What gives us the beta-carotene?
Unlike vitamin A, which are limited antioxidant, beta-carotene are among the nutrients with increased antioxidant capacity. So it may help control and prevention of cancer development.
Who needs extra amounts of beta-carotene?
While taking beta-carotene is recommended to all people, certain groups may benefit from supplementation. These are people who smoke or drink alcohol.
Smokers may benefit from beta-carotene supplements for various reasons. The first and most important, is that beta-carotene seems to have a protective effect on lung cancer. Furthermore many studies seem to have found that smokers have lower levels than normal for this substance. Smoking also increases the need for beta-carotene in the body. A study published in the journal of the American College of Nutrition showed that smokers and nonsmokers consumed about equal amounts of beta-carotene in their diets, yet smokers had a lower amount of this substance in blood plasma . Moreover, studies show that alcoholics have low levels of beta-carotene, and their levels are low so if they smoke or not do.

Moreover it was observed that crystalline, generally has low levels of beta-carotene, and hence a conclusion is precisely for this reason supplementation can reduce the level of oxidation that can suffer the lens.
