As consumer health consciousness increases, health supplements have become a popular way to prevent diseases and promote health. While Vitamin A can accumulate in the body and lead to toxicity, β-Carotene is only converted into Vitamin A by the body when needed. As such, β-Carotene is a safer source of Vitamin A. Furthermore, as a powerful antioxidant, β-Carotene can also prevent damage caused by free radicals. Our β-Carotene products with various formulation types can be used for vitamin tablets, soft gel capsules, gummies, powders and energy drinks. Lycopene is also a powerful antioxidant that protects human body from damage caused by free radicals and prevents the skin from harmful UV rays. Some studies show that Lycopene may also lower the risk of heart disease and lipid oxidation, lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, enhance the body’s immunity system and in particular, prevention of cancer. Allied offers a series of Lycopene products that are ideal for dietary supplements, soft gel capsules and energy drinks.
