Carotenoids

(provitamin A)

• Carotino red palm oil is a very rich source of carotenoids;

• Vitamin A is produced in the body from carotene.

•  Compared to carrots, "Carotino" contains 15 times more carotenoids - it is the carotenes that give the oil a red color.

• Vitamin A helps maintain normal vision, skin and mucous membrane health, helps maintain normal iron metabolism and promotes normal immune function.

• Vitamin A (also carotenoids) is a fat-soluble vitamin - fat is needed for it to be absorbed by our body: that is why Carotino oil is a great source of this vitamin, as it provides both vitamin A and its absorption.

Vitamin E

• Carotino is rich in tocotrienols, a very rare form of vitamin E.

• The basic role of vitamin E in the body is to be an antioxidant;

• Different forms of vitamin E (Tocopherols and Tocotrienols) differ in their biological activity;

• Tocotrienols have 40-60 times higher antioxidant efficacy than a-tocopherol;

• Vitamin E promotes the protection of cells against oxidative stress
