Alpha-carotene for Health
Recent research has shown that alpha-carotene may be a more potent antioxidant than beta-carotene. Antioxidants protect the body from free radicals  charged particles that can damage the body's cells and DNA. Alpha-carotene is a pro-vitamin A. This means that the body can transform alpha-carotene into retinol (vitamin A) which is particularly important for eye health.
