Lycopene is a natural carotenoid pigment that is found in a variety of vegetables and fruits. Ripe tomatoes have the highest content, with about 20 mg of lycopene per kilogram. However, the effect of eating tomatoes to supplement lycopene may not be significant enough. So, how to eat lycopene with good effect? The content of lycopene capsules is much higher than that of ordinary raw tomatoes. Eating one lycopene capsule is equivalent to eating 80 raw tomatoes. So if you want to quickly replenish lycopene, the best way is to take lycopene soft capsules.

Experts recommend a daily intake of more than 15 mg of lycopene. Generally speaking, taking lycopene soft capsules twice a day, two to three capsules each time, can achieve this level. The concentration of lycopene in the human body is variable. Generally, the highest concentration in the blood can be reached 24-48 hours after taking it, and its serum half-life is about 2-3 days. Repeated taking will increase the concentration of lycopene in the human body. Moreover, lycopene has no side effects, so long-term use of lycopene is more effective, and it is best to insist on it for more than 60 days.

In addition, the time of taking lycopene every day is also important. Generally, it is best to take it with warm water after breakfast and dinner. It is easier to absorb when taken after meals, and the best effect is when taken after breakfast and dinner. If you want to achieve better health care effects, it is best to take it at a time when it is better absorbed!
