Beta Carotene Tablets

Beta Carotene is thought to scavenge 'free radicals' from the body. In excess, free radicals may contribute to cell and tissue damage. Beta Carotene is a powerful antioxidant, as well as being the precursor of Vitamin A. It may help protect the body from harmful excess free radicals. Beta Carotene is also thought to help night vision, and may help to maintain the body's natural defences.

The family of ‘mixed carotenoids’ function together as an antioxidant team – helping to mop up excess highly reactive molecules called free radicals. Damage to cells by free radicals has been linked to ageing of the skin as well as to more serious diseases. Carotenoids can help protect the skin from photo-ageing following exposure to UV radiation eg sunbathing – however a quality topical suntan lotion is still an essential safeguard.
