What Is Green World Beta-Carotene & Lycopene Capsule Used For?
Green World Beta-Carotene & Lycopene Capsule is a carotenoid food supplement used to provide everyday antioxidant support. Each 500mg capsule combines carrot powder, beta-carotene and lycopene to help support healthy vision, skin and general wellness in adults whose diet may be low in colourful fruits and vegetables.
What sets this formula apart from a single-nutrient product is its pairing of two complementary carotenoids in one capsule. Beta-carotene is a pro-vitamin A carotenoid that the body can convert into vitamin A as needed, while lycopene is a deeply coloured antioxidant carotenoid most associated with tomatoes and red fruits. Together they offer broader carotenoid coverage than a basic vitamin tablet.
The capsule is produced by Nanjing Baoshengyuan Food Co., Ltd and endorsed by New Green World Inc., USA — a brand widely recognised across Nigeria and internationally for its herbal and nutritional range. It carries a NAFDAC registration number (A7-1796L), which gives Nigerian buyers an added layer of confidence at the point of purchase.
What Type of Supplement Is This?
This is a carotenoid-based antioxidant supplement in capsule form. It belongs to the eye, skin and general antioxidant support category rather than the medicine category. The active carotenoids are beta-carotene (a plant-derived pro-vitamin A compound) and lycopene, supported by carrot powder as a natural carotenoid-rich base ingredient.
Both beta-carotene and lycopene are naturally occurring, plant-sourced carotenoids — the same family of pigments that give carrots, tomatoes, peppers and other colourful produce their orange and red colours. For adults who do not regularly eat a wide range of these vegetables, a daily carotenoid capsule can be a practical way to top up dietary intake.
This is a dietary supplement, not a medicine. It is intended to support general health and wellbeing, not to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
How Do Beta-Carotene and Lycopene Support the Body?
Beta-carotene and lycopene support the body in two complementary ways. Beta-carotene acts as a source of vitamin A, which contributes to normal vision and the maintenance of healthy skin and mucous membranes. Lycopene works mainly as an antioxidant, helping to neutralise free radicals that the body produces through normal daily activity.
Beta-carotene is known as a pro-vitamin A carotenoid because the body converts it into vitamin A only when it is needed. Vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of normal vision (including in low light), helps keep skin and epithelial tissues healthy, and supports normal immune function.
Lycopene is a fat-soluble antioxidant carotenoid. Antioxidants help protect cells from oxidative stress — a natural process that can increase with ageing, sun exposure, pollution and lifestyle factors. A steady intake of dietary antioxidants is widely associated with supporting long-term cellular and cardiovascular wellness as part of a healthy lifestyle.

What Are the Key Benefits of Beta-Carotene & Lycopene Capsule?
The key benefits of this capsule centre on antioxidant, eye and skin support for adults. It supplies two plant carotenoids in convenient daily form, making it useful for people who want consistent nutritional support but do not always eat enough colourful fruit and vegetables. The main benefits are summarised below.
- Supports healthy vision by supplying beta-carotene, a natural source of vitamin A
- Helps maintain healthy skin and epithelial tissues, including the eyes and mucous membranes
- Contributes to antioxidant protection by helping to neutralise free radicals from everyday oxidative stress
- Supports healthy ageing by contributing to cellular protection as part of a balanced lifestyle
- Supports cardiovascular wellness when used alongside a heart-friendly diet and routine
- Supports adult nutritional intake of carotenoids when dietary intake of colourful produce is low
- May support men’s wellness routines, as lycopene is a carotenoid commonly included in male antioxidant routines
What Are the Key Ingredients in This Capsule?
The key ingredients are carrot powder, beta-carotene and lycopene, exactly as listed on the product label. Each plays a distinct role: carrot powder provides a natural carotenoid-rich base, beta-carotene supplies pro-vitamin A, and lycopene adds dedicated antioxidant support. Together they form a focused two-carotenoid formula.
Carrot Powder
Carrot powder is a whole-food base derived from dried carrots, naturally rich in carotenoids including beta-carotene. It provides a recognisable, plant-based foundation for the formula and reflects the same nutrients found in fresh carrots.
Beta-Carotene (β-Carotene)
Beta-carotene is a pro-vitamin A carotenoid the body converts into vitamin A on demand. It supports normal vision, helps maintain healthy skin and epithelial tissue, and contributes to normal immune function. Because the body converts only what it needs, it is a widely used dietary source of vitamin A activity.
Lycopene
Lycopene is a red carotenoid found naturally in tomatoes and red fruits. It is valued mainly for its antioxidant properties, helping to protect cells from oxidative stress. It complements beta-carotene by broadening the formula’s overall carotenoid and antioxidant profile.

How Do You Take Beta-Carotene & Lycopene Capsule?
Take 2 capsules twice daily, as directed on the label, preferably with meals. Carotenoids such as beta-carotene and lycopene are fat-soluble, so taking them with food that contains some healthy fat helps absorption. Swallow each dose with a full glass of water and do not exceed the recommended amount.
- Adults: 2 capsules per serving, twice daily (4 capsules per day)
- Take with meals containing some healthy fat — for example olive oil, nuts, avocado or fish — for better absorption
- Swallow with a full glass of water
- Take consistently each day for ongoing nutritional support
- Do not exceed the recommended dosage unless advised by a healthcare professional
How Do You Get the Best Results From This Supplement?
For best results, take this capsule consistently every day for at least 30 to 90 days alongside a balanced diet. Carotenoids work as part of overall nutrition rather than as a quick fix, so steady daily use matters more than occasional high doses. Pair it with good hydration, sleep and a colourful diet.
- Use consistently for a minimum of 30–90 days for nutritional support to build up
- Eat a varied, colourful diet rich in fruit and vegetables to complement the supplement
- Stay well hydrated and maintain a regular sleep routine
- Pair with other antioxidant or eye-support products as part of a wider routine where appropriate — for example Green World Vitamin E Capsules or Natures Field CoQ10
Results vary between individuals. Supplements are intended to support a healthy diet and lifestyle, not to replace them.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of beta-carotene capsules?
Beta-carotene capsules supply a plant source of vitamin A activity, which supports normal vision and helps maintain healthy skin and tissues. As a carotenoid, beta-carotene also contributes to antioxidant protection against everyday oxidative stress. In this product it is paired with lycopene for broader carotenoid support.
What happens if I take beta-carotene every day?
Many adults take beta-carotene daily as part of a wellness routine, following the label direction of 2 capsules twice daily. Very high intake over long periods can sometimes cause a harmless yellow-orange skin tone, which fades when intake is reduced. Current or former smokers should consult a healthcare professional first.
What are the benefits of taking beta-carotene and lycopene together?
Taken together, beta-carotene provides vitamin A activity for eye and skin support, while lycopene adds dedicated antioxidant support. Combining two carotenoids in one capsule gives broader coverage than a single-nutrient product, which is why this pairing is popular for eye, skin and healthy-ageing routines.
How long does it take for beta-carotene to work?
Beta-carotene works as part of your overall nutrition rather than producing an immediate effect, so it is best taken consistently for at least 30 to 90 days alongside a balanced diet. Nutritional support builds up gradually with regular use. Results vary between individuals.
Should I take this capsule with food?
Yes. Beta-carotene and lycopene are fat-soluble carotenoids, so they are better absorbed when taken with a meal that contains some healthy fat, such as olive oil, nuts, avocado or fish. Take 2 capsules with food, twice daily, with a full glass of water.
Is this product only for men?
No. This capsule is suitable for adults of any gender who want eye, skin and general antioxidant support. While lycopene is sometimes included in men’s wellness routines, this is primarily an antioxidant, eye and skin support supplement, and it is equally relevant for women and older adults focused on healthy ageing.
Where can I buy Beta-Carotene & Lycopene Capsule in Nigeria?
You can buy it online from Recs-Medix for nationwide delivery, or visit our physical stores in Lagos, Abuja and Jos to verify the product before purchase. Every bottle is sourced directly from authorised distributors and carries the NAFDAC number A7-1796L.
