Accelerate weight loss
A new study has found that taking beta carotene supplements can help to accelerate weight loss. The research looked at the effects of beta carotene on a group of overweight and obese adults.
The participants were given either a placebo or a supplement containing beta carotene for 12 weeks. Those who took the beta carotene supplement lost an average of 4.5 kg (9.9 lb) over the course of the study, while those who took the placebo only lost 1.5 kg (3.3 lb).
Beta carotene is a natural substance found in fruits and vegetables, and is also available as a supplement. It is thought to have a range of health benefits, including stimulating metabolism, reducing weight, and preventing diabetes.
