Beta-Carotene
BetaCarotene is a 100% natural mixed carotenoid complex extracted from crude red palm oil (Elaeis guineensis), which is the largest natural source of carotenes (retinol equivalents). It contains approximately 15 to 300 times more retinol equivalents than carrots or tomatoes. The mixed carotenoid complex of crude palm oil contains approximately 33% α-carotene and 65% β-carotene, in addition to other carotenoids (gamma-carotene, lycopene, etc.). Both α-carotene and β-carotene act synergistically, offering greater health benefits than β-carotene alone. Our formulation has one of the highest concentrations of beta-carotene as a precursor of vitamin A in combination with additional carotenes.
HEALTH CLAIMS (EU Regulation 432/2012): Vitamin A has a role in the proper maintenance of mucous membranes, skin and vision. It contributes to regulate iron metabolism and it’s involved in the proper functioning of the immune system
