Nature's Sunshine Carotenoid Blend

Carotenoid Blend [Vital Nutrition]. Natural health enthusiasts have focused for years on beta-carotene, a carotenoid found naturally in fish oil, carrots and other sources. Its antioxidant properties make it a boon to overall health. But many members of the carotenoid family have been shown to have a positive influence on health. For example, lycopene (responsible for the red color of tomatoes) supports prostate health, lutein (found in dark green vegetables) offers a variety of health benefits, zeaxanthin (also found in dark green veggies) supports immune function, and so on. Although individual carotenoids offer distinctive health benefits, their synergistic effects may increase their potency and range of benefits. These include powerful free-radical quenching ability, heart and circulatory system support (including maintaining already-normal blood viscosity), support of healthy vision, protection from some ultraviolet light damage to the skin, glandular system support and a host of immunosupportive benefits.Nature's Sunshine has created a special blend of carotenoids mimicking the ratios in which they are found in body tissues. Each capsule contains a 75 mg blend of beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, lutein, lycopene, zeaxanthin, cryptoxanthin, phytoene, phytofluene and astaxanthin.
