Are there pesticides in Carotenoid Complex?
There are no pesticides in any of our products, including Carotenoid Complex. Our stringent Quality Control procedures guarantee that our products are pesticide-and contamination-free. Our testing protocols follow the American Organization of Analytical Chemists. The pesticide screen is conducted routinely by outside laboratories to confirm that our products are pesticide-free. Some people may be concerned about the amount of provitamin A that is in Carotenoid Complex because of the toxicity issue surrounding vitamin A. Can we assure these people this does not apply to provitamin A? GNLD’s Carotenoid Complex provides a variety of carotenoid “family members” as they naturally occur in human food chain fruits and vegetables. Not all of these carotenoids provide provitamin A activity. However, there is no need to fear those that do, as provitamin A is only a precursor to vitamin A, and not vitamin A itself. This means that provitamin A is converted by the body to vitamin A only as needed.
