Beta-carotene - natural protection for beautiful and healthy skin

Beta-carotene belongs to the carotenoid family and is a provitamin A. It is a precursor of vitamin A, which is converted into vitamin A in the body. Beta-carotene is found in many plant foods and gives them their characteristic orange or yellow colour. It is a fat-soluble molecule and is therefore best consumed in combination with fats. Beta-carotene and its effect on the skin The skin is the largest organ of the human body and the first line of defence against harmful environmental influences. An adequate intake of beta-carotene can help to protect the skin cells. Beta-carotene is a precursor of vitamin A, which is important for many functions in the body, including skin health. Vitamin A supports the growth and regeneration of skin cells and helps to keep the skin healthy and radiant. However, the body only ever converts as much beta-carotene into vitamin A as it actually needs. Beta-carotene is also known for its antioxidant properties and can give a pleasantly bronzed and fresh complexion.

Beta-carotene in combination with other nutrients

Beta-carotene can enhance its effects even further when taken in combination with other nutrients such as selenium, vitamin C and vitamin E. Selenium is an important trace element that also acts as an antioxidant and can help protect skin cells from damage. Vitamin C is important for collagen production, which is responsible for the elasticity of the skin. Vitamin E in turn acts as protection against oxidative stress and is also considered an important cell protection vitamin.

Beta-carotene as a dietary supplement

Beta-carotene is found in many types of fruit and vegetables such as carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach and peppers. A balanced diet rich in these foods can help to ensure an adequate intake of beta-carotene. Beta-carotene capsules are also available as a dietary supplement for people who cannot meet their beta-carotene requirements through their diet. The dosage form of a soft capsule ensures very good absorption and utilisation of the ingredients in the body because the nutrients are already dissolved in oil.
