Product Overview
Product Name: Lycopene.
CAS No.:502-65-8
Application: Dietary Supplement, Food Additives, Medicine
Lycopene is known as "plant gold" and is one of the strongest antioxidants in plants. Its antioxidant capacity is 100 times that of vitamin E.
It is a type of carotenoid that is widely found in vegetables such as tomatoes and watermelons. It can eliminate hydroxyl radicals and superoxide anions, inhibit lipid peroxidation, and has powerful antioxidant properties. At the same time, it has multiple biological active functions such as protecting the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems, lowering blood lipids, resisting ultraviolet radiation, and enhancing physical performance. The human body cannot synthesize it by itself and needs to obtain it through food intake. Lycopene is widely used in the food industry due to its natural, non-toxic nature, antioxidant properties and color.
Functions
【Anti-aging and anti-cancer】
Oxidative damage is one of the main reasons for the increased incidence of cancer and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Lycopene has been proven to have strong antioxidant capacity in experimental studies, which can reduce skin damage caused by ultraviolet light exposure and has certain preventive and mitigating effects on 13 types of cancer, including prostate cancer, breast cancer, and skin cancer.
【Protect the cardiovascular systems】
Lycopene can deeply remove vascular waste, regulate plasma cholesterol concentration, protect low-density lipoprotein (LDL) from oxidation, and also repair and improve oxidized cells, enhancing the flexibility of blood vessels. The antioxidant properties of lycopene can also play an important role in improving local cerebral ischemia.
【Improve prostate function】
Lycopene can inhibit the proliferation of prostate epithelial cells, promote the apoptosis of hyperplastic prostate tissue, prevent the prostate from continuing to grow larger, no longer compress the bladder, and relieve symptoms such as frequent urination and urgent urination.
