Resumo
Beta carotene and lutein are both carotenoids that share intestinal uptake pathways when taken orally. High-dose supplementation of one can lower the absorption and plasma concentration of the other. The clinical significance is generally small.
O que esta interação significa em palavras simples
Beta carotene and Lutein have a small, usually unimportant interaction. Most people can take both; the pharmacist may still mention it so that any unexpected effect is recognised.
Por que acontece
Competition for incorporation into mixed micelles and for intestinal uptake transporters reduces carotenoid absorption.
