Sea algae may not sound appetizing, but it sure delivers a good deal of nutrition. Swanson Betatene® Natural Mixed Carotenoids delivers a patented form of beta-carotene derived naturally from nutrient-rich sea algae Dunaliella salina . D salina naturally produces a broad spectrum of carotenoids. Carotenoids function as antioxidants, helping protect cells from oxidative stress caused by normal metabolism and environmental factors. Some carotenoids, such as beta-carotene, can also be converted into vitamin A, which supports healthy vision, immune function, and overall wellness.
Unlike supplements that provide only beta-carotene, Betatene® contains a blend of carotenoids, including beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin, and cryptoxanthin, in proportions similar to those found in nature. This diverse carotenoid profile provides broad-spectrum antioxidant support and serves as a natural source of provitamin A carotenoids.
