Beta-carotene is a natural pigment belonging to the carotenoid family and is converted into vitamin A in the body. It is used in pharmaceuticals for the prevention and treatment of vitamin A deficiency. It plays an important role, especially in maintaining vision and immune function.

Beta-carotene is converted into vitamin A in the body as needed, helping to maintain vision and promote cell growth. Additionally, its antioxidant properties contribute to reducing cell damage.
