Natural β-Carotene

β-Carotene is a liposoluble carotenoid widely found in nature. It is composed of two β-ionone rings linked by a long-conjugated polyene chain. The all-trans form is predominant, containing 11 conjugated double bonds. It is a typical liposoluble tetraterpene pigment. β-carotene is used as a nutritional fortifier, edible orange pigment and food coloring agent.

Benefits of β-Carotene

Vitamin A precursor

It is converted as needed in the body into vitamin A, avoiding vitamin A toxicity; it improves night blindness, dry eye syndrome, and protects vision and mucosal health.

Strong antioxidant

The conjugated double bonds can quench singlet oxygen, eliminate free radicals, delay cell aging, protect cell membranes and DNA; inhibit the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein, contribute to cardiovascular health.

Enhance immunity

Promote the proliferation of immune cells and antibody production, strengthen the mucosal barriers of the respiratory and digestive tracts, and reduce the risk of infection.

Skin protection

Reduce sensitivity to ultraviolet rays, improve photosensitive dermatitis; assist in regulating psoriasis, ichthyosis and other keratotic skin diseases.

Others

Potential anti-cancer (preventing epithelial cell carcinogenesis), protecting reproductive health, and delaying macular degeneration.
