What does it do?

Beta-carotene is a natural pigment belonging to the carotenoid family, which is converted into vitamin A in the body. It is primarily used in pharmaceuticals for the prevention and supplementation of vitamin A deficiency.

Beta-carotene is converted into vitamin A as needed in the body, helping to maintain vision and immune function. It allows for sufficient vitamin A supply while avoiding excessive vitamin A intake.
