What does it do?

Beta-carotene is a natural pigment belonging to the carotenoid group, which is converted into vitamin A in the body. It is primarily used in multivitamin preparations to prevent and supplement vitamin A deficiency.

Ingested beta-carotene is converted into vitamin A by enzymes in the body, helping to maintain vision and immune function. It also plays a role in reducing cell damage through its antioxidant properties.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know

Beta-carotene is not directly vitamin A but rather a precursor that is converted to vitamin A in the body as needed. Unlike pure vitamin A, it has lower toxicity when overdosed, making it safer.
