Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are the benefits of beta-carotene powder?

Beta-carotene powder converts to vitamin A in the body, supporting vision, immune function, and skin health. It also acts as a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from damage.

2. Can I take beta-carotene every day?

Yes, daily intake is generally safe for most adults. The recommended dose is 3-6 mg (5000-10000 IU). Always follow product instructions and avoid exceeding the upper limit.

3. Is beta-carotene good for hair growth?

It supports scalp health and provides antioxidant protection, but there’s no direct evidence it stimulates hair growth. Adequate vitamin A levels are important for maintaining healthy hair.

4. What is the best time of day to take beta-carotene?

Take it with a meal containing healthy fats (like avocado or nuts) for optimal absorption. Morning or lunchtime is ideal to align with your body’s nutrient processing rhythm.

5. Is beta-carotene good for eyes?

Yes, it helps protect eye tissues from oxidative damage and supports night vision. It’s particularly beneficial for preventing age-related macular degeneration when combined with other antioxidants.

6. How long does it take for beta-carotene to change skin?

With daily supplementation, skin typically shows improved glow and subtle yellow-orange tones within 2-4 weeks. These effects are temporary and fade when supplementation stops.
