Beta Carotene Capsules – Antioxidant for Eye Health

The dietary supplement Carottol™ is formulated to provide an optimal intake of carotenoids, including the famous beta-carotene, often described as a provitamin A, now available at Supersmart. These natural carotenoid pigments are known for their yellow-orange color and many health benefits.

Why take Carottol™?

To date, researchers have identified more than 600 carotenoids in living organisms, which belong to several families, such as carotenes and xanthophylls. However, unlike algae, green plants, and certain fungi and bacteria, humans cannot produce carotenoids. Therefore, we must rely on external sources to obtain the benefits of carotenoids. This is why Carottol™ has been formulated to combine several carotenoids in a single capsule. It contains beta-carotene, lycopene, astaxanthin, lutein, and zeaxanthin, all of which have been widely studied for their health properties and uses.

What are the Mixed Carotenoids Supplements present in Carottol™?

The orange-colored carotenes exist in various forms, mainly alpha-carotene and beta-carotene. The latter is the most common form found in nature.

Studies on beta-carotene have demonstrated its high antioxidant potency and consequent ability to combat oxidative stress and free radical-induced damage. It is also a precursor of vitamin A, often described as a provitamin A. Like all vitamins, vitamin A is essential for human health, contributing to bone formation and synthesis of eye pigments. Unfortunately, however, deficiency can occur. Therefore, supplementing with provitamin A, which, once ingested, is converted into vitamin A, is often recommended to prevent or correct such a shortfall.

Part of the xanthophyll family, the yellow pigments lutein and zeaxanthin are found in several foods, such as egg yolk and corn. They are concentrated in the macula, a small area of the retina, where they offer protection by filtering UV and certain blue light rays. This protective effect helps minimize damage to the light-sensitive cells in the retina. Studies thus suggest that supplementing with xanthophylls offers anti-aging effects, helping to prevent age-related degeneration in the retina.

Lycopene is a red pigment found in tomatoes and other red fruits. Of the hundreds of carotenoids identified, lycopene is the most abundant in the human body and is also considered one of the most powerful. Lycopene offers significant antioxidant potency, effectively neutralizing molecules involved in oxidative stress. In addition, being fat-soluble, it effectively eliminates free radicals in the body's lipid regions. This is also the reason why this carotenoid has attracted scientific interest. Several studies suggest that lycopene supplementation reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and some forms of cancer.

Astaxanthin is a pink-to-red pigment found primarily in crustaceans and fish such as salmon. Like lycopene, astaxanthin is also recognized as being a powerful, natural antioxidant. Its anti-aging effects come from its ability to protect against cellular aging. Astaxanthin supplements are often used to protect the skin and eyes from UV radiation.

The carotenoid supplement Carottol™ delivers the many health benefits of these natural pigments, such as optimizing vision, growth, bone development, reproduction, and the immune system. It is thus indicated in preventing or treating several diseases, including those affecting the eyes. Due to the provitamin A role of beta-carotene, it can also be recommended for correcting a vitamin A deficiency.

What are the Benefits Associated with Beta-Carotene Capsules?

Taking a beta-carotene supplement provides an important source of Vitamin A. Still, Supersmart's formulation also acts as a provitamin A carotenoids and lutein source, further amplifying the benefits of standard beta-carotene supplements.

According to ScienceDirect, some of the benefits of beta-carotene include:

When to Buy Beta Carotene?

Beta-carotene capsules offer several benefits for people concerned about their long-term health.

What are the Side Effects of Carotenoid Capsules?

Carotenoid capsules are safe for human consumption. However, like with all supplements, you must always follow the recommended daily dosage. The few mild side effects that have been discovered are always related to consuming large amounts of beta-carotene.

Tracking your usage and noting the side effects of beta-carotene on your body is vital to protect your health and ensure safe supplement usage. Overall, beta-carotene supplements are well-tolerated by the vast majority of people.

However, if you are concerned about side effects, plenty of research exists online to inform and educate. You may also want to speak to your doctor if you are taking any existing medications for acute or chronic conditions.

How Should I Take These Beta-Carotene Capsules?

You should take one or two capsules a day, during meals. To take advantage of beta-carotene capsules benefits, it is strongly recommended that you consume them with food.

Since beta-carotene is fat-soluble, this mixed carotenoids supplement works best when at least three grams of fat are present in a well-balanced meal.

As always, stay within the recommended daily dosage, as exceeding it will offer no added benefits but only increase the risk of side effects. If you experience uncomfortable or unpleasant sensations, stop taking this supplement and schedule an appointment with your family physician.
