Cannot Be Overdosed The Conversion From Beta-Carotene To Retinol (The Classical Definition Of Vitamin A) Takes Place In The Intestinal Mucosa. Vitamin A Is A Fat Soluble And Can Therefore Be Overdosed, But Beta-Carotene (Also Called Pro-Vitamin A) Is Water Soluble And Completely Safe, Even In High Quantities. Part Of The Reason For This, Is That The Body Only Converts Beta-Carotene To The Extent It Needs Retinol. If There Is Enough Retinol In The Body, There Is An Automatic Feed Back Regulation Loop That Prevents Further Conversion Occurring. This Regulatory Process Ensures That Even Large Amounts Of Beta-Carotene Cannot Cause Vitamin A Poisoning.

This Is Useful Under The Conditions Where There Is An Abundance Of Free Radicals.
