What does it do?

Beta-carotene is a component of the carotenoid family that serves as a precursor to vitamin A. It is converted into vitamin A in the body and plays a crucial role in maintaining vision and eye health. It is primarily used in pharmaceuticals to support eye health.

Beta-carotene is converted into vitamin A in the body, aiding the function of the retina and improving adaptation to light. This helps reduce eye fatigue and contributes to the protection of vision.
