Natural Beta Carotene 15mg Natural - 90 Capsules - Lamberts®

In terms of human nutrition beta carotene is one of the most important phyto pigments and is distributed throughout the plant world. It belongs to the carotenoid family and when ingested it serves as a precursor to vitamin A. For this reason it is often referred to as 'provitamin A'. This conversion from beta carotene to vitamin A takes place in the liver, kidneys and intestinal mucosa at a rate which varies from person to person according to physiological needs.

Beta carotene is now recognised as an important substance itself, being one of the main antioxidant nutrients in our diet. Antioxidants are substances that help our bodies to destroy or quench harmful free radicals that are produced quite naturally in the human body and which, if allowed to proceed unchecked, can harm tissues and organs.

Lamberts® Natural Beta Carotene is extracted in the natural form from the algae, Dunaliella Salina, and so the beta carotene is very similar to that found in vegetables. This means that in addition to the beta carotene there are a number of other natural carotenoids included.
