Biovea Lycopene 10mg – Lycopene, Pack of 60 sgels

What is lycopene?

Lycopene is an incredible phytonutrient – an antioxidant. Lycopene has been the subject of recent research revealing its antioxidant properties and has been identified as the key compound found in red tomatoes. Although a diet high in fruits and vegetables is recommended for optimal health, it can be difficult to get the appropriate daily doses. By isolating lycopene in easy-to-swallow softgel capsules, Biovea now offers a solution to help supplement your diet with this healthy compound.

Interest in lycopene has grown due to the many recent epidemiological studies that have shown that lycopene may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. A diet rich in carotenoid-containing foods has been associated with several health benefits. Lycopene has unique structural and chemical characteristics that may contribute to its biological actions in humans.

What does lycopene do?

Many of the reported health benefits of lycopene are due to its ability to protect cells from oxidative damage. Although there is less research focused on lycopene compared to other carotenoids, studies have shown that lycopene is a more potent scavenger of oxygen radicals than other major dietary carotenoids.

The relationship between lycopene and cardiovascular disease is also being studied. Scientists suggest that lycopene may positively affect cholesterol metabolism due to its antioxidant properties. Researchers suggest that lycopene may modestly reduce cholesterol levels.

Are there any side effects?

Lycopene is non-toxic and commonly found in the diet. There are no known side effects.
