Beta Carotene contains important antioxidant and perhaps the best known carotenoid. It is one of approximately 50 carotenoids known as "provitamin A"compounds, able to be converted in the body into retinol, an active form of vitamin A. It is stored in the body and converted to Vitamin A as needed. Vitamin A deficiencies have been linked to a number of health issues including poor vision, and poor bone development.
