Natural beta-carotene
Beta-carotene is converted to vitamin A in the body, and its activity is measured in RE (Retinol Equivalents).
Why buy Beta-Caroteno by HSN?
Do you know all the characteristics of our beta-carotene that make it a product of high concentration and maximum quality?
Don't miss a thing!
Each vegetable capsule of Natural Beta-Carotene contains 9mg of beta-carotene.
And how much is that?
The United Nations FAO and the American USDA state that the conversion activity of beta-carotene to International Vitamin A units is 1IU=0.6mcg beta-carotene.
Therefore, 9mg of beta-carotene is equivalent to 15,000 International Vitamin A Equivalent Activity Units..
Did you know...
A capsule of this product gives you the recommended daily amount of vitamin A?
Beta-carotene e retinol
Beta-carotene is an inactive form of vitamin A.
However, this is converted by metabolic bioactivation in the human body into active vitamin A (Retinol), which is how vitamin A in foods is measured in relation to nutrient Reference Values (NRV).
The conversion equivalence used is that provided by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), which states that 6 micrograms of beta-carotene is equivalent to 1 mcg of Retinol.
For this reason, each capsule of our natural beta-carotene contains:
9000mcg (9mg) of beta-carotene = 15000 International Units = 1500 micrograms of retinol equivalents (active vitamin A).
Vegan-friendly
While the main sources of vitamin A in nature are of animal origin (especially fatty fish), beta-carotene has a plant origin as it is a plant metabolite.
To maximise its activity, it doesn't have to be in an oily medium, such as vitamin A, that is eminently fat-soluble. Even so, our recommendation is to take it together with a meal.
Beta-carotene is a natural source suitable for vegans, coated with hypromeellose, a vegetable compound.
