1. Eye Health

Provitamin A carotenoid beta-carotene may help prevent the onset of eye disease and can help promote good eye health.

As a powerful antioxidant, beta-carotene helps reduce the oxidative stress on our eyes caused by exposure to blue light from device screens and UV radiation. By boosting the immune system, vitamin A helps decrease eye inflammation and the risk of developing eye infections.

Free radicals cause damage to our tissues, thereby contributing to chronic inflammation and disease formation. Antioxidants boost our immune function by scavenging and destroying free radicals.

Beta carotene primarily attributed to its function as an antioxidant, can helps improve the skin’s defense against UV radiation from the sun. This protection will help the skin maintain its elasticity and decrease the effects of sun damage, including fine lines, wrinkles, and sunspots.
