Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant carotenoid compound found in tomatoes, watermelons, pink grapefruits, pink guavas, papayas, red bell peppers, and rose hips. Tomatoes account for about 85% of the dietary intake of lycopene in the typical diet. Lycopene also scavenges for free radicals throughout the body, in fact some research has shown lycopene’s quenching action as being 100 times more effective than Vitamin E.
Lycopene is present in human blood plasma, skin, liver, adrenal glands, lungs, prostate, and colon.
Lycopene may be the most powerful carotenoid quencher of singlet oxygen - an unstable form of molecular oxygen responsible for the damaging effects of sunlight on organic materials. When exposed to ultraviolet light, singlet oxygen is a primary cause of skin aging and lycopene is a very effective sun protection supplement.
