Popular questions
What is beta carotene?
Beta‑carotene (E160a) is an orange plant pigment used as a food color and provitamin A; humans can convert it into vitamin A as needed.
Does beta carotene make you tan?
High intakes can cause a yellow‑orange skin tint (carotenodermia), especially on palms and soles, but this is not a true melanin tan and offers no UV protection.
Is beta carotene bad for you?
It’s generally safe at normal dietary and additive levels; very high supplemental doses can discolor skin and have been linked to increased lung cancer risk in smokers and asbestos‑exposed people.
What foods have beta carotene?
Carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkin/squash, dark leafy greens (spinach, kale), cantaloupe, apricots, and mangoes are rich sources; it’s also present in red palm oil and used to color or fortify various foods.
Is beta carotene vitamin a?
No—it's a provitamin A that the body converts to vitamin A (retinol); conversion varies by individual and diet (e.g., fat intake).
100mg of b2 = how much riboflavin 5 phosphate?
About 121 mg of riboflavin‑5′‑phosphate (free acid) or ~127 mg of the sodium salt provides 100 mg of riboflavin activity; conversely, 100 mg of the sodium salt contains ~79 mg of riboflavin.
How does the body make riboflavin 5 phosphate?
Cells use riboflavin kinase (flavokinase) to phosphorylate dietary riboflavin with ATP to form riboflavin‑5′‑phosphate (FMN), which can then be converted to FAD by FAD synthetase.
Riboflavin 5 phosphate 50mg/ml how to use?
A 50 mg/mL riboflavin‑5′‑phosphate solution is typically a medicinal preparation (often for injection) and should be used only as directed on the product label or by a healthcare professional. For food coloring (E101ii), it is added by manufacturers according to good manufacturing practice and applicable regulatory limits, not for direct consumer dosing.
