Beta-carotene is an important nutrient because it not only transforms in our bodies into vitamin A, but it is also a powerful antioxidant. It is the best known of a group of compounds known as carotenoids including other carotenoids, lutein, and lycopene. While vitamin A itself may be toxic when taken in excess, beta-carotene is generally not toxic. It is a safe way to provide the body with the necessary vitamin A. These nutrients are necessary for proper eye function, good heart health, and repair of epithelial tissue of which the skin and mucous membranes are composed. As important antioxidants, these compounds are also able to deactivate the damaging free radicals associated with poor health and aging. 25,000IU. 60 Softgel Capsules.
