Supports antioxidant defenses
Lycopene belongs to the class of natural pigments known as carotenoids.
The carotenoids are fat-soluble pigments that are yellow, orange, or red in color. Red is the color of lycopene in the spectrum of carotenoid pigments.
The body cannot produce lycopene, so it has to be consumed through diet. Lycopene is most commonly found in red tomatoes and tomato products --over 80% of the total amount consumed by Americans comes from tomatoes -- but lycopene is also present in watermelon and grapefruit in small amounts.
Plants can protect themselves against environmental stresses, such as sunlight, with lycopene, a plant defense compound.
Lycopene is fat-soluble and therefore active where there is a high lipid content, making it a powerful antioxidant.
The membranes of cells (which contain a lipid bilayer), mitochondria, the skin, and the brain and nervous system are some of these places.
A growing body of evidence suggests that lycopene supports protective, repair, and regeneration processes in the brain, mostly in animals [1].
Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant in the skin, especially when exposed to environmental factors.
Taking lycopene supplements can help maintain healthy levels of lycopene in the skin as we age [2,3].
