What is LycopeneLycopene is a carotenoid, the bright pigment that gives red fruit and vegetables their colour, most notably in tomatoes. There are more than 7,500 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! Why choose HealthspanLycopene is considered an essential nutrient in the human diet in Britain however we are thought to consume only a fraction of the intake recommended by nutritionists. As lycopene is found in high concentrations in tomatoes, Healthspan make their capsules from specially selected tomato varieties with particularly high levels of lycopene. They also use non-GMO tomatoes only, meaning they have not been genetically modified for more desirable traits such as faster growing at the expense of food safety. Even better, they use a patented extraction process that protects the main tomato compounds, delivering a high-quality lycopene extract rich in tomato phytonutrients. Just one of our gelatin-free capsules daily provide 15mg of natural source lycopene, alongside 10mg of vitamin E which protects your cells from oxidative stress.
