What is Swanson Beta Carotene?
Vitamin A is an essential nutrient required by the body for normal growth. As well as supporting eye health, particularly night vision, it is used for bone and teeth formation, cell structure, protects the lining of the respiratory and digestive tracts and keeps the immune system working effectively. Vitamin A is absorbed by the body in the form of retinol and there are two main dietary sources: liver, egg yolks and dairy produce which contain retinols and many fruits and vegetables which contain carotenes which the body converts to retinol. Beta-carotene is a group of red, orange, and yellow pigments called carotenoids. In fact it is these carotenoids that are responsible for the orange colour in carrots, pumpkins and sweet potatoes.
Beta-carotene is also converted into retinol by the body. Swanson Beta-Carotene (Vitamin A) only contains the recommended and safer form of Vitamin A, beta-carotene, helping you to avoid an excessive intake.
