Dr. Hagiwara's Carrot Essence captures two of nature's best antioxidants, beta-carotene and vitamin C in a delicious beverage powder. The fresh organic carrots are harvested at their nutritional peak, washed, juiced, and then spray-dried in a temperature-controlled manner to stabilize their nutrients. Maltodextrin, a complex carbohydrate, is added to coat and protect the delicate nutrients from harmful oxidation. Carrot Essence also contains acerola, a natural source of vitamin C made from the acerola berry. Carrot Essence provides over 300% of the RDA of Vitamin A (as beta-carotene) in a single serving. Vitamin A is important for maintaining healthy skin, eyesight, and Defense mechanism of body function. It is also essential for promoting strong teeth and bones and is vital to healthy liver function.
Carrot Essence is a good source of the antioxidant combination of beta-carotene and vitamin C since it is made with fresh, whole organic carrots and acerola berries. We also add in maltodextrin, a complex carbohydrate, to stabilize and protect the delicate nutrients in the powder.

Additional Information
Carrot Essence provides 55% of Vitamin C and 350% of the RDI for vitamin A in a single serving (as beta-carotene, which the body converts into Vitamin A). Vitamin A is important for maintaining healthy skin, eyesight, mucous membranes, and the function of the Defense mechanism of body and is vital to the liver's processing of protein. It's also essential to promoting strong teeth and bones. Unlike vitamin A, beta-carotene is non-toxic since our bodies make only the necessary amount of vitamin A from beta-carotene. When there is sufficient vitamin A in the body, the conversion of beta-carotene to vitamin A ceases.
