β-Carotene is a precursor of Vitamin A, which is essential for many physiological functions concerning vision, the development of epithelial membranes, fertility, embryonic development and the immune system. Independent from its role as pro-Vitamin A, β-Carotene has an important impact on fertility, amongst others by stimulation of progesterone synthesis. Additionally, β-Carotene acts as an antioxidant, protecting the embryo from oxidative damage by free radicals.
