Beta-carotene (Provitamin A) is A class of carotenoid compounds that are naturally occurring precursors of vitamin A. Beta-carotene is a ROS regulator with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. β -carotene can be either an antioxidant or a pro-oxidant, depending on its intrinsic properties and the REDOX potential of the biological environment it acts on. β -carotene can induce apoptosis of breast cancer cells and has anti-cancer activity.

| Casein (from bovine milk)
Casein is a phosphorus-containing complex protein with α-casein and β-casein as its main components. Casein is an orally active phosphoprotein that can be separated into various electrophoretic components, such as α2-Casein, κ-Casein, β-casein, and γ-casein. Casein can be used in biochemical research, to formulate biological culture media, and as a thickener, emulsifier and stabiliser. |
