Carrots Are Healthy, but Need An Active Enzyme To Unlock Full Potential

Carrots are a great source of vitamin A which is derived effectively from the rich source beta-carotene contained in them. However, a new study has now revealed that to get full benefits of this so-called super-food, there is a need for an active enzyme to yield this vitamin.
Beta-carotene is a bioactive compound that provides carrots their orange colour. Previous studies in mice and humans have found that the conversion of beta-carotene to vitamin A lowers bad cholesterol in the blood. It is, therefore, believed that beta-carotene is able to protect us from atherosclerosis development which results from fat and cholesterol accumulation in our arteries.
