The bananas were developed by taking genes from a species of banana from Papua New Guinea, which is high in
provitamin A but produces only small bunches, and combining it with a Cavendish banana, the high-yielding common banana species.
After ingestion, four units of
provitamin A carotenoids are converted to one unit of absorbed retinol (2); bioavailability, therefore, is 25% (Term D).
Pathenol is a natural hydrating form of VitaminB, a nontoxic
provitamin with remarkable absorption properties rendering it an excellent moisturiser and emollient.
Editor's Note: "These results suggest carotenoids may inhibit tumor initiation, which is compatible with hypothesized mechanisms, including the conversion of
provitamin A carotenoids to retinol, which regulates cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis, and the antioxidant capacity to scavenge reactive oxygen species and prevent DNA damage," stated authors Heather Eliassen of Harvard University and colleagues.
