BioActive TanCare contains a big dose of pure beta-carotene. BioActive TanCare is manufactured in a way where betacarotene is mixed into an oil matrix that keeps it stable and increases bio-availability.

In fact, studies document that betacarotene in supplemental form has better bio-availability than the betacarotene found in fruits and vegetables.

Betacarotene is a carotenoid. The carotenoids are divided into two main groups: carotenes and xanthophylls. Carotenes consists of hydrogen and carbon, while xanthophylls additionally contain oxygen atoms. Betacarotene belongs to a group of yellow and red plant dyes. It is betacarotene which gives carrots their orange colour. Betacarotene is fat soluble, ie. is best absorbed along with a fat. This takes place in the upper part of the small intestine. Betacarotene is also a provitamin, as it can be converted to vitamin A when the body is in need.
