It is well-established that carrots are a healthy food. They contain many important nutrients—betacarotene and other carotenoids, B vitamins, the minerals calcium and potassium, and much more. Of all of these, it is beta-carotene that traditionally has received the most attention. Beta-carotene is one of about 600 similar compounds called carotenoids that are present in many fruits and vegetables. The body changes betacarotene into vitamin A, which is important in strengthening the immune system and promoting healthy cell growth. However, betacarotene is much more than the precursor to vitamin A. Only so much beta-carotene can be changed into vitamin A, and that which is not changed contributes to boosting the immune system and is also a potent antioxidant. Antioxidants fight free radicals and help prevent them from causing membrane damage, DNA mutation, and lipid (fat) oxidation, all of which may lead to many of the diseases that we consider “degenerative.” AIM Just Carrots® has one of the highest sources of natural beta-carotene—and provides up to 420 percent of the U.S. government’s Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of vitamin A.
