Anthocyanins are phytonutrients that may act as an antioxidant and protect the body against damaging free radicals.

Lycopenes are phytochemicals that act as an antioxidant and may protect against prostate cancer.

Beta carotene is a pre-vitamin that may act as an antioxidant in the body. The body converts beta carotene to vitamin A in the body as it needs it to assist with reproduction, cell differentiation and vision. Obtaining vitamin A from beta carotene instead of with a vitamin A supplement can have advantages: vitamin A is a fat soluble vitamin that is stored in the body if it's taken in excess and could cause side effects if the level is too high. Additionally, beta carotene that is not converted to vitamin A is utilized by the body as an antioxidant.
