What does it do?

β-Carotene is a component belonging to the carotenoid family, a plant pigment that is converted into vitamin A in the body. It is used in pharmaceuticals to prevent or supplement vitamin A deficiency. It is particularly included in multivitamin preparations to aid in the supply of vitamin A.

In the body, β-carotene is converted into vitamin A as needed, contributing to the maintenance of vision and immune function. It supplements insufficient vitamin A, supporting normal growth and skin health.

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

Good to know

β-Carotene is not vitamin A itself but a precursor, and the risk of vitamin A toxicity from excessive intake is relatively low. Unlike pure vitamin A, it is converted into the required amount in the body, thus having a higher safety profile.
