Lycopene is a naturally chemical in tomato and it belongs to carotenoids. In recent years, lycopene has been widely used in food, medicine and other fields, known as “the gold plant”. It has become a new trend to use lycopene in health care products in the 21st century.
Adjustment of Hyperlipidemia and Hypersion
Studies have shown that supplementation of lycopene can inhibit the formation of oxidative products of LDL cholesterol. Lycopene plays a positive role in the control of blood lipids and pressure. It can not only improve vascular elasticity but also reduce vascular sclerosis.
Enhance Antioxidant Capacity
Dubbed "the gold in the tomato" because of its powerful antioxidant power, lycopene has been recognized as A class nutrient by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the Committee on Food Additives and the World Health Organization.
Scientists from Duke Medical Research Center in the United States summarized the international studies on the antioxidant capacity of lycopene in relevant populations, pointing out that long-term supplementation of lycopene (25 ~ 30mg/d) can enhance the antioxidant level and enhance the body's antioxidant capacity.
Prostate Protection
Among the carotenoids, only lycopene has a clear protective effect. Men who took the highest daily dose of lycopene (6.5 mg or more per day) in their diet, the risk of prostate cancer was reduced by 21% than those who took the least. The chemical structure of lycopene is very similar to the drug finasteridewhich is used to cure prostatic hypertrophy. The similarity in their chemical structure may be the mechanism by which lycopene reduces prostate hypertrophy.
Skin Protection
Lycopene can effectively quench the singlet oxygen in the skin and bind with free radicals to protect the skin tissue from damage. It also has a fading effect on senile plaques.
Nervous System Protection
The results of epidemiological studies have confirmed that long-term intake of foods rich in lycopene can effectively improve the cognitive and memory of the elderly, and lycopene has the role of preventing the occurrence or development of neurodegenerative diseases.
Anticancer Effects
Lycopene, as an antioxidant, can scavenge free radicals and prevent oxidative damage to lipoprotein and DNA, thus helping to prevent the occurrence of cancer.
All in all, if you are serious about your health, you can start taking lycopene supplements at any time.
