Beta-carotene is a supplement that primarily affects the body's largest organ: the skin. It is also a precursor to vitamin A, which is one of the most important vitamins for the body. It helps keep your skin and mucous membranes healthy and functioning. Beta-carotene also has beneficial effects on the immune system. When needed, the body converts the beta-carotene you ingest into vitamin A.

Why does beta-carotene make you tan?
It is the pigment in beta-carotene that gives, for example, carrots their orange color. It works in a similar way when you use beta-carotene as a dietary supplement. The lightly bronzed beta-carotene is stored in the hypodermis (subcutaneous tissue). The hypodermis's main function is to insulate the body and consists mainly of fat cells, collagen fibers, and blood vessels. When beta-carotene is stored in fat cells, it makes your skin appear darker, from the inside out. GAAM's Beta-Carotene activates the skin's cells to produce melanin, which to some extent provides you with natural protection against the sun's harmful rays, but remember that beta-carotene does not replace sunscreen products.
Other health benefits:
Beta-carotene has a range of other properties. For example, it is an antioxidant that protects cells from free radicals and oxidative stress, it can lower cholesterol levels, lubricates the body's mucous membranes and membranes, and has a positive effect on digestion, among other things. When the body then converts beta-carotene into vitamin A, it becomes an important player in your immune system.
