The present invention relates to compositions and methods of use to increase the bioavailability of a carotenoid in a subject. The compositions include a carotenoid and either an anthocyanin or a compound having at least one —SH group or combinations of both an anthocyanin and a compound having at least one —SH group and mixtures thereof. The compositions provide that when the composition is administered, the resulting bioavailability of the carotenoid is increased relative to a carotenoid composition that is without either the anthocyanin, is without the compound having at least one —SH group or is without the combination of an anthocyanin/a compound having at least one —SH group and mixtures thereof.
