Indications and Usage
Lycopene is a bright red carotene and carotenoid pigment and phytochemical found in tomatoes and other red fruits & vegetables, such as red carrots, watermelons and papayas (but not strawberries or cherries). Although lycopene is chemically a carotene, it has no vitamin A activity.
Lycopene may be the most powerful carotenoid quencher of singlet oxygen, being 100 times more efficient in test tube studies of singlet-oxygen quenching action than vitamin E, which in turn has 125 times the quenching action of glutathione (water soluble). Carotenoids like lycopene areimport ant pigments found in photosynthetic pigment-protein complexes in plants, photosynthetic bacteria, fungi, and algae. They are responsible for the bright colors of fruits and vegetables, perform various functions in photosynthesis, and protect photosynthetic organisms from excessive light damage. Lycopene is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of many import ant carotenoids, such as beta-carotene, and xanthophylls.
Lycopene also is a powerful antioxidant, indicated in preventing breast cancer, prostate cancer, decreasingincidence of skin cancer and bladder cancer, preventing cardiovascular disease, curing male-sterility syndrome, improving immunity as well.
