Description

Lycopene 5% Supplement is a naturally occurring carotenoid pigment that is best known for its deep red color in fruits like tomatoes and watermelons. Beyond its visual appeal, lycopene has garnered significant attention for its potent antioxidant properties and potential health benefits, particularly in the areas of heart health, prostate cancer prevention, arteriosclerosis, along with skin- and sunburn protection.

Antioxidant

As an antioxidant, lycopene effectively neutralizes harmful free radicals, preventing them from damaging cells. This protective effect is attributed to lycopene’s ability to scavenge free radicals and enhance the antioxidant defense system within the body.

Heart

Lycopene has been linked to a reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases. Its antioxidant capacity helps protect against LDL (bad) cholesterol oxidation, a key factor in atherosclerosis, the buildup of plaque in arteries that can lead to heart attacks and strokes. Additionally, lycopene may improve endothelial function, the smooth lining of blood vessels, promoting healthy blood flow and circulation.

Prostate

Research suggests that lycopene may play a role in preventing prostate cancer, one of the most common types of cancer among men. Studies have shown that men with higher lycopene levels in their diet may have a lower risk of developing prostate cancer.

Skin

The antioxidant properties of lycopene extend to skin protection. It acts as a shield against harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, reducing the risk of sunburn and preventing premature aging signs like wrinkles and sunspots. Its presence in the skin can also help protect against the development of skin cancer by inhibiting mutagenesis.

Cognitive Support

Emerging research suggests that lycopene may have neuroprotective effects, potentially supporting cognitive function and reducing the risk of age-related cognitive decline. Premium lycopene supplements may be a valuable component of a holistic approach to brain health.

Skin

Lycopene has shown promise in protecting the skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. It may enhance the skin’s natural defense mechanisms, reducing the risk of sunburn and promoting healthier skin

Preliminary Research

Suggests a potential link to improved semen quality and sperm motility in men. In animal studies, lycopene supplementation has been shown to protect against liver damage caused by toxins like alcohol and acetaminophen.

Suggested use

The suggested dose is 300 mg to 600 mg daily, which corresponds to 15 mg to 30 mg pure lycopene. Note that you can improve bioavailability and absorption considerably by taking lycopene with some oil or fatty acids.
