Tomato Extract Powder, 10% Lycopene

Description

Tomato Extract Powder : This is a concentrated form of tomato, rich in “Lycopene,” a highly effective antioxidant. Lycopene is known to be more potent in combating free radicals than Vitamin C and Vitamin E, being up to 20 times more efficient. This property helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, which are a major cause of various diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and stroke.

Lycopene : An organic compound belonging to the carotenoid group, responsible for the yellow, orange, and red colors found in many vegetables and fruits, such as tomatoes, watermelons, pink grapefruits, pink guavas, and papayas. Its molecular formula is C40H56. Lycopene is a solid that is insoluble in water but soluble in fats. Among carotenoids, lycopene is one of the strongest antioxidants, twice as effective as beta-carotene (β-carotene) and ten times more effective than alpha-tocopherol (α-tocopherol) in combating free radicals. Free radicals naturally occur from cellular metabolism or can be introduced through environmental toxins, leading to cell damage and various diseases.

Key Benefits of Tomato Extract Powder

• Antioxidant Properties : Lycopene’s high antioxidant capacity helps protect body cells from damage by free radicals, which are by-products of food metabolism and environmental pollutants. This protection helps prevent diseases caused by free radicals, such as cancer, heart and vascular diseases, and possibly Alzheimer’s disease.
• Eye Health : Lycopene, an antioxidant, helps protect the eyes from blue light. It binds with blue light and absorbs its energy, reducing the light’s ability to damage eye cells. Blue light, high-energy visible light with short wavelengths, is commonly found in sunlight, computer screens, mobile phones, and other electronic devices. It can damage eye cells and lead to diseases such as cataracts and age-related macular degeneration.
• Skin Health : Lycopene has a large and complex molecular structure, enabling it to effectively bind with free radicals. Once bound, lycopene neutralizes these free radicals, turning them into stable molecules and preventing them from causing cellular damage. This process protects skin cells from damage caused by free radicals, preventing issues like age spots, freckles, wrinkles, and dull skin. Additionally, lycopene stimulates collagen and elastin production, essential proteins for maintaining skin’s firmness and elasticity. Collagen provides structural support to the skin, while elastin helps maintain skin flexibility. UV rays from sunlight can destroy collagen and elastin, leading to sagging skin and wrinkles. Lycopene helps slow down this degradation process, keeping the skin firm and elastic.
• Heart and Vascular Health : Heart disease and stroke are leading causes of death worldwide, often caused by factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, obesity, and inflammation. Lycopene, a potent antioxidant, helps protect blood vessel walls from damage by free radicals, which can cause oxidative reactions and damage cells, including those in blood vessel walls. Moreover, lycopene helps prevent bad cholesterol (LDL) from accumulating in blood vessels. It may interfere with LDL absorption in the intestines, reducing the body’s LDL levels. Lycopene also improves blood circulation and dilates blood vessels, facilitating smoother blood flow and reducing heart disease and stroke risks.
• Cancer Risk Reduction : Lycopene’s high antioxidant efficacy helps protect cells from damage by free radicals, which occur naturally from cellular metabolism and environmental factors and can lead to various health problems, particularly cancer, Mechanisms include

• • Inhibiting Cancer Cell Growth : Lycopene can inhibit the growth of cancer cells by interacting with specific proteins on cancer cell surfaces, affecting their division and growth.
  • Stimulating Cancer Cell Death : Lycopene can induce apoptosis, a natural cell death process, in cancer cells, reducing their spread and inhibiting tumor growth.
  • Preventing Cancer Cell Spread : Lycopene can inhibit the metastasis of cancer cells to other body parts.
