Beta carotene

Beta carotene is a powerful antioxidant and a precursor to vitamin A, found in various fruits and vegetables, especially those with orange and yellow pigments, like carrots, sweet potatoes, and apricots. It plays a vital role in maintaining healthy vision, promoting skin health, and supporting the immune system. As an antioxidant, beta carotene helps protect cells from free radical damage. The body converts beta carotene into vitamin A as needed, reducing the risk of toxicity. Available as a dietary supplement, it’s an effective way to enhance overall health, particularly for those with limited fruit and vegetable intake.
