Abstract
Carotenoids belong to a group of compounds characterized by a general ability to protect the body against many serious diseases, such as impaired growth of children, the occurrence of many types of cancer, eye damage. Protective effect of carotenoids is associated mainly with the ability to scavenger free radicals and reactive oxygen species. These compounds are common in many plants, which are components of daily diet. Due to lack of synthesis of the resulting cycle of those compounds in animals, these substances are extremely important for the proper functioning of the body. Only consume large amount of plant in our daily diet can help protect the body against many irreversible consequences of disease.
