LYCOPENE

LYCOPENE

Lycopene is a carotenoid with potent antioxidant properties that can trap free oxygen radicals1.* According to many researchers, lycopene may help maintain the balance of free radicals in the body1,2.* The prostate cells, as they age, generate free radicals, which is why controlling oxidative stress is vital for maintaining healthy prostate. Lycopene provides significant support for heathy prostate, maintaining its normal cellular function during aging3.* Its beneficial effects on other systems and parts of the human's body - like brain, bone, and eyesight – continue to be a focus of many studies1,4,5.*
