HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Carotene Formula by Beyond Health

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 6 of its 6 active ingredients.
  • “Unsaturated Fat” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (224.07 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “Betatene” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (25,000 IU) without saying how much of each component you get.

Carotene Formula contains 6 active ingredients, all carotenoids (plant pigments with antioxidant properties). The main ones are lutein, zeaxanthin, and alpha-carotene — compounds your body uses to support eye and overall health.

The formula also includes cryptoxanthin and a blend called Betatene, which delivers beta-carotene and other carotenoid components. These are delivered in a softgel capsule with soybean oil and other inactive ingredients (bovine gelatin, glycerin, beeswax, soy lecithin, vitamin E, and purified water) that help your body absorb the carotenoids.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports its ingredients for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) — rated "Possibly Effective" (Lutein) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Cataracts — rated "Possibly Effective" (Lutein) (Natural Medicines).

Lutein and zeaxanthin are both rated possibly effective for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), an eye condition that can cause vision loss as you age. Lutein is also rated possibly effective for cataracts.

For other conditions — including Alzheimer's disease, asthma, breast cancer, and several others — the evidence for these ingredients is too thin to rate, or research suggests they may not work (such as for retinitis pigmentosa and retinopathy of prematurity). The data we hold doesn't establish effectiveness for other claimed uses.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Vitamin A Zeaxanthin Lutein

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Lutein and zeaxanthin are generally well tolerated at typical supplement doses. No adverse effects were documented in trials of lutein up to 20 mg daily.

For pregnancy, both ingredients are rated likely safe, though the facts note that safety data on supplement doses (rather than food amounts) in pregnancy isn't well studied, so caution is advised — talk with your doctor about whether to take this while pregnant. Similarly, for breastfeeding, food sources are fine, but there isn't enough data on concentrated supplements, so check with your doctor or pharmacist before use.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Zeaxanthin.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 86 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

The main medication type to double-check is antidiabetes drugs (blood sugar medications). Zeaxanthin in this formula may theoretically increase the risk of low blood sugar when combined with these drugs.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This formula is a reasonable choice if you're looking to support eye health, especially for AMD or cataracts, though results depend on the strength of evidence for those conditions. If you take antidiabetes medications, you'll want to check your exact drugs with your pharmacist before starting, since zeaxanthin may affect blood sugar control.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? Talk it over with your doctor first — there's enough caution in the data that you'll want personalized advice.

Betatene4 drug types · 387 drugs

Retinoids

Concomitant use of retinoids with vitamin A supplements might produce supratherapeutic vitamin A levels.
Retinoids, which are vitamin A derivatives, could have additive toxic effects when taken with vitamin A supplements.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Hepatotoxic Drugs

Theoretically, taking high doses of vitamin A in combination with other potentially hepatotoxic drugs might increase the risk of liver disease.
The tolerable upper intake level (UL) is the highest level of intake that is likely to pose no risk of adverse effects. Doses of vitamin A above the UL can cause hepatotoxicity, ranging from elevated liver enzymes to liver failure.

Likelihood Possible Evidence C
Tetracycline Antibiotics

Theoretically, taking tetracycline antibiotics with high doses of vitamin A can increase the risk of pseudotumor cerebri.
Benign intracranial hypertension (pseudotumor cerebri) can occur with tetracyclines and with acute or chronic vitamin A toxicity. Case reports suggest that taking tetracyclines and vitamin A concurrently can increase the risk of this condition. Avoid high doses of vitamin A in people taking tetracyclines chronically.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, high doses of vitamin A could increase the risk of bleeding with warfarin.
Vitamin A toxicity is associated with hemorrhage and hypoprothrombinemia, possibly due to vitamin K antagonism. Advise patients taking warfarin to avoid doses of vitamin A above the tolerable upper intake level of 10,000 IU/day for adults.

Carotene Formula by Beyond Health: Common Questions

Does Carotene Formula by Beyond Health interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Carotene Formula has a known interaction with 459 medications, including 9 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Carotene Formula contains 4 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Will this help my eye health?
Lutein and zeaxanthin, both in this formula, are rated possibly effective for age-related macular degeneration and cataracts — common eye conditions that develop with age. For other eye or health conditions, the evidence isn't established in our data.
Is it safe to take while pregnant?
Both lutein and zeaxanthin are rated likely safe in pregnancy, but the data notes that safety of supplement doses (not just food sources) isn't well studied. Talk with your doctor before starting — they can weigh the benefits and risks for your situation.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
Both ingredients are rated likely safe, and lutein naturally appears in breast milk. However, safety of higher supplement doses during breastfeeding isn't well studied, so check with your doctor or pharmacist before use.
What are all these carotenoids for?
Carotenoids are plant pigments your body uses for eye health and antioxidant protection. This formula includes lutein, zeaxanthin, alpha-carotene, and cryptoxanthin — all work together to support vision and cellular health.
I take a blood sugar medication. Can I use this?
Zeaxanthin in this formula may theoretically increase the risk of low blood sugar with antidiabetes drugs. Use the search tool on this page to check your exact medication, and talk with your pharmacist before starting.
What are the inactive ingredients?
The softgel capsule contains soybean oil, bovine gelatin, glycerin, purified water, yellow beeswax, soy lecithin, and vitamin E — these help absorb and deliver the active carotenoids.
