NaturesPlus Betacaroteno Natural – 25.000 UI Vitamina A + Vitamina E – 90 Cápsulas Blandas

What is beta-carotene and why is it important?

Beta-carotene is a natural pigment belonging to the carotenoid family. It acts as a provitamin A, meaning the body converts it into vitamin A as needed. This makes it a safe and effective source of this essential vitamin, as the body regulates the conversion and prevents potential excesses. NaturesPlus sources its beta-carotene from the microalgae Dunaliella salina, grown in seawater, which produces up to 10,000 times more beta-carotene than carrot cells. Each softgel provides 25,000 IU of vitamin A (as beta-carotene) and vitamin E, an antioxidant that complements its action.

Benefits of beta-carotene for eye health, skin, and defenses

Normal vision

Vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of normal vision. Beta-carotene, as a precursor, supports retinal health and adaptation to changes in light. Adequate intake helps the eye protect itself naturally against environmental factors.

Healthy skin

Thanks to its antioxidant properties, beta-carotene helps the skin defend itself against oxidative stress caused by solar radiation and other external agents. Vitamin A also contributes to the maintenance of skin under normal conditions.

Immune system

Vitamin A participates in the normal functioning of the immune system. By consuming beta-carotene, the body obtains a reserve that it can convert into the active form when necessary, thus strengthening natural defenses.

How much vitamin A do I need per day?

Recommended intakes for adults vary between 800 and 1000 mcg of retinol equivalents per day. 25,000 IU of beta-carotene is approximately equivalent to 7500 mcg of retinol equivalents, a dose that amply covers daily needs. However, being provitamin A, the body only converts the amount it needs, which reduces the risk of toxicity. It is important not to exceed the recommended daily dose indicated on the package.

Possible side effects and precautions

Beta-carotene is generally well tolerated. High consumption can tint the skin with a yellowish tone (carotenodermia), a harmless effect that disappears when the dose is reduced. Smokers or those exposed to asbestos should consult a healthcare professional before taking beta-carotene supplements. Its use during pregnancy or lactation is not recommended without medical supervision. As with any supplement, keep the product out of the reach of children and do not use it as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet.
