Can I get enough carotenoids from my diet alone?
If you want the best antioxidant protection for your body, it would be extremely difficult to eat enough fruits and vegetables. GNLD stresses that it is vital that you consume a diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables, but we also know that most of the fruits and vegetables that we do eat, like bananas and potatoes, are not good sources of carotenoids. In addition, the bioavailability of carotenoids in uncooked fruits and vegetables is extremely poor. Raw carrots are only about 5-10% bioavailable in their carotenoid content. In comparison, the carotenoids in Carotenoid Complex are up to 95% bioavailable.
