Lycopene 10mg soft gels LyC-O MATO®
Clinically proven Lyc-O-Mato® lycopene is extracted from GMO free tomatoes. Each Lyco-Sorb® softgel contains the equivalent amount of lycopene as found in two tomatoes.
Lycopene, one of more than 600 carotenoids found in nature, is a powerful antioxidant that has been shown to potentially play a role supporting the body's ability to fight illness.
Lycopene as an Antioxidant
Studies show lycopene works well together with several other antioxidants, including vitamin E and flavonoids.
Lycopene and Vision
Lycopene is a carotenoid that provides healthy eyesight support. Lycopene is found in the eye.
Lycopene and Prostate Cancer
Lycopene has shown to potentially play a role in prostate cancer, and perhaps other cancers, including cervix, mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, colon and rectum. Lycopene helps prevent damage to DNA.
Lycopene and the Heart
Lycopene and other carotenoids may provide healthy support to the cardiovascular system. Lycopene, as an antioxidant, helps protect cholesterol from being oxidized.
Lycopene and Oral Leukoplakia
One study showed that lycopene supplements were helpful in oral leukoplakia.
Lycopene and Blood Pressure
Researchers in Israel have found that a daily dose of lycopene helped lower blood pressure among 31 men and women with mild hypertension. On average, their systolic pressure -- the top number in a blood-pressure reading -- dropped 10 points, while their diastolic pressure, or bottom number, dipped four points.
Lycopene mechanism of action
Lycopene acts in many different ways in the body. Lycopene works as an antioxidant and it may help reduce DNA damage. Furthermore, lycopene inhibits prostatic IGF-I signaling, IL-6 expression (interleukin), and androgen signaling. Moreover, lycopene improves communication between cells, and induces phase II drug metabolizing enzymes.
