At the end they get accustomed to eating more meat and less vegetables, leading to nutritional imbalance. Worsening this situation is the deteriorating quality of today's vegetables with declining nutritional values.
For these reasons, taking nutritional supplements as a way to complement our daily nutritional requirements has become a gladly accepted way of life.
What are carotenoids?
They include the pigment composition of vegetables and fruits.
Carotenoids contain bright colors such as yellow ,red and orange. It is a necessary element for the enhancement of photosynthesis in plants, and can counteract the oxidation pressure triggered by ultraviolet rays. Hundreds of plant carotenoids have been identified, of which around 50 are present in edible vegetables and fruits. After the body absorbs the carotenoids, active oxygen* is produce from its anti-oxidation effects, providing protection to cells.
~ Active oxygen is produced in the body and can destroy bacteria invasion. But too much active oxygen may also destroy normal cells : Human Body really needs "carotenoids"

Eat all sorts of bright colored vegetables.
As carotenoids has red and orange color elements, eating different bright
colored vegetables can give you sufficient carotenoids. Yet although people
nowadays are aware of this, their busy lifestyles make it quite difficult for
them to put into practice. For this reason, taking nutritional supplements is a
feasible method for absorbing carotenoids.
Why are carotenoids the focus of attention?
Because it is The Seventh Nutrient ~ One of the
"Phytochemical"
In the past, people only focus on five types of nutrients - protein,
carbohydrates, fat, vitamins and minerals; later, food fiber was included as
the sixth nutrient, In recent years as research in active oxygen* progresses,
phytochemicals have become the focus and is now regarded as the seventh
nutrient.
Carotenoid is the key representative of phytochemicals and
cannot be produced by the body, Those interested in a balanced diet should pay
more attention to carotenoids.
Basic knowledge of "Phytochemical"
In the word "Phytochemical" , "phyto" means "plants". "Phyto" refer to the nutrients originating from plants.
From the carotenoids in carrots and spinach to the polyphenols in tea and table wine, anthocyanidins in blueberries, lycopene in tomatoes and isoflavones in soybeans, there are now thousands of known phytochemicals.
