Basic information
Beta-carotene (C40H56) is one of the carotenoids, an orange-yellow fat-soluble compound, which is the most ubiquitous and stable natural pigment in nature,belong to natural chemicals .It is found in abundance in plants, giving fruits and vegetables their plump yellow and orange colors. The appearance of the pure product is reddish purple to dark red crystalline powder, with a special smell
beta carotene antioxidant
The antioxidant activity of β-carotene is mainly manifested in its ability to scavenge free radicals. The β-carotene molecule contains multiple double bonds, which are easily oxidized in the presence of light, heat, oxygen and free radical ions with strong activity, thereby protecting the body from damage. There is a large amount of lipid peroxidation and free radical reaction in the organism, which leads to the decline of cell function, the aging of the body and the occurrence of diseases. The presence of β-carotene can reduce lipid peroxidation.

beta carotene benefits
Beta carotene, after ingestion of human digestive organs, can be converted into vitamin A, is A safer supplement of vitamin A products
It keeps eyes and skin healthy, improves night blindness, rough skin, and helps protect the body from free radical damage.
The antioxidant activity of beta-carotene is mainly manifested in its ability to scavenge free radicals
Beta-carotene and other carotenoids enhance the ability to communicate intercellular junctions.
Beta-carotene can reduce a person's sensitivity to the sun, especially for skin diseases caused by sun exposure
β-carotene added to animal food as feed additive has certain special function for animals
