Product Description

All natural high potency formula for tissue protection High
doses of beta-carotene alone have been shown to reduce blood levels of other
carotenoids such as lycopene and lutein. Much of the research that has found
beta-carotene to be a protective phytochemical has actually studied the intake
of whole fruits and vegetables, which are sources of a variety of carotenoids
including natural beta-carotene. The xanthophylls, lutein and zeaxanthin, may
play a special role in the health of the eyes, as one study found that their
long-term intake appeared to support the function of the macula. The
carotenoids, beta-carotene and lycopene, have a number of antioxidant
functions, such as protecting against the singlet oxygen, one of the most
destructive types of free radical. Mixed Carotenoids is a broad-spectrum
carotenoid supplement, containing natural-source beta-carotene along with the
trace carotenoids alpha-carotene, lutein, lycopene, zeaxanthin and
cryptoxanthin.
