CAROTENOIDS

Carotenoids are plant pigments that give fruits and vegetables
their bright red, yellow and orange hues and are important to plant
health. People who eat food containing carotenoids get protective
antioxidant benefits as well.

Carotenoids support healthy eyes and good vision! The human
body does not naturally make the carotenoids it needs. Getting daily
amounts of carotenoids through dietary intake can help maintain
eye health. These are the 6 beneficial carotenoids not to be missed
for body and vision wellness.
