What is Alpha-Carotene?
Alpha-carotene is a member of the carotenoid family and is one of the most abundant carotenoids in a healthy diet.
The body converts alpha- and beta-carotene into vitamin A needed for healthy skin and bones, good vision and a strong immune system. Because the body converts alpha-carotene into vitamin A, it is called the precursor form of vitamin A. However, as a vitamin A precursor, alpha-carotene is half as potent as beta-carotene, another well-known carotenoid. But on the other hand, as an antioxidant, alpha-carotene is more potent than beta-carotene.
Alpha-Carotene Uses
- Antioxidants are enzymes that stop free radicals from breaking down or oxidizing cells. Powerful antioxidants like alpha-carotene kill free radicals before they damage the body and lead to chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer. In addition, alpha-carotene also plays a role in preventing cancer by stimulating cell-to-cell communication, a process needed to ensure that cells divide properly.
- Carrot has the functions of lowering gas and calming asthma, eliminating phlegm, digestion, and distension.
- Experiments have shown that α-carotene has 10 times the ability to inhibit tumor cells than β-carotene, and has a strong effect on preventing abnormal changes in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). As early as more than a decade ago, studies have found that the higher the concentration of alpha-carotene in the blood, the lower the risk of heart disease in subjects. According to a 14-year follow-up survey conducted by researchers at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people with higher levels of alpha-carotene in their blood have a longer life expectancy.
