What is Lycopene powder?
Lycopene is a bright red carotenoid hydrocarbon found in tomatoes and other red fruits and vegetables, such as red carrots, watermelons, gac melons, and papayas, but it is not present in strawberries or cherries. Although lycopene is chemically a carotene, it has no vitamin A activity.
Lycopene powder uses?
The lycopene in supplements is about as easy for the body to use as lycopene found in food. People take lycopene for preventing heart disease; “hardening of the arteries” (atherosclerosis); and cancer of the prostate, breast, lung, bladder, ovaries, colon, and pancreas.
Lycopene powder benefits
Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant with many health benefits, including sun protection, improved heart health and a lower risk of certain types of cancer. Though it can be found as a supplement, it may be most effective when consumed from lycopene-rich foods like tomatoes and other red or pink fruits.
Lycopene powder dosage
The appropriate dose of lycopene depends on several factors such as the user’s age, health, and several other conditions. At this time there is not enough scientific information to determine an appropriate range of doses for lycopene. Keep in mind that natural products are not always necessarily safe and dosages can be important. Be sure to follow relevant directions on product labels and consult your pharmacist or physician or other healthcare professional before using.
Lycopene that comes from food sources has no set recommended intake amount. The average person consumes approximately 2 milligrams per day in their diet. This isn’t nearly enough to reap the antioxidant benefits, as past research has found those with high blood pressure consuming 12 mg per day of lycopene experienced lower blood pressure levels.
