 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.
