What Is Beta Carotene

Benefits And Uses For Beta Carotene:

The body converts Beta Carotene to Vitamin A when needed for the immune system and other functions. This is why another name for Beta Carotene is Pro-Vitamin A. In addition to all the uses of Vitamin A, Beta Carotene seems to have a special role in helping prevent illness...particularly cancer. Some study results suggest Bata Carotene may reduce the risk to lung cancer significantly, even among smokers.

Deficiency Symptoms Of Beta Carotene:

None!

Toxicity (Overdose) Symptoms Of Beta Carotene:

None! In fact, this is why many recommend Beta Carotene instead of taking a higher dose of Vitamin A. That way, you get all the A you want without risking Toxicity.

Foods High In Beta Carotene:

Carrots, broccoli, spinach, cauliflower, cabbage, asparagus and other vegetables in much smaller amounts.

Supplements Of Beta Carotene:

While no recommended amount has been established, 25,000 IU daily may help in preventing many types of illness, from cold and flu to cancer. For smokers, 50-75,000 IU per day may be wise. Of course, there is no guarantee against getting cancer or any other illness.

Health And Fitness For Life:

If you're looking to nutrition for health and fitness, you probably want a healthy life...not just body or looks...but mind, body and spirit. You can renew your mind and spirit with God's help. He can heal the stuff your diet doesn't control. If you want His help, go to Healing From God.
