Carotene Oil Powder - Vitamin A Natural
50 gram bottle
The powder'carotene oil is one concentrated natural source of vitamin A, derived from palm oil, which is the most rich vegetable oil in carotenoids.
Carotene, especially beta carotene, is a powerful antioxidant that plays an essential role in reducing oxidative stress, promotes eye health, improves cognitive function and supports skin protection and lung health.
Carotenoids, such as α-carotene and β-carotene, present in palm oil, are precursors of vitamin A. They are transformed into vitamin A in the body, supporting various essential biological functions. Compared to other plant sources, palm oil contains up to 300 times more equivalent retinol, making it one of the richest sources of provitamin A.
Benefits of carotene oil powder for health
We can quote several benefits of this carotene oil powder. Here are some health benefits:
Reduction of oxidative stress
Thanks to their ability to turn off singulet oxygen, carotenoids help to reduce oxidative stress, thus protecting cells from damage caused by free radicals. Studies have shown that carotenoids can minimize or prevent photo-oxidation and thus reduce the risk of diseases involving free radicals.
Eye health
Carotenoids, in particular the beta-carotene, are essential for health of the eyes, because they are transformed into vitamin A, necessary for night vision and retina health. Research has shown that carotenoid consumption is associated with a reduced risk of age-related macular degeneration and other eye disorders.
Improvement of cognitive function
Vitamin A plays a crucial role in development and brain function. Antioxidants in carotenoids can also protect the brain from oxidative damage, thus improving cognitive function and reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.
Skin protection
Carotenoids are known for their protective properties against UV rays, helping to prevent sun damage and promote healthy skin. Studies have shown that carotenoids can reduce signs of skin aging and improve overall skin health.
Support for lung health
Antioxidants like carotenoids can help protect the lungs from oxidative and inflammatory damage, which is particularly beneficial for people with respiratory diseases.
