Lyc-O-Mato®:
Antioxidants from Tomato
Lyc-O-Mato® tomato lycopene complex
is a unique LycoRed product. This all-natural
extract of lycopene-rich tomatoes provides
a full complement of tomato carotenoids and
other antioxidants to benefit good health.
Lyc-O-Mato® is called a tomato lycopene
complex because it contains a whole complex
of phytonutrients including phytoene, phytofluene,
beta-carotene, tocopherols and phytosterols.
Scientific research has shown that the phytonutrient
complex works in synergy with the natural lycopene
resulting in more powerful antioxidant activity
and greater health benefits. Epidemiological
studies support the health benefits of whole
tomato and tomato extract products.
