Beta-carotene is a carotenoid. Carotenoids are divided into two main groups: carotenes and xanthophylls. Carotenoids consist of hydrogen and carbon, while xanthophylls also contain oxygen atoms. Beta-carotene belongs to the group of yellow and red natural dyes. It is this nutrient that gives the bright color to carrots and other vegetables. Beta-carotene is oil-soluble, so it is better absorbed by the body together with fats. This occurs in the upper part of the small intestine. Beta-carotene is a so-called provitamin, because it can be converted into vitamin A if the body needs it. Beta-carotene is also produced in a synthetic form, which is used as a food coloring. Beta-carotene is a good plant-based source of vitamin A, but in some regions of the world, beta-carotene is the only source of vitamin A for the population. In the human body, beta-carotene can be converted into vitamin A, which helps maintain healthy skin and mucous membranes, as well as normal vision. In addition, vitamin A plays an important role in the process of cell specialization and contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
Foods and supplements with high levels (30 mg and above) of beta-carotene can give the skin a light tan tone, which many people find attractive. This is the result of beta-carotene accumulating in the cells under the skin (hypodermis), mainly in the palms and soles of the feet. This tone disappears as beta-carotene levels decrease.
