Bio-Carotene 1500- 60 Capsules

What is Bio-Carotene?

Bio-Carotene is a dietary supplement containing 9 mg of beta-carotene, which the body converts into 1,500 micrograms of vitamin A. This vitamin plays a crucial role in supporting skin health, vision, immunity, and mucous membranes.

• Vision.

• Immune function.

• Mucous membrane integrity.

• Research suggests that beta-carotene supplementation may help reduce the risk of certain diseases.

• Each Bio-Carotene capsule contains:

• 9 mg of beta-carotene, equivalent to the amount found in four large carrots.
