Beta-Carotene and Carotenoids


what are the health benefits of carotenoids

  • Beta-carotene is a type of substance called a carotenoid. Carotenoids give plants, such as carrots, sweet potatoes, and apricots, their reddish-violet colors. 
  • Beta-carotene is a provitamin. This means it's used by your body to make vitamin A.


  • Carotenoids are a group of pigments found in various colorful fruits and vegetables. They are powerful antioxidants and have been linked to several health benefits. Here are some of the key health benefits of carotenoids:

  • Antioxidant activity: Carotenoids are potent antioxidants that help neutralize harmful free radicals in the body. By reducing oxidative stress, carotenoids protect cells and tissues from damage, potentially lowering the risk of chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and neurodegenerative disorders.

  • Eye health: Some carotenoids, such as lutein and zeaxanthin, are particularly beneficial for eye health. They accumulate in the macula of the eye, where they act as a natural sunblock, protecting the eyes from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays and blue light. Carotenoids may help reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts.

  • Skin health: Carotenoids contribute to skin health by providing protection against UV-induced damage. They can help reduce the risk of sunburn and skin aging caused by excessive exposure to sunlight.

  • Immune system support: Carotenoids have immunomodulatory properties, which means they can help regulate and support the immune system's response to infections and diseases.

  • Heart health: Some studies suggest that high dietary intake of carotenoids is associated with a reduced risk of heart disease. Carotenoids may help lower LDL cholesterol levels, improve blood vessel function, and reduce inflammation, all of which contribute to better cardiovascular health.

  • Cancer prevention: Carotenoids, particularly beta-carotene, lycopene, and lutein, have been linked to a reduced risk of certain types of cancer, including lung, breast, prostate, and digestive tract cancers. Their antioxidant properties help protect cells from DNA damage and inhibit the growth of cancer cells.

  • Bone health: Some carotenoids, like lycopene, may play a role in supporting bone health and reducing the risk of osteoporosis.

  • Brain health: Carotenoids, particularly lutein and zeaxanthin, have been associated with improved cognitive function and memory in older adults.

  • Diabetes management: Carotenoids may have a beneficial effect on blood sugar regulation and insulin sensitivity, making them potentially useful in managing diabetes and prediabetes.

To obtain the health benefits of carotenoids, it's important to consume a diverse and colorful array of fruits and vegetables. Carotenoids are typically found in orange, red, yellow, and green fruits and vegetables, such as carrots, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, spinach, kale, and bell peppers. Including a variety of these colorful foods in your diet can provide a broad spectrum of carotenoids and other beneficial phytonutrients that support overall health and well-being.
