Important Information
Betacarotene is a type of carotenoid, which is a plant pigment that gives fruits and vegetables their yellow, orange, and red colors. The body can convert betacarotene into vitamin A. Vitamin A is important for maintaining healthy vision, skin, and immune function. Beta carotene supplements are not necessary for most people and may actually be harmful.
If you are considering taking a beta carotene supplement, speak with your doctor first. There are other ways to get vitamin A, such as through diet and fortified foods.
Beta carotene supplements are often marketed as a way to improve vision and prevent age-related macular degeneration (AMD). However, there is no scientific evidence to support these claims. In fact, taking beta carotene supplements may actually increase the risk of AMD in people who are already at high risk for the condition.
