 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.
