Carotenoids

Indeed, fruits and vegetables such as carrots, peaches, mandarins, tomatoes, watermelons, and even Brussels sprouts, spinach, or kale are rich sources of carotenoids. Although the vegetable pigment remains masked because they contain high concentrations of chlorophyll.

Alpha and beta carotenes, as well as cryptoxanthin, are precursors to vitamin A, which means that at the end of the transformation process, they form vitamin A. Vitamin A plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the retina and therefore good eyesight. It is also essential for maintaining optimal immune system function.
