CarotenALL (Jarrow) Each bottle, 60 capsules, consisting of a wide range of carotenoid compounds including alpha and beta carotene, lutein, lycopene, etc., derived from natural vegetable sources including broccoli, spinach, tomato, etc.
A 2006 study in Canada among people with HIV showed an improved survival among those using a high dose of beta carotene compared to those using a multi alone (Eur J Clin Nutr, 2006;60:1266-1276). One slightly confusing repetition is that they used a "mixed carotenoid complex that was the equivalent of 72 mg (or 120,000 IU) of beta carotene.
The sources of carotenoids include three distinct forms of sea algae, palm oil, tomatoes, marigolds, amongst others. Many of the carotenoid forms are patented. The amounts of both lutein and lycopene are identical to amounts used successfully in research studies. Astaxanthin is considered by some to be the most potent carotenoid currently researched. It is supplied in its correct natural form derived from Hawaiian sea microalgae at a 2 mg dose. There are also substantial amounts of other patented natural mixed carotenoids. Finally, we have included 5 mg of sulforaphane, not a carotenoid, but an extremely potent stimulator of the Phase II detoxification system as well as an initiator of several other antioxidant enzymes, making it one of the most potent free-radical neutralizers yet studied. New varieties of carotenoids are constantly being discovered, so this should NOT replace a diet rich in colorful foods, but to supplement your diet. Eat your fruits and vegetables--and lots of them!
This is the closest we could come and looks every bit as good as the NYBC formula.
