Carotenoids, a class of essential phytonutrients widely distributed among plants, algae, bacteria, and fungi, serve diverse functions in various biological processes. Notably, they encompass pro-vitamin A compounds that significantly contribute to the promotion of human health and the prevention of diseases. This comprehensive review delves into the current state of knowledge concerning the health benefits associated with specific carotenoids, including β-carotene, α-carotene, lycopene, β-cryptoxanthin, lutein, and zeaxanthin, with a particular emphasis on their potential in the prevention and management of chronic diseases. Scientific evidence indicates that carotenoids exhibit multifaceted potential in mitigating the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, age-related macular degeneration, and various other chronic conditions. Their mechanisms of action encompass antioxidant properties, anti-inflammatory effects, modulation of the immune system, and specific disease-targeted mechanisms. Nevertheless, a more comprehensive understanding of the precise mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of carotenoids and the determination of optimal dosages and formulations for specific health outcomes necessitate further investigation. The amassed evidence underscores the significance of carotenoids as vital nutrients for human health, suggesting that their incorporation into dietary practices may offer substantial support in the prevention and treatment of an array of chronic diseases. This review provides a scholarly overview of the multifaceted roles played by carotenoids in disease prevention and health promotion, highlighting the imperative need for ongoing research to elucidate their full potential.
