Lycopene

The most powerful natural antioxidant

Overview

Consumers want clean labels, Brands want clinical validation.

Lycored’s lycopene (Lycopersicon esculentum) is extracted from our unique, vertically integrated, tomato breed, and delivers a potent dose of this naturally-derived nutrient consumers crave.

As the most studied carotenoid in the world—with over 300 published clinical trials—our lycopene is formulated to ensure maximum bioavailability enabling the superior absorption in the body. It works at the root, targeting oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, and cellular imbalance, and through these core mechanisms, it supports cellular wellness, immunity, bone health, heart health, eye health, skin health, and more.

Our new VAS (Versatile Application System) allows seamless tablets, gummies, powder beverages, and capsules fortification, simplifying the formulation process and reducing the need to source multiple forms of ingredients.

The Power of Lycopene on Cellular Wellness

Lycopene is a cellular shield, protecting your body’s cells from damage caused by harmful stress and inflammation – two main drivers of aging. It promotes cell energy and longevity by supporting mitochondria, the powerhouses within cells, and helps maintain the health of your genetic material. Clinical evidence links lycopene to longer telomere length, a marker of cellular youth, helping you maintain vitality and wellness as you age.

Blood Sugar & Metabolic Health

Lycopene supports balanced blood sugar levels and helps your body use insulin better. It calms inflammation and reduces oxidative stress, which often causes or worsens metabolic problems. Clinical studies reveal that lycopene can lower fasting blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity, making it especially helpful for people with type 2 diabetes or metabolic syndrome. It also supports a healthier liver by reducing fat buildup and inflammation.

Health Associations

Skin Health

Lycopene helps increase skin’s defense systems against sunburns and damage caused by UV rays. While it is not a full replacement for sunscreen, Lycopene is a complementary solution.

Immunity

Including antioxidants like Lycopene in the daily routine is highly recommended, as a lack of can weaken the immune system, reducing the body’s ability to defend itself against diseases.

Heart Health

Supporter of our best natural transportation system, lycopene has been shown to optimize circulation and promote healthy blood flow, ideal oxidation, and the  key to  nutrients delivery to tissues when and where they need it. 

Calmness and cardiovascular health are closely linked, but avoiding stress is not always easy. Lycopene was found to help maintain healthy blood pressure and protect against low-density lipoprotein oxidation. 

 

Eye Health

Lycopene helps eyesight by delaying the formation of cataracts and reducing the risk of macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in older adults.

Bone Health

Lycopene, thanks to its well-known antioxidant properties,  inhibits the formation of osteoclasts (bone cells) and the production of free radicals, thus helping to reduce the process of bone resorption and maintain healthy and strong bones.

Prostate Health

Studies have demonstrated that supplementation with Lycopene is associated with a reduced risk of prostate concerns. This can be attributed to the cell signaling benefits provided by lycopene.

Healthy Gums and Teeth

Lycopene is a natural ally for gum health. It reduces harmful oxidative compounds and lowers inflammation in the mouth. Studies show lycopene used alongside regular denta care helps reduce gum swelling, bleeding, and pockets around teeth—key signs of gum disease. It also helps protect the bone that supports your teeth, keeping your smile strong.

Male Fertility

Lycopene helps protect sperm from damage caused by harmful molecules, improving their quality, mobility, and shape. It also supports male hormone balance important for fertility. Research shows lycopene supplementation improves sperm health and fertility outcomes, making it a natural choice for men looking to enhance reproductive wellness.
