Lycopene and Water Soluble Lycopene

Product Description

Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant found in tomatoes and pink grapefruit. Like the better-known supplement beta-carotene, lycopene belongs to the family of chemicals known as carotenoids. As an antioxidant, it is about twice as powerful as beta-carotene.

Functions:

Lycopene (taken at a dose of 16 grams daily) has shown promise for oral submucous fibrosis, a severe condition of the mouth primarily associated with excessive chewing of betel nuts.

Much weaker evidence-far too weak to rely upon at all-hints that lycopene or a standardized tomato extract containing lycopene might be helpful for treating a number of conditions, including prostate cance, hypertension, breast cancer and male infertility, and for preventing heart disease, sunburn, and testicular damage caused by the cancer chemotherapy drug adriamycin.

Weak evidence hints that lycopene might help protect against side-effects caused by the drug doxorubicin, specifically damage to the heart and to developing sperm cells. Results of studies have been inconsistent regarding the effects of lycopene and exercise-induced asthma. One observational study failed to find that high consumption of lycopene reduced risk of developing diabetes.

Packing: 25KG/drum with two plastic-bags inside. Or 5KG/ Aluminium Bag.
