Lycopene 20mg 120 caps.
Lycopene is a natural compound found in many foods, from pizza
sauce and ketchup to watermelons and grapefruits. It’s a chemical
called a carotenoid, which are natural pigments that give color to
plants, fruits, and vegetables. As a red carotenoid, lycopene is
widely found in red and pink fruits and vegetables. It’s known as
one of the most powerful natural antioxidants, and because it’s
still effective when heated, it’s easy to add to your diet through
both fresh and processed foods.
One of the biggest benefits of lycopene is that it is an antioxidant
and protects the body from free radical stress that can damage
DNA and other cell structures. Research has shown that higher
lycopene levels strongly correlate (have a mutual relationship)
with a reduced risk for prostate cancer.7 For example, a meta-
analysis (a merging of findings from many studies) showed that
participants who reported higher lycopene intake and had higher
blood levels of lycopene were at lower risk of prostate cancer.
Also, as lycopene intake and levels in the blood increased, cancer
risk decreased further.
