A member asked:
Is there any difference between synthetic and natural betacarotene?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: Despite the overlap between natural and synthetic forms, natural beta-carotene may possibly have activity that is distinct from the synthetic form. For example, the natural form has antioxidant activity that the synthetic form has been reported to lack in both animals and in people.
