Beta carotene interactions

Interactions with other nutrients

The conversion of beta carotene to vitamin A depends on vitamin C, zinc and thyroid hormones. The function of beta carotene is enhanced by the levels of the other antioxidants, vitamin C, vitamin E and selenium. Large doses of beta carotene may increase the requirements for vitamin E. Beta carotene improves iron absorption.

Interactions with drugs

Oral contraceptive use may decrease beta carotene levels. Drinking large amounts of alcohol and smoking lowers blood levels of carotenoids.
