Beta-carotene is pro-vitamin A or, what amounts to the same thing, a form of storage of this fat-soluble vitamin.
A supplement of vitamin A in the form of beta carotene is recommended, since the tolerated amount of beta carotene without reaching toxic levels is much higher than in the case of the vitamin.
Benefits:
- Essential for vision, beta carotene becomes retinal in the retina to regenerate eye pigments damaged by light.
- In deficiency states, the epithelial cells flatten and harden, losing the protective mucosal layer and keratinizing and causing hyperkeratinization of the corneas, dry mouth and hardening of the salivary glands, which makes them more susceptible to infections.
- In the stomach and intestines, the production of mucous secretions is reduced, which causes diarrhea, indigestion and poor absorption.
- The skin becomes dry and hard and crusts of dead skin form.
- The respiratory system loses the ability to make mucus and breathing becomes more difficult, with infections proliferating.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE: 1 capsule per day.
