A good friend of mine asked a question regarding Beta Carotene that was addressed in the Multivitamin Secrets Revealed audio. She wanted to know why you should limit beta carotene, as I suggested in the Part I audio.

Beta Carotene, which the body converts to Vitamin A, doesn’t show the same side effects at high levels of retinol (vitamin   palmitate or acetate.) However, very high doses (33,000 to 50,000 IU each day) may increase the risk of lung cancer in smokers.  The good news about beta carotene is it may help prevent cancer (according to studies.) It is advised to get it from your foods such as broccoli, carrots, and cantaloupe. Recommended dosage is around 15,000 IU each day.

More specifics will be addressed in Part II of Multivitamin Secrets Reveals. Watch for your next issue of Wellness Word.

Sincerely,

Jim
