Description Beta Carotene

The information in the FAQ section was created by the Liki24.co.uk team and is based on the official manufacturer's manual

Beta carotene is a type of carotenoid found in plants, also known as provitamin A. This pigment is found mainly in yellow, red and orange fruits and vegetables. It has a powerful antioxidant effect, protecting vision, skin health and neurological function.

Forms of release

Beta-carotene is available in several forms, in different concentrations. Some examples include beta-carotene capsules or vials. There are also a number of cosmetic products containing beta-carotene, in the form of sprays, lotions or oils. A natural colouring agent containing beta-carotene is also available.

Indications for use

Beta-carotene supplements may be recommended for skin and eye health, to support immunity, to protect against damage caused by free radicals or for their antioxidant effects. It is also recommended in cases of beta-carotene deficiency. This precursor of vitamin A can support skin health, and some people use beta-carotene for an even tan – it stimulates melanin production, thus intensifying the ability to tan. Beta-carotene is also available as a colouring agent under the name E160a.

Dosage and administration

Beta-carotene as a supplement is mainly available in capsule form in various concentrations. In general, 1-2 capsules per day are recommended, depending on the concentration and your doctor's instructions. It is usually taken after a meal with a glass of water. The maximum daily dose of beta-carotene should usually be limited to 10,000-25,000 IU for adults.

Contraindications

Beta-carotene is not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding, especially in high doses. Doctors may also advise smokers against taking beta-carotene supplements.

Interactions with other medicines and foods

Beta-carotene capsules may interact with other medications and supplements, such as cholesterol-lowering medications or niacin, especially when combined with other vitamins and minerals.

Side effects

Beta-carotene supplements are generally safe as long as the recommended doses are followed. In higher doses, beta carotene may cause yellowing of the skin, diarrhoea, dizziness, joint pain or unexplained bruising.

Overdose

It is advisable to follow the recommended and prescribed doses, especially if you have certain health problems. Excess beta-carotene may cause yellow-orange skin discolouration.

Storage

Store the product at room temperature, away from heat and moisture.
