What is beta-carotene?
Beta-carotene is a carotenoid. It belongs to a group of yellow-red vegetable dyes and is what gives carrots their orange color. Beta-carotene is a fat-soluble substance and needs the presence of fats to be absorbed into the body. Absorption occurs in the small intestine.
Beta-carotene is also a pro-vitamin and can be converted to vitamin A when the body needs it. Beta-carotene produced by chemical synthesis is used as a food coloring.

Beta-carotene and vitamin A
Beta-carotene is a plant source of vitamin A and, in some parts of the world, is practically the only source of vitamin A for the population. When beta-carotene is converted to vitamin A, it helps maintain healthy skin and mucous membranes. It is also involved in maintaining normal vision. Moreover, vitamin A contributes to the process of cell differentiation in the body and to the normal functioning of the immune system.
Ingestion of foods and dietary supplements containing large amounts of beta-carotene (30mg or more) can result in a yellowish bronze-like coloration of the skin due to the accumulation of beta-carotene in the subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis), especially in the level of the hands and feet. This color disappears when the amount of beta-carotene is reduced.
Beta-carotene and smokers
Beta-carotene supplements should be used with caution in smokers. There is research showing that high doses of beta-carotene given to heavy smokers may increase the risk of lung cancer.
There is no evidence to suggest that beta-carotene supplements are harmful to non-smokers.

Sources of beta-carotene
Beta-carotene is found in a variety of foods, with the best sources being:
-green vegetables
- broccoli
-carrot
- red bell pepper
-zucchini
-apricots

The beta-carotene content of vegetables can vary greatly, depending on a number of factors such as: the soil in which the vegetables were grown, fertilizers, wind, weather conditions and treatments to which the crop was subjected.

Vitamin E
Bio-Caroten+E contains natural vitamin E in the form of da-Tocopherol, the most active type of vitamin E in the body. For optimal absorption, Bio-Carotene+E should be taken with food. The main effect of vitamin E is that of antioxidant. It manifests itself by protecting cells against oxidative stress, by inhibiting the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids. Vitamin E supports the protection of body cells against oxidative stress. The need for vitamin E is directly proportional to the intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Vitamin E is found in:
Wheat germ oil
Almonds, walnuts
Fat dairy products
Eggs
Green vegetables
