Description
This Beta-carotene supplement from G&G Vitamins provides 15mg of pure beta-carotene in a plant-based capsule. Beta-carotene is a vegan form of vitamin A which is found in plant-based foods such as carrots and sweet potatoes. It is a natural orange-red pigment that gives these foods their colour.
The beta-carotene provided in this supplement is sourced from micro-algae that is found naturally in sea salt fields. To survive the salty conditions, the algae produces high concentrations of beta-carotene to protect itself.
Beta-carotene is the pre-cursor to vitamin A, which is converted by our body into the retinol form of vitamin A. Once converted, our cells use the retinol for the maintenance of the skin, eyes, immune system and mucous membranes such as the lining of the nose, mouth, lungs and stomach.
Beta-carotene has been shown to have antioxidant effects, as it helps to neutralise free radicals in the body. Free radicals are produced in natural bodily chemical reactions, but they are also produced when the body is in a state of stess. This stress state can be caused by smoking, alcohol, processed food, environmental pollutants and emotional imbalances.
