Lycopene is cancer-preventative phytonutrient - an antioxidant with a laundry list of amazing benefits. It's most commonly found in tomato nutrition, but you can consume it in a number of common fruits and veggies. It has some properties in common with beta-carotene, although they're not identical.
As a pigment in food, lycopene is responsible for the red color of tomatoes, although not all red fruits and vegetables contain this antioxidant. It's even registered as an official food coloring in the U.S. In fact, lycopene is not soluble in water and is responsible for staining a lot of cookware the orange color you often find after making spaghetti sauce.
While the staining may be tough to scrub clean, it's worth the effort because this amazing phytonutrient has a host of impressive benefits.
Function
1. Enhance oxidative stress ability and anti-inflammatory effect
Oxidative damage is considered to be one of the main causes of increasing incidence of cancer and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The antioxidant capacity of lycopene in vitro has been confirmed by many experiments, and its ability to quench singlet oxygen is more than twice that of beta-carotene, the currently commonly used antioxidant, and 100 times that of vitamin E.
2. Protect heart and blood vessels
Lycopene can deeply remove vascular garbage, regulate plasma cholesterol concentration, protect low-density lipoprotein (LDL) from oxidation, repair and improve oxidized cells, promote the formation of intercellular glia, and enhance the flexibility of blood vessels.
3. Protect skin
Lycopene also has functions such as reducing skin exposure to radiation or ultraviolet (UV) rays.
4.Enhance immunity
Studies have found that moderate doses of lycopene capsules can improve human immunity and reduce the damage of acute exercise to the body's immunity.
