Abstract in brief

Carotenoids are widespread isoprenoid pigments that efficiently quench singlet oxygen and other reactive oxygen species, acting as antioxidants in the human body.
Their antioxidant activity helps maintain the balance of reactive oxygen species, reducing oxidative stress which is linked to chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular issues, and photosensitivity disorders.
Epidemiological and clinical studies suggest that adequate dietary intake of carotenoids may lower the risk of these diseases by leveraging their unique ability to protect cells from oxidative damage.
