• Identifying vitamin deficiency: Beta-carotene is a primary source of vitamin A
• Assessing nutritional status: To determine if the diet contains sufficient carotenoids
• Monitoring certain health conditions: Such as malabsorption disorders, where nutrient absorption may be impaired
• Estimating health risks: Low beta-carotene levels may be associated with health issues, such as weakened immunity or vision problems

• Individuals with vitamin deficiencies: especially those showing symptoms of vitamin A deficiency
• Patients with fat absorption disorders: such as Crohn’s disease or celiac disease
• People following strict diets: such as vegetarians or those not consuming enough fruits and vegetables
• Individuals with chronic health issues: such as diabetes or heart disease, to monitor nutritional impact on their health
• People exposed to oxidative stress: such as smokers or those exposed to environmental pollution

• Night vision weakness: difficulty seeing in low light conditions
• Dry eyes: feeling of dryness or irritation in the eyes
• Skin changes: such as dry skin or abnormal spots
• Loss of appetite: or changes in eating habits
