Pure Beta Carotene Powder

What is Pure Beta Carotene Powder?

Pure Beta Carotene Powder is a type of carotenoid and a great source of vitamin A in the human diet. Carotenoids are C40 lipophilic pigments found in plants, fungi, algae, and bacteria. There are more than 600 different types of carotenoids in nature. Humans cannot synthesize carotenoids themselves and need to take them through food or dietary supplements. More than 30 carotenoids were found in human blood samples, with the highest levels of lycopene, lutein, zeaxanthin, beta-cryptoxanthin, and beta-carotene.

Carotenoids are an important source of dietary vitamin A. Provitamin A refers to carotenoids that can be converted into vitamin A in the small intestine and liver cells, and is chemically characterized by containing an unsubstituted beta ring and a C11 structure, such as beta carotene pure. Results of a study in 8 developed countries (approximately 120,000 participants) showed that preformed vitamin A accounted for nearly 65% of total vitamin A intake, and provitamin A accounted for only 35%, of which beta-carotene accounted for 86%, alpha-carotene accounted for 10%. In developing countries, dietary carotenoids provide about 80% of the daily intake of vitamin A.

How does Pure Beta Carotene Powder work in the body?

Absorb

Carotenoids such as beta-carotene have a highly hydrophobic backbone and are difficult to disperse in the body fluid environment of the digestive tract. Under the action of bile and pancreatic enzymes, pure beta carotene can form mixed micelles with lipids and be absorbed by intestinal epithelial cells. 

Distribution

Differences in the chemical structure of carotenoids lead to differences in intermolecular polarity, affecting tissue distribution and lipoprotein distribution. Due to the lipophilic nature of carotenoids, carotenoids are transported in the circulation with various types of lipoproteins, being incorporated into the hydrophobic core of various lipoprotein particles. Such as very low-density lipoproteins, VLDL, low-density lipoprotein, LDL, high-density lipoprotein, HDL) and chylomicrons. 

After the body ingests carotenoids, they are initially present in the plasma in the form of chylomicrons and VLDL. After 24 to 48 hours, it will appear in lipoproteins, such as LDL and HDL. Most circulating beta-carotene and lycopene (70%) are found in LDL, while most lutein or zeaxanthin (50%) is found in HDL.

Metabolism

The gut is the most important site for converting beta-carotene into vitamin A. However, in vitro studies have shown that the liver, fat, lungs, and kidneys are all able to convert beta-carotene to retinoids. β-carotene 15,15'-monooxygenase, BCMO1, and β-carotene 9'10'-dioxygenase, BCDO2 enzymatically convert a portion of absorbed β-carotene in a central or eccentric cleavage manner.

What are the benefits of Pure Beta Carotene Powder?

1. Synthetic Vitamin A

The multiple unstable conjugated double bond structures of β-carotene are easily oxidatively decomposed and isomerized in an environment of high temperature, oxygen, and light. It can generate various degradation products such as plant hormones, aroma substances, and vitamin A.

2. Antioxidant function

The structure contains multiple conjugated polyene double bonds and has strong free radical scavenging ability and antioxidant activity. It can reduce the production of intracellular lipid oxides and alleviate the adverse effects of oxidative stress.

3. Anti-inflammatory function

It mainly regulates the expression of cytokines by activating signaling pathways such as MAPK and NF-κB in vivo, thereby exerting its anti-inflammatory function.

4. Immunomodulatory function

pure beta carotene can be converted into vitamin A in the body, participate in the development of the immune system, and improve the immunity of the body. It can also directly exert immunomodulatory functions by regulating gene expression and immune response, promoting the proliferation of B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes, and the production of macrophages and cytokines.

5. Other functions

Beta-carotene also promotes pigmentation, improves meat quality, improves reproductive performance, and affects gut microbes.

Where to buy beta carotene?

Beta-carotene is the main source of vitamin A in the human diet. In recent years, this group of genes encoding key metabolic enzymes, including carotenoid transporters and metabolic enzymes, has been identified. Do you want to buy beta-carotene?
