 Exposure to ultraviolet light and even the
action of the body’s immune system in combating foreign
micro-organisms can slowly deplete the body’s Lycopene
reserves. The constant bombardment of the body by UV radiation
may reduce the body’s ability to fight disease and maintain
healthy cell structure.
Replenishment of the body’s
Lycopene supply can help bolster the body’s defense
mechanisms, resulting in greater protection of the body’s
enzymes, DNA and cellular lipids.
Lycopene eliminates a
particularly destructive form of oxidation called free
radicals. In fact, it’s more
|
than twice
as powerful as beta carotene at quenching free radicals.
Lycopene is also one of the most abundant carotenoids in
human blood serum and is the most abundant carotene in
prostate tissue.
A recent Harvard study indicates that men
with a high intake of tomato based foods may enjoy greater
protection against prostate cancer and many experts believe
that the Carotenoid, Lycopene which gives tomatoes their rich,
red color, may play a crucial role in their protective power.
Each easy-to-take softgel supplies a high concentration of
Lycopene-5 mg, approximately as much as in one pound of
red-ripened tomatoes.
