Beta-Carotene with Vitamins C and E is an antioxidant that deactivates free radicals, thereby reducing cellular damage. As a precursor to Vitamin A, beta-carotene, also called provitamin A, helps to maintain epithelial tissues, promotes bone and tooth development, and is important for vision reproduction and growth. It also supports cardiovascular health and a healthy immune system.

In this unique formula, multiple antioxidants work synergistically to provide enhanced protection, including the protection of polyunsaturated fatty acids, from oxidation. Beta-Carotene with Vitamins C and E contains natural source Vitamin E, which is more bioavailable than synthetic Vitamin E.

Directions
