Lycopene 25mg + Vitamin E - 90 Capsules

Lycopene, a member of the carotenoid family, is a powerful antioxidant found in tomatoes. Carotenoids are natural pigments in plants, serving to protect chlorophyll from oxidation during photosynthesis. Lycopene's strong antioxidant properties contribute to cellular protection.

Vitamin E, another antioxidant, supports cell protection by neutralizing free radicals, which can damage cells and lead to oxidative stress. The form of Vitamin E in this product, D-alpha-Tocopheryl Acetate, is a provitamin that the body can convert to Vitamin E (alpha-Tocopherol) as needed.

Lycopene in Foods:

Lycopene is predominantly found in tomatoes, giving them their red color. It is also present in significant amounts in foods like rose hips, guavas, watermelons, and apricots. Processed tomato products such as tomato juice, tomato paste, tomato sauce, or ketchup have a higher lycopene content and greater bioavailability compared to fresh tomatoes due to the release of lycopene during processing.

Vitamin E in Foods:

High amounts of Vitamin E are found in various plant-based foods, particularly oils like wheat germ oil, corn oil, soybean oil, olive oil, and flaxseed oil. Nuts like walnuts and Brazil nuts are also rich sources of Vitamin E. Among animal sources, fish like lobster, mackerel, red snapper, and trout are notable.
