Lycopene is the red pigment found in tomatoes, grapefruit, apricots, melons, etc., with potential cancer-preventing properties. Lycopene belongs to the group of carotenoids. It is necessary for the normal growth and development of cells, as well as for their specialization to perform various functions in the body. The greatest preventive potential against tumors is its antioxidant activity – the ability to neutralize free radicals /enhanced by vitamin E/.
A number of studies prove that taking lycopene reduces the risk of tumors of the prostate, uterus, mammary gland, lung and digestive tract. Lycopene has almost twice the antioxidant potential of beta-carotene. Intake of lycopene reduces the risk of heart disease and activates the immune system. Preventive intake of lycopene can significantly contribute to reducing the risk of prostate cancer.
