Lycopene is a natural pigment contained in plants and one of the strongest antioxidants found in nature so far. It mainly exists in the mature fruit of tomato in solanaceae. It is the strongest antioxidant found in nature at present. It has been scientifically proved that singlet oxygen and oxygen free radicals in human body are the chief culprits that infringe on human immune system. Lycopene is far superior to other carotenoids and vitamin E in scavenging free radicals, and its rate constant of quenching singlet oxygen is 100 times that of vitamin E. It can effectively prevent and treat various diseases caused by aging and decreased immunity.
The efficacy of lycopene:
1, has miraculous effect on preventing and treating prostate diseases, prostate cancer, lung cancer, gastric cancer and breast cancer,
2. Effectively inhibit the proliferation and replication of cancer cells, which is called "plant gold" by western countries.
3. Protect cell DNA from free radical damage and prevent cell pathological changes, mutations and canceration;
4, containing strong antioxidant bioactive substances,
5, can promote cell growth and regeneration, beauty wrinkle removal, delay aging, and keep skin healthy.
The role of lycopene:
1. Prevention and inhibition of cancer: The latest research results show that taking 30 mg of lycopene every day can prevent prostate cancer, digestive tract cancer, bladder cancer and other cancers. The body can't synthesize lycopene, so it must be taken from the diet. Eating a raw tomato can only absorb 0.05 mg of lycopene. Therefore, it is essential to supplement lycopene in the treatment of prostate diseases.
2. Protect the cardiovascular system: In the process of the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis, lipoprotein oxidation in the intima of blood vessels is a key factor. Lycopene plays an important role in reducing lipoprotein oxidation. It is reported that oral administration of natural lycopene can reduce serum cholesterol to below 5.20 mmol/L. Lycopene can be used to prevent and treat hypercholesterolemia and hyperlipidemia, which can slow down the development of cardiovascular diseases.
3, anti-ultraviolet radiation function: lycopene can resist ultraviolet damage. The researchers gave 10 healthy people 28 mg of β -carotene and 2 mg of lycopene for 0-2 months. As a result, the area and degree of erythema caused by ultraviolet rays decreased in people who took lycopene.
4. Inhibition of mutagenicity: One of the important mechanisms of tumor formation is the gene mutation of tissues and cells under the action of external mutagens, and lycopene can block this process and play an anti-cancer role. For example, people in the Mediterranean use ketchup when frying grilled fish and meat, which reduces the formation of mutagens such as heteroamines during cooking. Therefore, although local residents like to eat barbecue food that is easy to cause cancer, the incidence of cervical cancer, prostate cancer and liver cancer is very low.
5, delay aging, enhance immunity: lycopene can most effectively remove free radicals in the human body, maintain normal cell metabolism, and prevent aging. Lycopene is absorbed into blood and lymph through the mucosa of digestive tract in the body, and distributed to testis, adrenal gland, prostate, pancreas, breast, ovary, liver, lung, colon, skin and various mucosal tissues, which promotes the secretion of hormones by glands, thus maintaining the vigorous vitality of human body; Eliminate free radicals in these organs and tissues, protect them from harm and enhance the body's immunity. Indian scholars pointed out that lycopene can increase the sperm quantity and vitality of infertile men, thus curing infertility.
6, lycopene can greatly improve skin allergies, eliminate skin dryness and itching caused by skin allergies, making people feel relaxed and happy.
7. Lycopene exists in a large number of various mucosal tissues in the body. Long-term use can improve all kinds of discomfort caused by the destruction of mucosal tissue in the body. Such as dry cough, dry eye, oral ulcer and protecting gastrointestinal mucosa.
8, lycopene also has a strong hangover effect. The metabolic process of alcohol in human body is mainly redox reaction, which will produce a lot of free radicals. Taking lycopene at ordinary times will increase alcohol consumption; Take it before drinking, which has obvious hangover relieving effect and can reduce the damage of alcohol to the liver; Taking it after drunkenness can relieve the symptoms of drunkenness such as headache and vomiting.
9. Lycopene also has many physiological functions such as preventing osteoporosis, lowering blood pressure and relieving asthma caused by exercise.
10, lycopene has no side effects and is very suitable for long-term health care.
Lycopene users:
1, patients with prostate diseases and tumors;
2. Living in an area with serious environmental pollution;
3. Middle-aged and elderly people with low immunity;
4, anti-oxidation, need to delay aging.
