What is lycopene?
Did you know? Lycopene is a carotenoid, the bright pigment that gives red fruit and vegetables their colour, most notably in tomatoes. Because the tomato has seeds and grows from a flowering plant it is classed as a fruit, not a vegetable. There are more than 7500 tomato varieties grown around the world and each variety contains different levels of lycopene. Processing fruit and vegetables releases the lycopene which is normally locked away inside the cells. By eating cooked fruit and vegetables, you obtain five times more lycopene than eating them raw! The richest dietary sources from tomatoes are ketchup, concentrated tomato purée and passata (pizza sauce) − so pizza can be good for you (although in moderation!) and especially if drizzled with a little of olive oil, as lycopene is fat−soluble this can increase its absorption in our bodies.
Why choose Healthspan's Lycopene Men's Health capsules?
Lycopene is considered an important nutrient in the human diet; however, typical intakes in Britain are thought to be only a fraction of those recommended by nutritionists. Because lycopene is found in particularly high concentrations in tomatoes, these capsules are produced using specially selected tomato varieties with naturally high lycopene levels. Only non-GMO tomatoes are used, meaning they have not been genetically modified for traits such as faster growth at the expense of food quality or safety.
A patented extraction process helps preserve the tomato’s key compounds, resulting in a high-quality lycopene extract rich in naturally occurring tomato phytonutrients. Each gelatin-free capsule provides 15 mg of lycopene from a natural source, alongside 6 mg of vitamin E, which contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
To further support male health, zinc and selenium have been added. Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels, while selenium supports normal spermatogenesis.
Who is this for?
While Lycopene is a great compound to protect your skin and cells from free radicals and stress, it's also a very popular product from men's health and overall wellbeing.
