FAQ
- What does beta carotene do in the body?
Beta carotene is a carotenoid and a precursor to vitamin A, meaning the body converts it into vitamin A as needed. In addition to supporting healthy vitamin A status, beta carotene acts as an antioxidant, helping protect cells from oxidative stress. Through these roles, it supports healthy vision, immune function, skin health, and normal cellular function. - How does beta carotene support eye health?
The body converts beta carotene into vitamin A, which is essential for the production of rhodopsin, the light-sensitive pigment in the retina that supports normal vision, particularly in low-light conditions. Beta carotene also provides antioxidant support, helping protect the eyes from oxidative stress and supporting long-term visual health. - How does beta carotene support immune health?
As a precursor to vitamin A, beta carotene helps support the normal function of immune cells and the integrity of epithelial tissues, including those that line the respiratory and digestive tracts. Its antioxidant activity also helps protect cells from oxidative stress, supporting the body's natural immune defenses and overall wellness. - Can you take too much beta carotene?
Beta carotene is converted to vitamin A only as needed, making it less likely than preformed vitamin A to accumulate in the body. However, taking large amounts of beta carotene supplements may cause a harmless yellow-orange discoloration of the skin called carotenemia. High-dose beta carotene supplements are not recommended for current smokers because clinical studies have shown an increased risk of lung cancer in this population. Always follow the product directions and consult your healthcare provider before taking high-potency supplements. - Is Swanson Beta-Carotene suitable for special diets?
Swanson Beta-Carotene is not suitable for vegan or vegetarian lifestyles because it contains a gelatin softgel. It is also not made with non-GMO ingredients and is not formulated or certified to be gluten free or dairy free. Individuals with gluten or dairy sensitivities should review the ingredient list before use.
