 Carrot Essence - Original Dr. Hagiwara's Beta Carrot
 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 immune system   function. It is also essential for promoting strong teeth and bones and is vital   to healthy liver function.

 What is Carrot Essence?
 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.
 
 Why Do We Need Carrot Essence?
 After over 30 years of   scientific research, the medical community and nutrition experts all agree that   antioxidants, especially beta-carotene and vitamin C, play important roles in   keeping us healthy. One important way these nutrients help us is by neutralizing   free radicals before they can cause serious damage to our tissues.
 
 How Is   Carrot Essence Made?
 Organically certified, the fresh carrots in Carrot   Essence are harvested at their nutritional peak, then washed, and juiced. As   with our other supplements, the concentrated juice is spray-dried at low   temperatures to protect the nutrients.
 
 Maltodextrin, a complex   carbohydrate, is added to Carrot Essence (to coat and protect the nutrients from   harmful oxidation) along with Acerola, a high quality natural antioxidant powder   made from the Acerola berry, which is one of the most potent sources of natural   vitamin C. Carrot Essence contains no added sugar, salt, colorings or fillers,   and is free of animal products, soy, wheat, and yeast.
 
 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 immune system 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.
