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.

3987- betaCar,  Lyco,    Carotenoid bioavailability is higher from salads ingested with full-fat than with fat-reduced salad dressings as measured with electrochemical detection
- Trial, AD, NA
*eff↑, A substantially greater absorption of carotenoids was observed when salads were consumed with full-fat than with reduced-fat salad dressing.

3988- betaCar,  Lut,  Zeax,    Effects of egg consumption on carotenoid absorption from co-consumed, raw vegetables
- Trial, AD, NA
*eff↑, The total mean (±SE) carotenoid AUC0–10h in TRL was higher for the HE meal than for LE and control meals [125.7 ± 19.4a compared with 44.8 ± 9.2b compared with 14.9 ± 5.2b nmol/L · 10 h, respectively
*eff↑, lutein and zeaxanthin increased 4–5-fold (P < 0.001), and the TRL AUC0–10h of carotenoid not present in eggs, including α-carotene, β-carotene, and lycopene, increased 3–8-fold (P < 0.01) for the HE meal compared with the control meal.
*eff↑, These findings support the claim that co-consuming cooked whole eggs is an effective way to enhance carotenoid absorption from other carotenoid-rich foods such as a raw mixed-vegetable salad.
