Lyc-O-Mato - The Original Natural Tomato Lycopene
What is Lyc-O-Mato®?
Lyc-O-Mato® is an all-natural extract of red, ripe tomatoes. Lyc-O-Mato® is valued as a dietary supplement and functional food ingredient because it provides a full complement of tomato carotenoids and other nutrients to benefit good health. The synergy of the natural tomato lycopene, phytoene, phytofluene, beta-carotene, phytosterols, and vitamin E results in enhanced activity and this means greater health benefits for you.
What is lycopene?
Lycopene, the major carotenoid found in the tomato, gives the tomato its typical red color. It is an important antioxidant with a unique ability to inactivate or “quench” free radicals that can damage our cells.
What are carotenoids?
Carotenoids are a family of naturally occurring compounds found in many plants. Lycopene and beta-carotene, both found in Lyc-O-Mato®, are among the major carotenoids that occur in appreciable quantities in human blood and tissues and are believed to be important to our health and well being.
What is the role of carotenoids in health?
Carotenoids are antioxidants. They play an important role in health maintenance by helping to reduce the impact and minimize the oxidative damage caused by surplus free radicals in the body. These surplus free radicals result from normal cell metabolism, pollution, smoking and other environmental exposures. The mixture of tocopherols naturally occurring in Lyc-O-Mato® also acts as a potent antioxidant.
Directions
Recommended daily dosage: one 15mg capsule with liquid per day, preferably after food. One capsule provides the equivalent of a minimum of six large ripe tomatoes.
