| Q: |
I am a smoker/I used to smoke, can I take ICaps®?
ICaps® contains beta-carotene. Recent studies on high levels of betacarotene intake (20-30mg) concluded a potential link between this substance and increased risk of developing cancer. For this reason smokers are not encouraged to take high levels of beta-carotene.
However levels of beta-carotene present in the daily dose of ICaps® are much lower (only 4mg per daily dose) than those studied and below the Food Standard Agency recommendation of not taking more than 7mg per day so, therefore, are considered to be within safe limits. If in any doubt, consult a medical practitioner before starting to take ICaps®
