Natural Beta Carotene Plus, 90 capsules

The 4 best carotenoids for normal vision and skin

Carotenoids are secondary plant substances and are responsible for the red to yellow colouring of plant parts and fruits (e.g. tomatoes, carrots, aubergines). But many dark-coloured vegetables, especially our native kale, also contain many carotenoids.
Beta carotene (provitamin A) is a valuable source of vitamin A. This vitamin is very important for our skin and eyes. The other carotenoids are detectable in the retina of the eye, with lutein and zeaxanthin being particularly highly concentrated in the yellow spot (the area of sharpest vision).

The combination of the 4 most important carotenoids beta carotene, lutein, lycopene and zeaxanthin with the powerful antioxidant vitamin E

• supports normal vision (vitamin A)
• contributes to the maintenance of normal skin (Vit. A)
• ensures a natural supply of vitamin A
• protects eyes and skin from damage caused by sunlight (Vit. E)
• counteracts premature skin ageing caused by UV light (Vit. E)

WOSCHA Beta Carotene Plus: particularly effective carotenoids with high bioavailability

The beta carotene capsules from WOSCHA contain carotenoids that are extracted from plants in a highly concentrated form. These include an algae concentrate (beta carotene), tomato extract (lycopene) and marigold extract (zeaxanthin, lutein). Compared to synthetic carotenoid compounds, these natural carotenoids are much more effective because they complement and reinforce each other.
Piperine from black pepper extract increases the bioavailability of carotenoids by up to 60%. And the addition of vitamin E (from sunflowers) supports the fight against free radicals with its antioxidant properties. All cells in our body benefit from this, especially the skin, eyes and blood vessels.

Carotenoids to maintain normal vision

Beta carotene (= provitamin A) is the most important source of vitamin A for our body. Vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of normal vision and supports sharp vision as well as the normal moisture balance of the eyes. It also contributes to the maintenance of normal skin and plays a role in the differentiation of epithelial cells.
