Product Description

 Product Description


Lycopene is a very important class of carotenoids that scavenges singlet oxygen (1O2) at an oxidation rate constant 100 times that of vitamin E and twice that of β2 carotene.
Lycopene is effective in preventing the occurrence of prostate cancer, digestive tract cancer, cervical cancer, skin cancer and cardiovascular disease, and has a significantly higher inhibitory effect on uterine and lung cancer cells than β2 carotene and α2 carotene.
Moreover, lycopene is also a serum micronutrient associated with ageing diseases and can inhibit degenerative diseases associated with ageing.
Lycopene is very powerful in protecting lymphocytes from cell membrane damage or cell death caused by NO2 free radicals and has a greater ability to scavenge free radicals than other carotenoids.
Lycopene is a red colouring agent in tomatoes, pink grapefruit and palm oil. It is a straight-chain derivative of carotene with no vitamin A activity and is used as an edible colouring agent.
