Prevention and inhibition of cancer: The latest research shows that the daily intake of 30 mg of lycopene can prevent multiple cancers such as prostate cancer, digestive tract cancer and bladder cancer. The human body cannot synthesize lycopene, it must be taken from the diet, and a raw tomato can only absorb 0.05 mg of lycopene. Therefore, in the treatment of prostate diseases, lycopene supplementation is essential.
Protecting the cardiovascular: Lipid oxidation in the lining of the blood vessels is a key factor in the development and progression of atherosclerosis. Lycopene plays an important role in reducing lipoprotein oxidation. According to reports, oral natural lycopene can lower serum cholesterol to less than 5.20 mmol / liter. Natural lycopene is used to prevent high cholesterol and hyperlipidemia, which can slow the development of cardiovascular disease.
Anti-ultraviolet radiation function: Lycopene can fight UV damage. The researchers added 28 mg of β-carotene and 2 mg of lycopene to 10 healthy people for 1-2 months. As a result, the area of erythema caused by ultraviolet light in the lycopene population was reduced.
Inhibition of mutagenesis: One of the important mechanisms of tumorigenesis is that tissue cells undergo gene mutations under the action of external mutagens, and lycopene can block this process and exert anticancer effects. For example, residents of the Mediterranean region use tomato sauce while frying fish and meat, which reduces the formation of mutagens such as misamines during cooking. Therefore, although local residents like to eat cancer-prone food, the incidence of cervical cancer, prostate cancer and liver cancer is very low.
