Beta-carotene is also called pro-vitamin A,<br />
and is another important fat-soluble<br />
antioxidant vitamin. Like vitamin E, it is<br />
transported primarily in lipoprotein particles<br />
in the bloodstream to millions of body cells.<br />
Also like vitamin E, beta-carotene prevents<br />
these fat particles from rusting and damaging<br />
the cardiovascular system.<br />
Beta-carotene is documented in a rapidly<br />
growing number of clinical studies as another<br />
protective agent against cardiovascular<br />
disease. Similarly to vitamin E, beta-carotene<br />
has been shown to decrease the risk of blood<br />
S U R G E P L A N<br />
clotting.
