin A deficiency and protein malnutrition are among the most common nutritional disorders in the world. While this mainly affects children in developing countries, more than 20% of the population in developed countries consume less than two-thirds of the recommended intake of vitamin A. Modern society is accustomed to eating foods with low nutritional value, resulting in the vitamin A levels in the liver and plasma of these 20% of the population being lower than the accepted normal range.

Vitamin A deficiency increases the risk of various infections and respiratory illnesses, as well as death. Taking beta-carotene supplements can help safely increase vitamin A levels while avoiding the risk of vitamin A toxicity.

5. Mental health
Beta-carotene may optimize mental health, including cognitive function and memory, due to its antioxidant effects.

A series of studies have found that long-term beta-carotene supplementation can optimize memory and cognitive function. Other research suggests that antioxidant supplementation may also be effective in people with stress-induced psychiatric disorders, including anxiety and depression.

Studies have shown that beta-carotene has antidepressant-like activity in stressed mice. Another study found that long-term beta-carotene supplementation for 15 years or more may help prevent cognitive decline in men.

Beta-Carotene Cautions
People who smoke, have smoked, or have been exposed to asbestos should not take beta-carotene supplements. Studies show that beta-carotene supplementation increases the risk of lung cancer in these groups.

Takeaway food
As a vitamin A carotenoid, beta-carotene has many beneficial health effects on the body. Beta-carotene helps optimize vision, immune health, lung function, mental health, and even skin appearance. As a powerful antioxidant, beta-carotene can help strengthen your immune function and help ward off and prevent chronic disease and infection.

The risk of chronic diseases such as glycometabolism, heart disease, joint problems, and Alzheimer's disease will be reduced by the antioxidant effects provided by beta-carotene and other carotenoids.

Beta-carotene is only converted into vitamin A when needed, so it is a safe way to increase vitamin A levels without the risk of vitamin A toxicity. Eating healthy fats like avocados and nuts can help you better absorb beta-carotene because it is fat-soluble.
