100% natural Lycopene for your prostate

Vitality TomatoLycopin is an all-natural extract obtained from red, ripe tomatoes. It is valued as a dietary supplement and functional food ingredient because it provides a full complement of tomato carotenoids and other antioxidants to promote good health.

The synergy of the natural tomato lycopene, phytoene, phytofluene, beta-carotene, phytosterols and vitamin E supports enhanced activity, which may offer increased health benefits for you.

Numerous epidemiological studies suggest tomatoes, tomato products and/or tomato phytonutrients may have beneficial health effects. Many of these benefits may be attributed to the antioxidant and free radical quenching activity of the carotenoids (lycopene, beta-carotene, phytoene, phytofluene) and tocopherols (vitamin E) which occur naturally in tomatoes and tomato extract.

Antioxidants are said to 'neutralise', or render harmless, oxygen free radical molecules. These are highly reactive toxic by-products of bio-chemical reactions which occur both as a part of normal cell metabolism and when our bodies are exposed to smoking, pollution and other damaging environmental influences.

As long as we are alive, eating and breathing in a polluted world our bodies will have to contend with free radicals, but we can use antioxidants to help reduce the impact and minimise the damage they can cause when their numbers become too great.

Free radicals can cause damage both to the structure and to the function of cell membranes, DNA and proteins. Research suggest this damage can be linked to the onset of many degenerative diseases such as atherosclerosis, cataracts, and age-related macular degeneration, as well as to premature ageing.

A diet rich in carotenoids and tocopherols provides front line support to the antioxidant system as it helps protect our cells from free radical attack and supports a healthy immune system. Clinical studies suggest the tomato extract found in Tomato Lycopin can support prostate, heart and skin health.

Vitality Tomato Lycopin production is closely supervised from the field to the finished product, assuring you receive a high-quality product. The tomatoes used in Vitality Tomato Lycopin are a high-lycopene variety from plants grown in Israel without any genetic modification.

The tomatoes are extracted by following a state of the art patented process that successfully blends technology and tradition, retaining the innate balance and synergy of all the naturally occurring phytonutrients.

A multi-disciplinary team of agricultural scientists, food technologists, processing and production engineers were involved in the development of the tomato extract manufacturing process, and the Good Manufacturing Processes (GMP's) employed are approved by the Ministry of Health.

Tomato Lycopin is a dietary supplement recommended for adults as a valuable part of a daily health care routine which includes a healthy diet.

A daily intake is often considered helpful to smokers and those exposed to environmental pollutants which increase the risk of damage from oxygen free radicals.

Finally, because the natural mechanism that protects us from free radicals weakens with age, older adults may derive enhanced benefits when tomato phytonutrients are a part of their daily diet.

Standardisation is a quality assurance process which guarantees each and every capsule contains the same quantity of an important phytonutrient marker. The tomato extract in Vitality Tomato Lycopin is scientifically standardised to contain 6% lycopene.

Lycopene is the marker for standardisation because it is known to promote good health and because it occurs naturally in tomatoes in relatively large quantities. Lycopene gives the tomato its typical red colour. It is an important antioxidant with a unique ability to support the inactivating or 'quenching' of free radicals which can damage our cells.

The carefully patented manufacturing process also guarantees that all the phytonutrients naturally present in the tomato oleoresin will be preserved in Tomato Lycopin, which can help to support added health benefits for you.
