What do beta-carotene and vitamin e have in common?

Both vitamin E and beta-carotene act as antioxidants.

A biological antioxidant is a substance that removes potentially harmful oxidizing agents from the body. Beta carotene is a strongly orange colored pigment, which is found abundantly in carrots. Vitamin E is found in foods such as avocados.

Both of these chemicals are essential for the health of the eyes, heart and other components of the body.
