Beta Carotene Antioxidant ReviewedHow does Beta Carotene compare? Please read our report below......
Supplement Details:One such nutrient that our body produces, but whose levels need to be increased as we grow older, is beta carotene (a member of the carotenoid family - which includes alpha-carotene, lycopene, zeaxanthin, and lutein), which has as its peers the likes of Vitamin E, as well as the mineral Selenium. Like the aforementioned, beta carotene has been proven to help the body in fighting illness and promote general well-being which ultimately results to a better quality of life.
What is the role that beta carotene plays in your overall health? It has been proven in several studies conducted over the past several years, that this antioxidant is a vital ingredient in the mitigation (or, at times, even prevention) of the effects of such illnesses as diminished immune system capabilities, diseases of the heart, various forms of cancer, and cataracts. It acts a precursor of Vitamin A (which is why it is called a provitamin A compound). Foods or supplements (natural or otherwise) that contain beta-carotene are converted to Vitamin A to maintain healthy skin, a robust immune system and encouragement towards better vision.
It is relatively easy to spot fruits and vegetables that contain beta-carotene. Because it contains flavonoids, which give the orange and red colors of the skin, beta carotene is almost always found in fruits and vegetables with skin of these colors. Prime examples of these are carrots, tomatoes, cantaloupe, watermelon, apricots, mangoes, sweet potatoes and the like.
To get the optimum levels of beta carotene from fruits and vegetables, here are a few tips:
1. The skin of fruits and vegetables is rich in beta carotene so it is strongly advised that these be consumed as much as possible.
2. Overcooking (e.g., allowing vegetables to remain in boiling water for a prolonged period of time) takes away the beta carotene, so if you must boil vegetables, do not do so as to make the vegetables soft. Grilling (and light steaming) is a better option in cooking vegetables which, in fact, increases the ability of the body to absorb the beta carotene (and flavonoids) in them.
Thanks in large part to the advancements in science, beta-carotene is now available in easy to take pills and capsules that are both convenient and provide an accurate measurement of the amounts that have been taken.
