 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.
