Beta Carotene is best says RealAge® and Biotrex™ Vitamins by Larry Richards

"Make sure you don't go overboard with vitamin A. It could be bad for your bones. A recent animal study revealed that too much vitamin A may increase the risk of bone thinning. To protect yourself from the risks of vitamin A toxicity, choose a supplement that contains vitamin A in the form of beta carotene, a nutrient that the body converts to vitamin A only as needed.

RealAge Benefit: Eating a diverse diet that is low in calories and high in nutrients can make your RealAge as much as 4 years younger.

Vitamin A is essential for healthy vision and aids in immune system function. However, the risk of toxicity from vitamin A supplements is high. Avoid taking large doses of vitamin A (no more than 8,000 IU per day). Instead, rely on vitamins C and E for extra antioxidant protection. Also, choose foods that are rich in the precursor to vitamin A -- beta carotene. Foods rich in beta carotene include apricots, peaches, cantaloupe, nectarines, and sweet potatoes."
