Exogenous Antioxidants Carotenoids (or carotenes) (or carotenes) and other colorful compounds are abound in the plant kingdom. They are highly pigmented (red, orange, yellow), fat-soluble compounds naturally present in many fruits, grains, oils and vegetables (green plants, carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, spinach, apricots and green peppers). Plants produce these compounds to attract insects for pollination and animals for seed distribution. These compounds also protect the plants from UV light, acting as a natural sunscreen. Carotenoids also play an important role in human health by acting as antioxidants, protecting cells and tissues from the damaging effects of free radicals. Alpha, beta, and gamma carotene are the most popular carotenoids and are considered provitamins because they can be converted to active vitamin A. Lycopene, the hydrocarbon carotenoid that gives tomatoes their red color, is particularly effective in preventing cell damage from dangerous free radicals. Clinical studies have shown that lycopene most notably supports prostate health, but it also maintains heart, eye and skin health. Lutein, zeaxanthin and xanthophylls (or yellow pigments) found in corn and in leafy greens, such as kale and spinach, are believed to function as protective antioxidants in the macular region of the human retina. Zeaxanthin protects the eyes by absorbing destructive blue light and reducing glare. Aside from positively supporting eye health, lutein also plays a key role in maintaining skin and cardiovascular health.
