The green unicellular flagellate Dunaliella salina Teodoresco is the richest natural source of the carotenoid β-carotene. The human body converts beta-carotene into vitamin A (retinol). We need vitamin A for healthy skin and mucus membranes, our immune system, and good eye health and vision. Beta-carotene in itself is not an essential nutrient, but vitamin A is.
