Lycopene is a substance from the family of pigments called carotenoids.
Lycopene is present in many fruits and vegetables. Lycopene is the substance that gives tomatoes their red color. The redder they are, the more lycopene they contain.
Lycopene is a strong antioxidant that, when absorbed into the body, helps regenerate cells damaged by free radicals.
Antioxidants are substances that help the body fight free radicals. They also prevent DNA oxidation, reducing the risk of certain types of cancer. The human body cannot produce Lycopene. For this reason, it is important to consume foods rich in it or to obtain it through a dietary supplement.
