Beta Carotene
Beta Carotene is a clinical biomarker on the Nutrients panel, reported in ug/dL. Standard reference range: 3–91 ug/dL. Functional (optimal) range used by integrative practitioners: 34–70 ug/dL.
What is Beta Carotene?
Beta-carotene is a provitamin A carotenoid found in plant foods; it serves as an antioxidant and is converted to retinol (vitamin A) as needed by the body.
Reference ranges
| Range type | Value (ug/dL) | Source |

| Functional (optimal) | 34–70 | Integrative / functional medicine consensus |
How SomaVue interprets Beta Carotene
SomaVue maps every result for Beta Carotene against four clinical lenses — nutrient cofactors, toxin exposure, infection drivers, and circadian/hormonal context — and connects each interpretation to specific peer-reviewed citations. Pre-mapped clinical reasoning and cross-marker pattern detection are available inside the practitioner workspace.
