- LYCOPENE :
High-Concentration Nutrient Extraction from Tomatoes.
Exposure to ultraviolet light and even the action of the body’s
immune system in combating foreign micro-organisms can slowly deplete
the body’s Lycopene reserves. The constant bombardment of the body
by UV radiation may reduce the body’s ability to fight disease
and maintain healthy cell structure.
Replenishment of the body’s Lycopene
supply can help bolster the body’s defense mechanisms, resulting
in greater protection of the body’s enzymes, DNA and cellular lipids.
Lycopene eliminates a particularly destructive form of oxidation called
free radicals. In fact, it’s more than twice as powerful as beta
carotene at quenching free radicals. Lycopene is also one of the most
abundant carotenoids in human blood serum and is the most abundant carotene
in prostate tissue.
A recent Harvard study indicates that men with a high intake of tomato
based foods may enjoy greater protection against prostate cancer and
many experts believe that the Carotenoid, Lycopene which gives tomatoes
their rich, red color, may play a crucial role in their protective power.
Each easy-to-take softgel supplies a high concentration of Lycopene-5
mg, approximately as much as in one pound of red-ripened tomatoes.
LYCOPENE AND PROSTATE CANCER:
The Technological Institute of the Canary
Islands has begun the count down in the licopeno production, an extracted
substance of the tomato, that is commercialized in form of capsules
and whose main property is in the capacity of reduction of free radicals
and its effectiveness in the prevention of the prostate cancer.
The lycopene is the pigment responsible
for the coloration of the tomatos, a chemical compound of the family
of carotenoid ones, who reduces the free radicals (main cause of the
premature aging), and she neutralizes them.
Its commercialization is made in form of
capsules, that go stuffed of a gelatinous extract in which they are
suspended licopeno crystals. Its main property is in its capacity for
the prevention of the prostate cancer, so and as they indicate the clinical
studies, although its application is varied (dietetic, cosmetic, or
like colorante for any other type of nourishing product). In addition,
the licopeno contains the double of antirust activity that the beta
carotene (colorante of the carrots), reason why recommends its use in
the prevention of the injurious effects of solar lightning bolts, as
well as of the cutaneous infections, etc.
