Vegan formula
Beta Carotene is a powerful antioxidant that may help protect the body from harmful free radicals. As the precursor of vitamin A it may also help night vision and may help in preventing cancer and other diseases. It is said to aid the body's natural defences. This is one of the only truly vegan sources of Beta Carotene available as many contain gelatin derived from animal.
Beta-carotene is the molecule that gives carrots their orange colour. It is part of a family of chemicals called the carotenoids, which are found in many fruit and vegetables, as well as some animal products such as egg yolks. Carotenoids were first isolated in the early 19th century, and have been synthesised for use as food colourings since the 1950s.
Beta-carotene is also known as provitamin A, because it is one of the most important precursors of vitamin A in the human diet. Compairing the two molecules it is clear that vitamin A (retinol) is very closely related to half of the beta-carotene molecule. Vitamin A has several functions in the body. The most well known is its role in vision - hence carrots "make you able to see in the dark".
