Features:
Beta carotene is a red-orange pigment found in plants and fruits, especially carrots and colorful vegetables. The body converts beta carotene into vitamin A.
-foods richest in carotenoids include carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, spinach, cantaloupe, apricots and mangoes.
Beta carotene is a carotenoid and an antioxidant.
beta-carotene is known to have pro-oxidant activity in vitro
Beta carotene, a precursor of vitamin A and a well-known antioxidant, has been investigated for its potential roles in cancer prevention and therapy.

-By mitigating oxidative stress, beta carotene may indirectly reduce NF-κB activation.
-As a lipid-soluble molecule, beta carotene is integrated into cellular membranes, where it helps maintain membrane integrity and fluidity.
-at high concentrations or in the presence of high oxygen tension), beta carotene can exhibit pro-oxidant behavior, which may contribute to cellular damage.
