Beta carotene is converted to Vitamin A (Retinol) when required. Retinol has several biochemical functions including roles in the retina, growth, tissue differentiation, and immunological response. It also has some anti-cancer activity.

Vitamin C is the most powerful reducing agent known to be present in living tissues. Vitamin C deficiency produces scurvy. It plays a role as a cofactor in numerous biological processes including the conversion of proline to hydroxyproline, dopamine to noradrenaline. Vitamin C is important for the normal functioning of T-lymphocytes and leukocytes.

Vitamin E acts as a defense against oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation. In cell membranes, there is one molecule of tocopherol for every 1000 lipid molecules. Tocopherol neutralizes peroxide radicals and is regenerated by ascorbic acid or reduced glutathione.

Adults: 1 tablet/capsule once daily.

• Diarrhea may occasionally occur during beta carotene treatment
• Skin may assume a slightly yellow discoloration (reversible)
• Large doses of Vitamin C and Vitamin E may cause diarrhea and other gastrointestinal disturbances
• Toxic effects of Vitamin A (after beta carotene conversion) are normally reversible
• Chronic overdosage may lead to peeling and redness of skin, disturbed hair growth, loss of appetite, and sickness
• Large doses of Vitamin E may cause diarrhea, abdominal pain, and other gastrointestinal disturbances

[CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR] High doses of Vitamin A should be avoided during pregnancy (potential teratogenic effects). Avoid use in early pregnancy.
