Get powerful antioxidant support for your entire body and boost vision health with Swanson Beta-Carotene vitamin A supplement. A type of carotenoid found in plants, beta-carotene (vitamin a) is common in fruits and vegetables and helps give carrots and oranges their rich color. Beta carotene can be converted into vitamin A by the body, and its antioxidant activity supports immune system health in addition to helping maintain skin and hair health. The antioxidant support delivered by Swanson beta-carotene pills helps promote total-body wellness and is especially effective in boosting eye health. Also, many people believe that beta-carotene intake boosts a healthy glow since the body can readily convert it to vitamin A, which can enhance skin, vision, immune system, and organ health. Beta-carotene is slightly different from most types of vitamin a because it's considered a pro-vitamin A carotenoid. Unlike vitamin a, pro vitamin A carotenoids are found primarily in plants, whereas vitamin A is present in beef liver, some types of fish such as tuna and salmon, and dairy products.
