at least 300 carotenoids per 100g of cold-pressed oil.

creams or oils. At least 150 carotenoids
per 100g of cold-pressed unrefined oil.
3.For internal use at least 150 carotenoids
of cold-pressed unrefined oil.
High quality oil with high content of
carotenoids has hazel color. The more carotenoids are in the oil the darker
color it has.
At 150 -180 it is dark red color and at
300 it is dark brown color.
All oils, having light magenta or
orange color, are not effective and will not help you to solve your problems.
Buy only high quality oil. Pay
attention to quantity of carotenoids and color. If 180 carotenoids are
indicated and not very dark liquid in the bottle it is a deceit.
Pay attention to the color of this
oil. This is the oil containing 300 carotenoids. Here there are 150 carotenoids.
Don’t let be cheated.
