About this product
What is NeoLife Carotenoid Complex?
A whole-food carotenoid supplement: an oil-based capsule carrying a blend of carotenoids extracted from five plants — carrot, paprika, tomato, spinach and marigold — with an added fruit blend and vitamin E. It is 90 capsules, taken one to three a day.
It provides several carotenoids together — beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, lycopene and lutein — rather than a single isolate.
What is in each capsule
From the UK nutrition information on the pack. The recommended intake is a range — one to three capsules — so both columns are shown.
| Amount | Per 1 capsule | Per 3 capsules |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin E | 6 mg α-TE (50% NRV)1 | 18 mg α-TE (150% NRV)1 |
| Beta-carotene | 1.5 mg1 | 4.5 mg1 |
| Alpha-carotene | 0.56 mg1 | 1.68 mg1 |
| Lycopene | 0.35 mg1 | 1.05 mg1 |
| Lutein | 0.14 mg1 | 0.42 mg1 |
The carotenoids are delivered as plant oleoresins — concentrated oil extracts. Per capsule, NeoLife states the extracts are made from approximately 13 g of carrot, 10.5 g of tomato and 4.8 g of spinach.1
What we can and cannot claim
This is worth being straight about. Carotenoids — beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein — carry no authorised health claims in Great Britain. So we cannot tell you they do anything for your eyes, your skin or anything else, and you should be sceptical of any seller who does.
The one authorised claim that applies to this product is for its vitamin E: vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. At 6 mg (50% NRV) per capsule, and 150% NRV at three capsules, it meets the threshold at which that claim may be used. Nothing else on this page is a health claim, and nothing is intended to diagnose, prevent, treat or cure any condition.1
Why a blend rather than one carotenoid
Most carotenoid supplements isolate one — usually beta-carotene, sometimes lutein. Fruit and vegetables never contain just one; they contain a spectrum. Carotenoid Complex is built to mirror that, drawing beta- and alpha-carotene, lycopene and lutein from different plants. Whether the spectrum matters more than an isolate is not something we can claim a benefit for — but it is the honest reason to choose a blend, and the label states exactly which carotenoids and how much of each.
How to take it
One to three capsules a day, with a meal — carotenoids and vitamin E are fat-soluble, so taking them with food that contains some fat aids absorption. Do not exceed three a day. Store somewhere cool and dry, out of reach of children.
At one capsule a day the 90-capsule bottle lasts three months — about 75p a day; at three a day it is one month, about £2.25 a day. Choose the intake to suit how much of your carotenoid intake you want to come from a supplement versus your diet.
Allergens and suitability
Contains soya (soya lecithin). The capsule shell is gelatine, so it is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. No other allergens are declared. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking prescribed medication or under medical care, speak to your GP or pharmacist before starting any new supplement — and note that high-dose isolated beta-carotene has specific cautions for smokers, though this is a low-dose whole-food blend rather than a high-dose isolate.
Full ingredients
Gelatine, carotenoid blend (carrot oleoresin (Daucus carota, root), paprika oleoresin (Capsicum annuum, fruit), tomato oleoresin (Lycopersicon esculentum, fruit), spinach oleoresin (Spinacia oleracea, leaf), marigold extract (Tagetes erecta, flower) and sunflower oil (Helianthus annuus)), olive oil (Olea europaea), humectant: glycerine; fruit blend (strawberry powder, apricot powder, peach powder), stabiliser: yellow beeswax; emulsifier: soy lecithin, vitamin E (D-alpha-tocopherol, sunflower oil), colour: iron oxides and hydroxides.
What to compare when buying a carotenoid supplement
| What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Blend or single carotenoid | Many products isolate beta-carotene. This is a five-plant blend of beta- and alpha-carotene, lycopene and lutein. Neither is “better” — they are different. |
| Whole-food or synthetic | Beta-carotene can be synthetic or plant-derived. These carotenoids are extracted from named fruit and vegetables. |
| Dose of isolated beta-carotene | High-dose isolated beta-carotene has cautions, especially for smokers. This is a low-dose whole-food blend. |
| Health claims on the page | Carotenoids have no authorised GB health claims. A seller claiming eye or skin benefits for them is overstating it. |
| Cost per day at your intake | This ranges from about 75p a day at one capsule to £2.25 at three. Decide the intake first, then compare. |

Common questions
Including the one most people are too polite to ask.
What is in NeoLife Carotenoid Complex?
A whole-food blend of four carotenoids — beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, lycopene and lutein — extracted from carrot, paprika, tomato, spinach and marigold, plus a strawberry, apricot and peach fruit blend and added vitamin E. 90 capsules.
How much of each carotenoid does it provide?
Per capsule: beta-carotene 1.5 mg, alpha-carotene 0.56 mg, lycopene 0.35 mg, lutein 0.14 mg, plus vitamin E 6 mg (50% NRV). At three capsules those triple, and vitamin E reaches 18 mg, 150% NRV.
What health benefits does it have?
Carotenoids — beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein — carry no authorised health claims in Great Britain, so we make none. The one authorised claim that applies is for its vitamin E: vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
How many capsules should I take, and how long does a bottle last?
One to three a day with a meal. At one a day the 90-capsule bottle lasts three months (about 75p a day); at three a day it lasts one month (about £2.25 a day). Net weight 86 g, product code 566.
Is it suitable for vegetarians, and does it contain allergens?
No — the capsule shell is gelatine, so it is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. It contains soya (soya lecithin); no other allergens are declared.
Is this the same beta-carotene that has warnings for smokers?
The cautions apply to high-dose isolated beta-carotene. This is a low-dose whole-food blend (1.5 mg beta-carotene per capsule) rather than a high-dose isolate. If you smoke and are unsure, check with your GP or pharmacist.
Where is it made?
Distributed in the UK by NeoLife International Ltd in Birmingham. Not sold in retail shops — only through NeoLife distributors.
Why does this cost more than a supermarket version?
Because it is a different product sold a different way, and because we are not trying to be the cheapest. NeoLife products reach you through independent distributors rather than a supermarket shelf, which is a more expensive route. What we will not tell you is that a cheaper alternative does nothing. We could not prove that, so we do not say it. If price is the deciding factor, buy the cheaper one — that is a perfectly sensible thing to do. For what it is worth, this pack (90 capsules) works out at £0.75 each.
How much is delivery, and where do you ship?
UK delivery is a flat £10.00, and it is free — with a free NeoLife Shaker — on orders over £150. We ship within the United Kingdom only. Orders are dispatched from the UK by DPD and usually arrive in about three working days; if anything is delayed we will email you rather than leave you wondering.
What if I change my mind?
You have 14 days from delivery to tell us you want to cancel, for any reason, and a further 14 days to send the item back. Sealed items such as food supplements and cosmetics can only be returned for a change of mind if the seal is unbroken. Email us first and we will tell you where to send it; we refund within 14 days of receiving it back. If something arrived faulty, damaged or wrong, that is on us — we will replace or refund it, including the postage.
Is this genuine NeoLife stock?
Yes. We are an official NeoLife distributor and everything on this site comes through NeoLife’s own supply chain — not a marketplace reseller, and not parallel imports.
Will this work for me?
We genuinely cannot tell you that, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. Food supplements are not medicines and nothing on this site is medical advice. They are also not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. If you take prescribed medication, or something about your health is worrying you, speak to your GP or pharmacist before adding anything new.
