Beta - Carotene

Beta-carotene belongs to a group of yellow and red plant substances with a coloring effect. Beta-carotene is the substance that gives carrots and other vegetables their orange color. Beta-carotene is also a provitamin that turns into vitamin A in the amounts that our body needs.

Beta-carotene is an excellent plant source of vitamin A. Beta-carotene is fat-soluble, so it is better absorbed by the body when taken together with some type of fat. Converted into vitamin A, beta-carotene participates in processes that help maintain good skin and mucous membranes. It is very important for the normal process of cell division and ensuring immune function. In addition, it helps to maintain normal vision. In addition, there is no reason to fear that you will get too much vitamin A from beta-carotene, because the body stops processing beta-carotene as soon as it replenishes the available stores of the vitamin.
