Bio Carotene 60 capsules

Product description: Bio-Carotene is a small capsule containing 9 mg of pure beta-carotene, equivalent to 1500 micrograms of retinol. This dose is approximately 188% of the daily reference intake for beta-carotene. Bio-Carotene is manufactured in a way that mixes beta-carotene into an oil matrix that maintains its stability and increases bioavailability. In fact, studies document that beta-carotene in supplement form has better bioavailability than when obtained from vegetables. For optimal absorption in the body, Bio-Carotene should be taken with a meal. What is beta-carotene: Beta-carotene belongs to a group of yellow and red plant compounds with coloring effects. Beta-carotene is the substance that gives carrots their orange color. Beta-carotene is also an active vitamin converted into vitamin A in the amounts needed by the body. In some parts of the world, beta-carotene is considered the main source of vitamin A. Vitamin A also contributes to normal cell division and is essential for the normal functioning of the immune system. Beta-carotene and vitamin A: Beta-carotene is a good plant-based source of vitamin A. Beta-carotene is fat-soluble and is therefore absorbed more easily when taken with some type of fat. When beta-carotene is converted into vitamin A, it helps maintain healthy skin and mucous membranes. It is important for normal cell division and immune function. Furthermore, it helps maintain normal vision. Consuming large amounts of food and dietary supplements (30 mg or more) of beta-carotene can give the skin a harmless yellow color that some people find attractive. The color results from the accumulation of beta-carotene in tissues under the skin (flesh), especially in the hands and feet. This color disappears once beta-carotene intake is reduced. Beta-carotene and smokers: In some countries, dietary supplements containing beta-carotene must carry a warning for smokers, informing them not to use the product. This warning is based on research showing that high doses of beta-carotene taken by heavy smokers may increase the risk of lung cancer. There is no evidence suggesting that beta-carotene supplements are harmful to non-smokers. Additionally, there is no reason to fear getting too much vitamin A from beta-carotene, as the body stops converting it once its stores are saturated. Good sources of beta-carotene: Beta-carotene naturally occurs in many different foods, with the best sources being: green vegetables, broccoli, carrots, sweet peppers, squash, apricots. The beta-carotene content in vegetables can vary greatly depending on factors such as the soil they are grown in, fertilizers, wind, weather conditions, and post-harvest processing. How to use: One capsule daily, unless otherwise advised. Do not exceed the recommended amount. Take with food. Warnings and precautions: Pregnant and breastfeeding women and those taking medications should seek professional advice before taking supplements. Dietary supplements should not replace a varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Ingredients: Nutritional facts: Serving size: 1 capsule. Servings per container: 60.
