Description

Lycopene is the pigment principally responsible for the characteristic deep-red color of ripe tomato fruits and tomato products. Lycopene is an antioxidant scavenger, hypolipaemic agent, inhibitor of pro-inflammatory and pro-thrombotic factors, thus potentially of benefit in cardiovascular disease (CVD). Lycopene may play a role in the prevention of Renal cell carcinoma, it also may play a role against obesity-related complications.
