Blackmores Beta Carotene contains naturally sourced
betacarotene from the alga Dunaliella salina. Beta carotene is
converted into vitamin A in the body.
Vitamin A is necessary for the healthy function of the skin,
mucous membranes, stomach and lung linings. Betacarotene is also
a potent antioxidant/free radical scavenger.
Betacarotene is either absorbed directly into the blood stream
or converted into vitamin A, depending on the body's current
vitamin A stores. It has antioxidant activity helping to
neutralise free radicals, and may be deficient in those with a
diet lacking in fruit and vegetables and in heavy drinkers.
Supplementation may also be of benefit in those who have an
inadequate dietary intake of vitamin A.
