Orange

Orange fruits and vegetables owe their color to α-carotene and β-carotene, which belong to the group of carotenoids. Among vegetables, the best sources of α-carotene and β-carotene are carrots and squash. While melon, mango and orange are the fruits with the highest contribution of these carotenoids. It is followed by other fruits and vegetables such as sweet potatoes, citrus fruits (grapefruit and tangerine), peaches, papaya and apricots. Carotenoids are precursors of vitamin A (provitamin A), have antioxidant capacity, provide benefits for vision and skin, promote the immune system and prevent cardiovascular diseases.

Human body cannot synthesize most vitamins and minerals, so you are supposed to provide these nutrients to your body through a healthy diet. Either inadequate intake of vitamins and minerals through diet or inadequate absorption are the main causes of lack of vitamins and minerals in the body.

At today’s society, we lose the amount needed of micronutrients and their nutritional capacity as a consequence of consuming processed foods and industrialized products. Thus, it is important to take nutritional supplements to help us acquire the necessary nutrients and help our body to be healthy and strengthening the immune system. Hence the importance to add dietary supplements to your diet such as α-carotene and β-carotene.
