Product Description:Bio-Carotene are small capsules with 9 mg pure betacarotene equivalent to 1500 µg retinol equivalents. This dose is about 188% of the daily reference intake level for betacarotene.Bio-Carotene is manufactured in a way where betacarotene is mixed into an oil matrix that keeps it stable and increases bio-availability. In fact, studies document that betacarotene in supplement form has better bio-availability than when you get it from vegetables.For optimal absorption in the body Bio-Carotene should be taken with a meal.What Is Betacarotene:Betacarotene belongs to a group of yellow and red plant compounds with a coloring effect. Betacarotene is the substance that provides carrots, among others, with their orange color.Betacarotene is also a pro-vitamin that gets converted into vitamin A in the amounts needed by the body. In some parts of the world, betacarotene is the major source of vitamin A.Vitamin A also contributes to normal cell division and it is necessary for normal functioning of the immune system.Betacarotene and vitamin ABetacarotene is a good vegetable source of vitamin A.Betacarotene is fat-soluble and is therefore absorbed more readily when ingested with some kind of fat. When betacarotene gets converted into vitamin A it contributes to maintaining normal skin and mucous membranes.It is of importance for normal cell division and immune function. Moreover, it helps to maintain normal vision.Ingestion of food and dietary supplements with large quantities (30 mg or more) of betacarotene may provide the skin with a harmless yellowish color that some people find attractive.The color is a result of betacarotene accumulating in the subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis), mainly on the hands and feet.This color vanishes as soon as the intake of betacarotene is reduced.Betacarotene and smokers:In some countries dietary supplements containing betacarotene must carry a warning for smokers, telling them not to use the product.This warning is based on research showing that large doses of beta-carotene taken by heavy smokers may increase their risk of lung cancer.There is no evidence suggesting that betacarotene supplements are harmful for non-smokers.In addition, there is no reason to fear getting too much vitamin A from betacarotene, as the body stops converting it once its stores are saturated.Good betacarotene sources:Betacarotene occurs naturally in several different foods, some of the best sources being:green vegetablesbroccolicarrotsbell peppersquashapricotsThe betacarotene content in vegetables may vary quite a lot, depending on factors like the soil they were cultivated in, fertilizers, wind, weather conditions, and the subsequent treatment of the cropHow To Use:1 capsule daily, unless otherwise advised.
