Forever A-Beta-CarE is an essential formula with vitamins A (beta-carotene) and E, plus the antioxidant mineral selenium. Antioxidants are vital in the fight against free radicals, chemical molecules that arise from pollutants in the body and which can damage healthy cells. Vitamin A has long been recognised as a powerful nutrient for the sight and the skin. Forever A-Beta-CarE is a specially formulated nutritional supplement that supplies vitamin A to the body in the beta-carotene form. The body converts beta-carotene to vitamin A in the small intestine during digestion as and when it is needed. So there is no fear of an overdose of vitamin A, which can be toxic when taken in large doses. Beta-carotene is also a recognised antioxidant, making it an ideal companion for vitamin E and selenium. Vitamin E is an excellent supplement for healthy skin too. It has been used to successfully treat other conditions such as menopausal hot flushes (vitamin E regulates body temperature) and certain blood diseases like sickle cell anaemia (vitamin E assists white blood cell function). It is also helpful in cases of osteo-arthritis. Vitamin E performs other vital roles in the body such as being an anti-clotting agent for the blood. The third member of this amazing trio is selenium, a trace mineral. It is one of the most powerful antioxidant nutrients known and works synergistically with both vitamin E and beta-carotene It also has a beneficial effect in maintaining healthy skin, hair and good eyesight. Recent research has shown that selenium is very important in maintaining men's health. It is thought that one factor in prostate cancer may be selenium deficiency. Also the lowered sperm count in some European males may be attributable to a lack of selenium. The evidence is overwhelming that this combination of nutrients is one of the most important weapons in your armoury against ill health, and it is now available in one convenient product, Forever A-Beta-CarE.
