Betacarotene is a rich source of antioxidants

Betacarotene

Beta carotene is basically the fat-soluble pigments which give plants their orange, yellow or red colors.

Yet, it’s so much more than that, as it takes an active role in the health of our bodies.

Betacarotene is a powerful antioxidant, with abilities that allow it to convert to vitamin A, when our body is in short supply.

Lycopene is a carotenoid found in red tomatoes, and has the highest antioxidant activity of all in this family.

Vitamin C and ester-C is richest in citrus fruit, cabbage, tomatoes, peppers and greens.

Benefits

Betacarotene and vitamin A are rich sources of antioxidants, which protect your body from many long term health concerns, like:

• Aging
• Cancer
• Free-Radicals

Antioxidants are also found in foods like green and yellow vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds, while beta carotene can also be found in orange and yellow veggies and fruits.

Vitamin C

Not only does vitamin C play an important role in free radical protection, it also helps our body in other ways, like:

• Boost Immunity
• Cancer-Preventive
• Anti-Inflammatory

Vitamin A should always be taken in the presence of vitamin C, E, or healthy dietary fat.

Vitamin A is also found in beta carotene, and is essential for growth, bone development, night vision, reproduction, and healthy skin.

A healthy body will produce healthy cells, which is the best strategy for protection against free radical damage.

This is the philosophy behind antioxidants: vitamin A, C, ester-C and betacarotene.
