Beta-carotene serves to slow the ongoing buildup of plaque in arteries. Thus blood flow to the heart and brain take place without obstruction. Interactions with proteins increase the production of antibodies. This increases the number of natural killer cells and increase T cell activity and lymphocyte Helpers. An excerpt studies prove beta-carotene consumption 30-60 mg / day for 2 months to make the body can reproduce natural cells exterminator disease.
