yes, the body uses it over time,
thats why it can say daily intake is 1000%
 
Retinol is the only form of Vitamin A. Only 2-3% of beta carotene can be converted into vitamin a

beta-carotine is basically provitamin a, meaning a PRECURSOR to Vitamin A. Can be turned by the body into Vitamin A by certain enzymes.

But since Beta-Carotine does NOT actually induce Melanin-production don't expect some actual tanning from it.

Also don't expect nearly the same anti-aging benefits as you would expect from topical retinoids like tretinoin.
