Beta-carotene is a toxic, fat soluble substance that should not be supplemented. It turns into two retinaldehyde molecules in the body, which converts to the fat soluble alcohol retinol (vitamin A), which many individuals already have too much of.

This is doubly true if you are a smoker - do not take beta-carotene if you smoke!
