Beta Carotene 1% Nutritional Supplement Provitamin A and Colour Support
Beta Carotene 1% Nutritional Supplement Provitamin A and Colour Support
Application Focus
For formulations focused on provitamin a, Beta-Carotene 1% Beadlet also offers colour support. Beta-carotene is a naturally occurring carotenoid and the main dietary provitamin A. It is supplied as a cold-water-dispersible beadlet powder for capsules, tablets, gummies and fortified beverages.
Ingredient Benefits
- Provitamin A Activity — Converts to vitamin A as the body requires it, supporting normal vision — especially night vision — and healthy mucous membranes.
- Antioxidant Protection — Quenches singlet oxygen and scavenges free radicals, helping protect cells and lipids from oxidative damage.
- Skin & Mucosal Support — Contributes to the normal condition of skin and mucous membranes as part of a balanced daily diet.
- Formulation Friendly — Provides a stable orange-red colour and disperses readily in cold water, ideal for beverages, gummies and dry blends.
For a formulation built around Beta-Carotene 1% Beadlet, evaluate provitamin a alongside colour support rather than selecting the ingredient by name alone. Consider how these features fit the intended product format, the other ingredients and the expected user experience. A sample formulation can help establish the most suitable presentation before a larger production run.
