One softgel supplies 10 mg of lycopene, the most single oxygen (free radical) quencher carotene available. Lycopene is more than twice as powerful as beta-carotene as an antioxidant. In Europe, researchers have found a statistically significant association between high dietary lycopene and a 48% lower risk of heart disease. Lycopene supplementation has also boosted immune function in the elderly. In that trial, 15 mg of lycopene per day increased natural killer cell activity by 28% in twelve weeks.
TWINLAB lycopene is in a base of tomato concentrate. Vitamin E (as mixed tocopherols) is added as an antioxidant plus medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) for greater stability, shelf life, and enhanced bioavailability.
