Manufacturer: Life Extension Lycopene is a carotenoid and the source of the red coloring in tomatoes, red peppers, red grapefruit, and watermelon. It may have the highest antioxidant properties of all the carotenoids. The powerful antioxidant action of lycopene helps to prevent the oxidation of serum lipids, thus promoting arterial health.* Lycopene may also assist in maintaining celL-to-cell communication and modulating cytochrome p450 detoxification, factors that benefit susceptible tissue.* Research has found that lycopene is better absorbed when preheated in, or co-ingested with fat. Lycopene may be an important substance in maintaining prostate health.66-74* In addition, the strong lipid antioxidant properties of lycopene make it particularly effective in blocking LDL oxidation and protecting against free radical activity on the arterial wall.75-77* Life Extension members were the first to learn about lycopene way back in 1985. Since then, improved tomato extraction methods have given consumers access to supplements that contain greater concentrations of lycopene at lower prices.
