Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between beta-carotene and vitamin A?

Beta-carotene is a provitamin A carotenoid that the body converts to retinol (vitamin A) as needed. Unlike preformed vitamin A (retinol), beta-carotene from plant or algal sources does not carry a risk of toxicity at high intakes, as conversion is regulated by the body based on its actual vitamin A requirements.

Why is this beta-carotene derived from algae?

Algal-derived beta-carotene is a natural source that provides a full spectrum of carotenoids including both all-trans and 9-cis isomers, similar to what is found in food. This natural complex is considered a high-quality source compared to some synthetic alternatives.

Is beta-carotene safe for smokers?

Some studies have suggested that high-dose beta-carotene supplementation may not be advisable for smokers. If you are a current or former smoker, consult your healthcare professional before taking beta-carotene supplements.

Is NOW Beta Carotene suitable for vegetarians?
