Beta-Carotene Powder
Vitamin A (retinol) is a yellow, fat-soluble solid terpene alcohol obtained from some carotenoids by conversion in the liver where it is stored. While carotenoids are widely distributed in such foods as green and yellow vegetables, retinol is not found in any vegetable sources, but is concentrated in egg yolks and the livers of many animals. Vitamin A, either from animal sources or synthesized in our own liver, is essential for growth and protection from various diseases. Vitamin A and its analogs have shown the ability to help inhibit cancer cell proliferation and help in returning to normal growth patterns. Its inhibitory effects are especially potent against leukemia and certain head and neck cancers. Beta-carotene is the most potent precursor to vitamin A, but its conversion to vitamin A in the body is limited by a feedback system. Beta-carotene is also an important antioxidant in its own right and one that can only build up to toxic levels in rare circumstances. Beta-carotene has been shown to help prevent heart disease. One study has shown that for certain lifestyles (i.e., smokers) supplemental intake of too much beta-carotene in the absence of other carotenoids and antioxidants (such as at least 400 IU/day of vitamin E) may be harmful. Caution: - While beta-carotene is not toxic for healthy people and cannot cause a toxic buildup of vitamin A, those with liver disease should not take large doses. 1/8 teaspoon
contains: Pure gelatin is used as the filler in this product. Dosage and
use - This product is most effectively utilized when taken in divided doses with fat-containing, low fiber meals. Other ingredients: fish gelatin, suc-rose, corn oil, starch, di-alphatocopheryl acetate, ascorbyl palminate.
