We’ve all heard how carrots are good for your eyesight, but how? All because of a special Phyto-nutrient called Beta-Carotene, which is abundant in certain fruits and vegetables. Yellow and orange fruits and vegetables get their colour because of their Beta-Carotene content. It is important to incorporate foods with different colours onto our diet. The body converts Beta Carotene into Vitamin A, which contributes to the maintenance of good eyesight, a healthy immune system and normal metabolism.
Beta Carotene is a safe and effective way of taking Vitamin A, as the body only converts the required amount into Vitamin A. HealthAid® has created a mixed Carotenoid capsule for your body to convert into its own Vitamin A to use as it needs, without the risk of excess Vitamin A ingestion. HealthAid® Beta Carotene Capsules contain natural Beta Carotene derived from the sea plant Dunaliecia Salina, found in the unpolluted lake of Whyalla in South Australia.
