Beta Carotene is the pigment responsible for giving yellow vegetables like carrots and sweet potatoes their coloring. It is one of the major carotenoids and one the most biologically active of approximately 800 carotenes and more than 1,000 carotenoids in food. Beta Carotene is one of the most important naturally occurring antioxidants.
Beta Carotene may be referred to as provitamin A in some literature because it is easily converted by the liver into Vitamin A (retinol). While excessive amounts of vitamin A may be toxic, the body will only convert as much Beta Carotene as needed, making it a safe source for Vitamin A. Beta Carotene and Vitamin A are vitally important to good health. They may impact you in a variety of areas:
As a powerful antioxidant, Beta Carotene destroys free radicals including singlet oxygen – an oxygen that is missing an electron and is very damaging to human tissue if not quickly scavenged.
