FAQs

What does this test measure?

This test measures the level of β-Carotene in the blood, a key antioxidant that the body converts into vitamin A to support vision, skin health, and immunity.

Who should take this test?

It is recommended for individuals with a poor diet, vision problems, skin concerns, or suspected vitamin A deficiency.

How is the test performed?

A venous blood sample is collected and analysed in a laboratory to determine β-Carotene levels.

What causes low β-Carotene levels?

Deficiency may result from inadequate fruit and vegetable intake, malabsorption disorders, liver problems, or chronic illness.

Can levels be improved?

Yes, eating more β-Carotene–rich foods such as carrots, sweet potatoes, leafy greens, and other colourful vegetables, or using supplements if needed, can restore healthy levels.
