This is because of the way it works in the body. Most of us get plenty of vitamin A and its provitamin, carotenoids from our diet alone. Furthermore, our bodies can store vitamin A up for later.

If you eat your fruits and veggies every day, you may already have good carotenoid levels in the body, and if not, maybe you could benefit from a Holland & Barrett Lutigold Lutein supplement. Foods rich in carotenoids include honeydew melon, orange juice, kiwis, squash, grapes, and red peppers. Hammond, B. R., Jr., Curran-Celentano, J., Judd, S., Fuld, K., Krinsky, N. I., Wooten, B.
