beta-cryptoxanthin
is a class of carotenoid that is found in many fruits and vegetables. Its strong antioxidant properties may be responsible for being excellent at scavenging free radicals in the body and protecting DNA from damage. Studies have shown that beta-cryptoxanthin may potentially help reduce the risk of lung cancer by up to 30%, while also rheumatoid arthritis by up to 41%.
