BioCare BetaCare - Beta Carotene Supplement - 30 Vegicaps
Beta carotene is a natural vitamin A precursor found widely distributed in fruits and vegetables, in which it forms part of their yellow and orange pigment. Carrots are one of the richest sources of these pigments and this is where the name carotene was derived.
Beta carotene must be converted into vitamin A before it can be used by the body. Only one third of the carotene found in food is converted to vitamin A. Unabsorbed carotene is excreted from the gastrointestinal system.
Features of BetaCare:
- Beta carotene is an antioxidant that helps quench free radical activity;
- Beta carotene helps maintain healthy eyesight and may aid in the protection of the cardiovascular system;
- When converted to vitamin A, beta carotene helps maintain an active immune system;
- Beta carotene is non-toxic as the body converts it to vitamin A only when required;
- BioCare's Beta carotene is micellised into small droplets by our unique MicroCell water solubilisation process to enhance absorption.
