Product information for Pharma Nord Bio-Caroteen:
Application of Pharma Nord Bio-Caroteen:
Beta-carotene is a carotenoid. These substances are divided into two main groups: carotenes and xanthophylls. Carotenes consist of hydrogen and carbon, while xanthophylls also contain oxygen atoms. Beta-carotene belongs to a group of yellow and red plant pigments. It is this substance that gives carrots their orange color. Because beta-carotene is fat-soluble, the substance is best absorbed together with fat. This process takes place in the upper part of the small intestine. Beta-carotene is also a provitamin and can be converted into vitamin A if the body requires it. The substance is also produced synthetically and used as a food coloring.Beta-carotene and Vitamin A
Beta-carotene is a good source of plant-based Vitamin A. In some parts of the world, it is even the only source of this vitamin. Converted into Vitamin A, beta-carotene contributes to the maintenance of normal skin and the upkeep of normal mucous membranes. The substance also plays a role in maintaining normal vision. Finally, Vitamin A is involved in the process of cell specialization in the body and has a positive influence on the immune system.
With a high intake of beta-carotene (30 mg or more) from food or dietary supplements, the skin may develop a harmless, light brown discoloration that some people find attractive. The discoloration is the result of the accumulation of beta-carotene in the subcutaneous skin tissue (hypodermis). The discoloration disappears as soon as the amount of beta-carotene decreases.
Beta-carotene and smokers
High doses of beta-carotene show an increased risk of negative health effects in heavy smokers with long-term use and are therefore advised against.
Good sources of beta-carotene
Beta-carotene occurs naturally in various foods. A few of the richest sources are:
✓Green vegetables
✓Broccoli
✓Carrots
✓Bell peppers
✓Pumpkins
✓Apricots
The beta-carotene content in vegetables can vary widely, depending on factors such as the soil in which they were grown, the use of fertilizer, wind and weather conditions, and the post-treatment of the harvested vegetables.
