“High Carotenoid Intake Poses Health Risks”

Dietary supplements of beta-carotenoids also contain beta-apocarotenoids that act as antagonists of retinoid or vitamin A signalling. Antagonism of vitamin A signalling pathway by these naturally occurring carotenoids can have negative implications in the functions of dietary beta-carotene or pro-vitamin A. This further creates potential risks of developing cardiovascular disease and cancer. Such health issues have generated needs for specific regulatory guidelines regarding consumptions of specific carotenoids.
