Is Beta-Carotene Pescatarian?
CautionSometimes. Carotene (sometimes called Provitamin A) can come from animal, plant, or synthetic sources. If the label does not provide a source, we recommend calling the manufacturer.
Beta-Carotene and the Pescatarian Diet
Beta-carotene is a red-orange pigment found in plants and fruits, especially carrots and colorful vegetables. It is a type of carotene and a precursor to vitamin A, meaning the body can convert it into vitamin A, which is crucial for maintaining healthy vision, skin, and immune function. While beta-carotene is often derived from natural sources like fruits and vegetables, it can also be synthetically produced or obtained from animal sources such as fish liver oil. It is commonly used as a food coloring and a dietary supplement.
