Description
"Beta-Carotene Extract" is a supplement derived from plant sources such as carrots and sweet potatoes, classified as a provitamin A carotenoid. It serves as a precursor to vitamin A, essential for vision, skin maintenance, and immune function. This carotenoid is typically implemented to support eye health, promote skin integrity, and strengthen the body’s natural defenses while helping combat oxidative stress. As a naturally occurring compound, beta-carotene extract contributes to nutritional balance and plays a role in overall physiological function.
