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 to buy at Supersmart. These natural carotenoid pigments are known both for their yellow-orange colour and their many health benefits.
To date, more than 600 carotenoids have been identified in living organisms, including several families such as the carotenes and xanthophylls. Unlike algae, green plants, and certain fungi and bacteria, humans are not able to produce carotenoids and we therefore have to look to external sources to obtain carotenoids’ benefits. 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.
The orange-coloured carotenes exist in various forms, the main ones being alpha-carotene and beta-carotene. The latter is the most common form found in Nature.
The carotenoids supplement Carottol™ delivers the many health benefits of these natural pigments - optimising vision, growth, bone development, reproduction and the immune system. It is thus indicated in the prevention or treatment of several diseases including those affecting the eyes. And because of beta-carotene’s provitamin A role, it can also be recommended for correcting deficiency in vitamin A.
This supplement comes in the form of capsules in order to maintain the quality of its active principles, including provitamin A. Each capsule contains:
This optimal strength means the recommended dose for this supplement is 1-2 capsules a day, to be taken with food, though this dose can be adjusted in line with your needs and the advice of your therapist. In addition to this natural carotenoid complex, you may also be interested in our new multivitamin formulation Daily 6® which combines more than 50 ingredients in a single capsule.
