Natural Beta Carotene Plus, 90 capsules

NATURA FELIX Beta Carotene Plus: The four best carotenoids for supporting normal vision and skin health

Carotenoids, which are classified as secondary plant compounds, are responsible for the red to yellow colouring of plant parts and fruits such as tomatoes, carrots and aubergines. Many dark vegetables, particularly our local kale, are also rich in carotenoids.
Beta-carotene (provitamin A) is a valuable source of vitamin A. This vitamin plays an important role in our skin and eyes. The other carotenoids are present in the retina of the eye, with lutein and zeaxanthin being particularly highly (the area of sharpest vision).

The combination of the four essential carotenoids – beta-carotene, lutein, lycopene and zeaxanthin – with the potent antioxidant vitamin E

• contributes to normal vision (Vit. A)
• helps maintain healthy skin (Vit. A) ensures a natural supply of vitamin A
• protects the eyes and skin from damage caused by sunlight (Vit. E) helps to counteract premature skin ageing caused by UV radiation (Vit. E)

NATURA FELIX Beta-Carotene Plus: highly effective carotenoids with excellent bioavailability

NATURA FELIX’s beta-carotene capsules contain carotenoids extracted from plants in high concentrations. These include an algae concentrate from Dunaliella salina (with a beta-carotene content of 20 per cent), a tomato extract (lycopene) and a marigold extract (zeaxanthin, lutein). These natural carotenoids are much more effective than synthetic carotenoid compounds, as they complement and enhance each other’s effects.
The bioavailability of the carotenoids is increased by up to 60% thanks to piperine from black pepper extract. The addition of vitamin E (VegeToc™ from rice oil), with its antioxidant properties, helps combat free radicals. All the cells in our body benefit from this, but particularly the skin, eyes and blood vessels.
The beta-carotene supplement is sugar-free and suitable for vegans. It contains salicylic acid (derived from tomatoes). Natural antioxidants such as rosemary extract and vitamin C palmitate ensure that the valuable ingredients remain fresh and of high quality.

Carotenoids for maintaining normal vision

The main source of vitamin A in our body is beta-carotene (provitamin A). Vitamin A helps to maintain normal vision, support sharp vision and maintain the eyes’ normal moisture balance. Furthermore, it helps to maintain normal skin and plays a role in the differentiation of epithelial cells.
