* Another name for pro-vitamin A is beta-carotene. The human body converts beta-carotene into vitamin A when necessary. One molecule of beta-carotene can be cleaved by the intestinal enzyme β,β-carotene 15,15'-monooxygenase into two molecules of vitamin A.(Biesalski HK)

** Pro-vitamin A/Beta-carotene is a well established anti-oxidant. Research has shown that beta-carotene kills breast cancer cells (G Sowmya Shree), protects lipoproteins in women (Lin Y), reduces cardiovascular mortality in elderly men (Buijsse B), acts as a photoprotective agent in the skin (Bando N), protects against ischemia (Karamese S), reduces the risk of colorectal adenoma recurrence (John A Baron), alleviates the effects of lead poisoning (Kasperczyk S), reduces oral leukoplakia (Garewal HS), preserves pulmonary function in patients with cystic fibrosis (P Rust),
