Lycopene

General Information:
AdvaCare is a GMP manufacturer of Lycopene softgels.

Lycopene is an antioxidant with a laundry list of amazing benefits. It is most commonly found in tomato nutrition, but you can consume it in a number of common fruits and veggies. It has some properties in common with beta-carotene, although they’re not identical.

As a pigment in food, lycopene is responsible for the red color of tomatoes, although not all red fruits and vegetables contain this antioxidant. It’’s even registered as an official food coloring in the U.S.

Antioxidants are so important for many reasons, especially in a world where processed food has eliminated most of what gives your body the ability to prevent and fight disease. Lycopene is an antioxidant that might as well be worth its weight in gold for the incredible things from which it protects your body.

Lycopene benefits include antioxidant capabilities that can protect your body from the damage induced by pesticides. Studies show that it can protect your liver from common corruption by dichlorvos and also reverse or protect from destruction to your adrenal cortex by atrazine. And isn’t it fascinating that your adrenal cortex controls your stress response, and one of the most common pesticides used in food and other areas damages that part of your brain. Another dangerous chemical that you’ve been exposed to before is monosodium glutamate (MSG).
