A natural antioxidant, beta carotene is part of a larger family of nutrients called carotenoids, which are plant pigments with vitamin-like properties. Like other antioxidants, beta carotene protects the body against free radicals. A beta carotene supplement may also help to strengthen the immune system, increase lung capacity, reduce the skin’s risk to sun and DNA damage as well as reduce cholesterol levels. Adequate amounts are essential for a healthy body and its benefits can increase when taken with other antioxidants like vitamins C and E.
Why Take a Beta Carotene Supplement?
Getting enough beta carotene requires eating a well-rounded diet with lots of fruits and vegetables. The National Institute of Health recommends 9 milligrams daily for adult men and 7 milligrams for adult women. Foods with high levels of beta carotene include the following: pumpkin, sweet potato, carrots, cooked greens, apricots, sweet peppers, kale, turnip greens, broccoli, mango and squash varieties. Unfortunately, not many of us are able to ensure we consume enough beta carotene through diet, and too little can lead to an increased risk for joint problems.
Can I Consume Too Much Beta Carotene?
Most sources say 15-20 milligrams is the most an adult should consume in one day. Although this nutrient is not toxic for the average person who doesn't smoke or drink heavily, it can cause some unpleasant side effects. High doses of beta carotene over periods of time may cause nausea, loose stools, bruising, joint pain, and a yellow/orange coloring on hands and feet.
