Active A - With Beta Carotene * 25,000 IU - For improved vision Vitamin A is an essential nutrient which is required for both normal and night vision, and maintaining healthy skin and mucous membranes. It is also needed by the thymus gland and the bones. Beta-carotene, or pro-vitamin A, is a potent antioxidant. It is converted to vitamin A in the body when needed to optimize vitamin A levels.
Key features:
- Vital to the growth and development of the human body.
- Potent immune-system booster.
- Powerful antioxidant.
- Guards against heart disease.
- Prevents certain cancers. Beta-carotene is probably the best known of the carotenoids, those red, orange, and yellow pigments that give color to many fruits and vegetables. The body converts beta-carotene into vitamin A, a nutrient first identified in the 1930s and now recognized as vital to the growth and development of the human body.
As a potent immune-system booster and a powerful antioxidant--it counters the effects of cell-damaging molecules called free-radicals--beta-carotene has an important role to play in human health.
In addition to the numerous studies on beta-carotene's effectiveness for heart disease and cancer, researchers have been exploring the nutrient's potential for treating chronic fatigue syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, fibromyalgia, male infertility, and psoriasis. Interestingly, low levels of beta-carotene and other antioxidants have been linked to the development of cataracts, a clouding of the eye's lens that impairs vision.
Beta-carotene may have a role to play in staving off heart disease, apparently a function of its ability to keep harmful LDL cholesterol from damaging the heart and coronary arteries.
