Product description:
Beta carotene is the molecule that gives carrots their orange colour. Beta carotene is part of a family of

products such as egg yolks. Biologically, beta carotene is most important as the precursor of vitamin A.
Beta carotene also has anti-oxidant properties and may help in preventing cancer and other diseases.
Beta carotene is also known as a provitamin because it can be converted in our body into vitamin A after

an anti-oxidant and neutralizes singlet oxygen radicals formed during photosynthesis.
