Lycopene for Cardiovascular Health: Preclinical to Clinical Evidence

Cardiovascular disorder is a significant source of illness and destruction in the US and worldwide. It is well known that diet and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are related and that managing and preventing CVD begins with dietary changes. The latest epoch of nutritional, medicinal, botanical, physiological, and analytical sciences has emerged due to the finding of bioactive constituents behind the necessary supplements appearing in foods. The main metabolic benefits of lycopene include improving the increase of LDL and VLDL and reducing arterial stiffness. It also has anti-atherosclerotic, antioxidant, anti-hypertensive, and lowers the pro-inflammatory cytokines. One food ingredient that has caught the interest of scientists in food, agriculture, and dietary accessory businesses is lycopene. Lycopene positively impacts health, particularly those connected to its antioxidant properties and ability to prevent cardiovascular disease (CVD). In addition to giving tomatoes and tomato-based products their characteristic red shade, lycopene also has health-beneficial qualities. Several preclinical and clinical studies have proven the value of lycopene in treating cardiovascular disease.
