Beta Carotene 10,000 IU from Vitameal is a dietary supplement that has great activity as provitamin A. Vitamin A protects against different types of anomalies, against cataracts and heart conditions. It is a stronger antioxidant than vitamin A, into which it is converted once ingested in the liver and intestines, according to the needs of the body. As the amount of beta-carotene increases, the proportion of the absorbed material that is converted to vitamin A decreases, and the proportion of carotene that enters the bloodstream without undergoing any transformation increases. Its antioxidant properties are enhanced in the presence of other carotenoids. Take one capsule daily, preferably with food. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of reach of small children. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet. Allergens: soy. Store in a cool, dry place.
