Did you Know? One of the most important nutrients for the body is Beta Carotene

Carotenoids are abundant in nature under the form of pigments found in plants and are responsible for imparting vibrant colors to fruits and vegetables. Once ingested, Beta Carotene converts into vitamin A: A powerful antioxidant. that protects cells from the damaging effects of harmful free radicals. It grants us a long list of health benefits for the body, skin and hair … Here in after we selected the most important ones:

Body Health Benefits:

1. Potent Antioxidant Activity in fighting chronic diseases, lowering possible inflammation levels, and increasing defense mechanism against oxidative stress. Consequently, we fight better against aging and degeneration.
2. Lower risk of cardiovascular diseases. It works with vitamin E to reduce the oxidation of LDL cholesterol to lower the risk of coronary heart disease.
3. Excellent Eyesight: Beta Carotene helps in delaying the age-related progression of macular degeneration, responsible for central vision.
4. Prevents Cancer: Beta Carotene fights off infections and viruses, and helps destroying cancerous cells before they can spread. Dietary intake of Beta Carotene lowers the risk of breast, colon, oral cavity, and lung cancers.
5. Better Brain Health: Research has proven that our brain functioning starts decreasing as we age: we think slower and observe a reduction in our memory power. Beta Carotene fights the possible damages of brain cells and reduces the risk of dementia.
6. Fights Diabetes: Adequate levels of Beta Carotene decreases the probability of suffering from impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes.

Skin Health Benefits:

1. Prevents Dandruff: Deficiency of vitamin A can cause a dry dull hair and dry scalp, which can flake off into dandruff.

We recommend Bio-Carotene from PharmaNord, in the form of small capsules with pure Beta Carotene equivalent to 1500 µg vitamin A. This dose is about 188% of the RDA level (Recommended Daily Allowance). Its manufacturing is done in a way, where Beta Carotene is mixed into an oil matrix that keeps it stable and increases bio-availability. In fact, studies document that Beta Carotene in supplement form, has better bio-availability, than when you get it from vegetables. For optimal absorption in the body, Bio Carotene should be taken with a meal.
