Natural beta-carotene is an organic chemical compound from the carotenoid class, which are naturally occurring pigments that give a strong red-orange color to many fruits and vegetables. It is a precursor to vitamin A, meaning it can be converted into vitamin A in the body as needed.
Beta-carotene, found in many plant-based foods, is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative stress. It also has potential health benefits, such as supporting the immune system, protecting against certain eye diseases, and shielding the skin from harmful external factors.
The richest sources of natural beta-carotene are various vegetables and fruits with strong red, orange, and yellow colors, such as carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, bell peppers, spinach, mango, apricots, peaches, and melon. Consuming these foods can help increase levels of beta-carotene and other valuable nutrients in the diet, which may provide health benefits.

Lyc-O-Beta™ - 100% natural beta-carotene
Lyc-O-Beta™ is a natural beta-carotene extracted from Blakeslea Trispora through fermentation. This form of beta-carotene is microencapsulated, providing high bioavailability and efficient absorption in the body. This means the body can more easily convert beta-carotene into vitamin A as needed.
Immune system support
Vitamin A is crucial for the functioning of the immune system. Studies show that vitamin A helps maintain the integrity and function of the mucous membranes of the respiratory, digestive, and urinary tracts, which are important barriers against infections. Additionally, vitamin A affects the development and differentiation of white blood cells, which are important in the body's defense against pathogens.
Iron metabolism
Vitamin A promotes normal iron metabolism by facilitating the mobilization of iron from the body's stores. This is especially important for preventing iron deficiency anemia, which is a common form of anemia and can lead to fatigue and weakened immune function.
Healthy mucous membranes
Vitamin A is important for maintaining healthy mucous membranes. Mucous membranes act as a protective barrier against infections and injuries. By supporting the health of mucous membranes, vitamin A can help reduce the risk of infections and inflammatory conditions.
Healthy skin
Vitamin A is known for its benefits to the skin. It helps maintain skin health by supporting cell renewal and repair processes. This can improve skin texture, reduce signs of aging, and protect against damage caused by UV radiation and other environmental factors.
Normal vision
Vitamin A is essential for vision, especially night vision. Retinal, a form of vitamin A, is a component of rhodopsin, a pigment in the retina that is necessary for seeing in low light. A deficiency in vitamin A can lead to night blindness and other vision problems.
Support for the nervous system
The vitamin C in this product plays an important role in the functioning of the nervous system. It helps protect nerve cells from oxidative stress and supports the production of neurotransmitters, which are important for communication between nerve cells.
Collagen production
Vitamin C is essential for normal collagen formation, which is important for the function of blood vessels. Collagen is a structural protein that provides strength and elasticity to the walls of blood vessels. By supporting collagen production, vitamin C can help maintain vascular health and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
