Daucus carota

Carrot/Drug Interactions:

  • Antidiabetic agentsAntidiabetic agents: Based on a clinical trial of 10 healthy approximately 40 year-old males, consumption of 200g of processed and cooked carrots may significantly lower glucose and insulin/C-peptide responses (6).
  • AntidiarrhealsAntidiarrheals: Based on a clinical trial in children, a carrot-rice based rehydration solution may significantly decrease the duration of diarrhea, mean fecal output, and mean fluid intake in children (10).
  • AntioxidantsAntioxidants: Based on several clinical trials, ingestion of carrot juice may slightly increase antioxidant capacity and significantly reduce oxidative base damage (21; 22; 23; 24).
