No this is conthaxanthin available through the shopping center. Many years ago, 1960 probably before you were born, a white guy John Howard Griffin wrote a book, Black Like Me after taking some similar pills. Wanted to experience prejudice first hand. I don't think these pills are available in the US. Are these beet root and carrot pills available in a health food store? Thanks for replying. And while you're here; what's lol?

Hmmmmm those natural pills I took (and will take again) is found in health stores (and even in normal supermarkeds) here in France.
I would be more careful taking the other kind of pills.
Try to some reseach about it before.

I read the Griffin book. It was great, but his death was linked to the intake of chemicals. I don't know if any internal substances that can change your skin colour would be healthy.
