Carotenoids are plant pigments which protect the plant from damage from the harmful rays of the sun. Beta-carotene (9 mg) is a main carotenoid which acts as a precursor for vitamin A.
Beta-Carotene has been used to treat a variety of disorders. Its primary use is as an antioxidant helping to maintain a healthy immune system. Beta-Carotene has also been shown to be beneficial in protecting the skin from ultra-violet (uv)-induced damage.
