Résumé
Chronic heavy alcohol intake lowers beta carotene levels in the body and may impair its conversion to vitamin A. In smokers or heavy drinkers, high-dose beta carotene supplementation with alcohol has been linked to liver injury and increased lung cancer risk.
Ce que signifie cette interaction, en termes simples
Beta carotene and Ethanol can affect each other. The combination is often manageable, but it may need a change of dose, a change of timing, or extra checks while both are taken.
Pourquoi elle survient
Alcohol impairs carotenoid absorption and storage and alters hepatic metabolism, with possible increased pro-oxidant toxicity of beta carotene.
