What does it do?

Beta Carotene 20% granules are a pigment component of the carotenoid family and convert into vitamin A in the body. They are primarily used in pharmaceuticals to prevent and supplement vitamin A deficiency. Vitamin A is important for maintaining vision and immune function.

Beta Carotene is converted into vitamin A as needed in the body, supporting vision and skin health. Its antioxidant properties also help reduce cellular damage, which helps prevent problems related to vitamin A deficiency.
