Carotenoids
What Are Carotenoids?
Carotenoids are natural pigments that occur in plants and some bacteria. There are over 600 known carotenoids, several of which are common in food, and are important antioxidants in the body. Carotenoids fall into two classes: the carotenes, which includes, among may others, beta-carotene and lycopene; and the xanthophylls which includes lutein and its isomer, zeaxanthin. Carotenoids are what give many food their characteristic colors; beta-carotene makes carrots and mangoes orange, lycopene makes tomatoes and watermelon red, and lutein makes the stalks of swiss chard red.
Beta-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin have long been associated with eye health, while lycopene is known for its potential heart and prostate benefits. However, new research has found that these compounds may improve bone, skin, brain, and arterial health.
