General Questions
What is Carotene (beta carotene)?
About Carotene
Carotene, derived from beta-carotene in plants, adds vibrant color to food and cosmetic products. However, be aware of potential side effects from consuming carotene-rich products. Some may experience temporary discomfort like burping, constipation, or diarrhea. Claims linking excessive carotene intake to health risks are inconclusive.
Carotene is a precursor to vitamin A, supporting vision, immunity, and cell growth. Balanced diets with carotene-rich foods provide nutritional benefits, but moderation is key for optimal health.
