More Information on Beta Carotene Supplement

Beta Carotene is the molecule that gives carrots their orange color. It is part of a family of chemicals called carotenoids, which are found in many fruit and vegetables, as well as some animal products such as egg yolks. Carotenoids were first isolated in the early 19th century, and have been synthesized for use as food colorings since the 1950s. Biologically, beta-carotene is most important as the precursor of vitamin A. It also has anti-oxidant properties and may help in preventing cancer and other diseases. Beta Carotene acts as a precursor of vitamin A, and is therefore called a pro-vitamin A compound. Foods or supplements containing beta-carotene are converted to vitamin A for the maintenance of healthy skin, good vision, and a robust immune system. Research shows that Beta Carotene aids in cancer prevention. It is also important in the formation of bones and teeth. Beta Carotene also helps with free-radical damage, and helps ease the pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis. Beta-carotene also contains flavonoids, which are antioxidant substances that give color and flavor to many orange- and red-colored fruits and vegetables. Foods such as carrots, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, cantaloupe, watermelon, apricots, and mangoes are good sources of beta-carotene; romaine lettuce, spinach, kale, and broccoli are also rich in carotenoids (the yellow color is covered up by chlorophyll in green leafy plants).
