 Beta Carotene
is the most potent form of Carotene available. It is present
in dark-green, leafy vegetables, carrots and yellow, red
fruits (such as peaches and apricots).
Beta Carotene
protects the mucus membranes of mouth, nose, throat and lungs.
It also helps protect Vitamin C from oxidation, which enables
it to perform at optimum efficiency.

your body converts to active Vitamin A, but which is derived
from vegetable and fruit sources, |

liver sources. You can take higher amounts of Beta Carotene in
supplemental form, 10 to 15 mg or 15,000 iu to 25,000 iu per
day, without risk.
