| What is lycopene? |
|
Lycopene is the red colour in tomatoes and is also found in pink grapefruit, watermelon and guava. Worldwide research has shown lycopene to be one of the most powerful antioxidants.
Research indicates that high levels of lycopene in the body may lead to a much lower risk of serious disease, including heart disease and prostate cancer (especially).
Unfortunately, our body cannot absorb lycopene efficiently  from unprocessed tomatoes. Some processed tomato products are good sources of lycopene, such as tomato ketchup, tomato puree and even grilled tomatoes. However, a diet high in tomato content is not always convenient, or even desirable (e.g.due to salt and sugar content). Lycoplus  EXTRA offers a convenient source of lycopene on a daily basis. One capsule of Lycoplus EXTRA provides the same amount of lycopene as approximately  eight cooked tomatoes.

| What are antioxidants? |
|
Many scientists and doctors believe that damaging free radicals may start many diseases including some cancers and heart disease. Free radicals arise naturally, particularly if you are stressed and also from pollution, for example from car exhaust fumes and cigarette smoke.
Antioxidants help to neutralise free radicals.
Fortunately, the body has some natural antioxidants as a defence against these free radicals. However, we cannot synthesise many of the antioxidants that we need so we must also rely on antioxidants in our diet.
Lycopene is an extremely powerful antioxidant but has been proven to work best only when combined with other antioxidants, especially vitamin C. This is because vitamin C helps to repair lycopene once it has removed a damaging free radical.

| Why Lycoplus EXTRA? |
|
Unlike most other lycopene supplements on the market, Lycoplus EXTRA also contains vitamin C. Research has shown that free radicals can destroy lycopene unless there is sufficient vitamin C present to repair the lycopene after it has removed a free radical. LycoPlus is therefore a carefully formulated mixture of lycopene and vitamins C and E  giving the best available and long-lasting protection against free radicals.
Lycoplus EXTRA has been created and is produced by World Leading Professors who have each spent over 30 years researching the effects of lycopene in the human body.
The lycopene in Lycoplus EXTRA comes from Lyc-O-Mato, a natural product extracted from red ripe tomatoes. This  Lycoplus EXTRA capsules  also contains other antioxidants including vitamin E and phytochemicals that help to give you the best protection available, as well as the benefits against prostate disease and heart disease, Lycoplus EXTRA, excellent overall protection, including, for older wowmn past the menopause, protection against breast tissue problems.
