FAQ

Beta-carotene is a natural carotenoid and a precursor of vitamin A. It's found in many fruits and vegetables, such as carrots, pumpkin, and sweet potatoes. For dietary supplements like Betakaroten Gold, beta-carotene is derived from the microalgae Dunaliella salina.
Beta-carotene is partially converted in the body into vitamin A, which contributes to maintaining normal skin and vision.
In addition, beta-carotene is a natural pigment that can accumulate in small amounts in the fat deposits beneath the skin.
This accumulation gradually gives the skin a slightly golden or tanned tint.
It is not a hormone and does not affect melanin production.
The effect is individual. Many report noticing initial changes in skin color after about 3–4 weeks of daily use of beta-carotene capsules.
The intensity depends on skin type, metabolism, and other factors.
Yes. Beta-carotene is absorbed by the body independently of sunlight, so you don't need sun or a tanning bed.
Many use it year-round to maintain an even skin tone, while others start before summer or right before their vacation.
The effect builds up gradually and gives the skin a mild, natural tone.
Betakaroten Gold Original:
6 mg beta-carotene per daily dose (from the microalgae Dunaliella salina).
Suitable for most skin types and provides an even, natural skin tone.
Betakaroten Gold Black:
15 mg beta-carotene per daily dose (from the same natural source).
Ideal for those who want a more intense or faster-developing skin tone, or who naturally have a darker complexion.
Both variants come from the same natural source and contain no synthetic colorants. The difference lies in the dosage (6 mg vs. 15 mg) and the desired intensity of skin tone.
When taken within the recommended daily dose, no adverse effects are known.
Very high amounts over an extended period can cause a yellowish discoloration of the skin.
This is harmless and disappears once intake is stopped or reduced. People who smoke or suffer from certain lung conditions should consult a doctor before taking higher amounts.
Betakaroten is not a substitute for sun protection. Some studies suggest that longer-term intake may help support the skin against light-induced irritation.
However, UV protection through sunscreen products remains necessary.
No. Betakaroten is not a known trigger for acne.
Since it is converted into vitamin A in the body, which supports normal skin function, it is generally well tolerated in moderate amounts.
No. Melanotan is a synthetic hormone and is associated with potential risks.
Beta-carotene is a plant-based pigment and is taken as a dietary supplement in significantly smaller amounts.
