Lycopene:
Lycopene is carotenoid antioxidant that gives the characteristic bright red colour to tomatoes, guavas, watermelon and pink grapefruit.
Lycopene is a proven antioxidant and it neutralize free radicals, which may damage the body's cells. In the body, lycopene is deposited in the prostate gland, liver, lungs, colon and skin.
Epidemiological studies have shown that high intake of Lycopene is inversely associated with the incidence of certain types of chronic diseases. Interestingly studies have shown that the Lycopene complex is more bioavailable when it is subjected to mild heating process. |
