Lycopene • Acyclic carotenoid (A family of natural pigments found in plants and animals) • A powerful (?) antioxidant (Böhm et al 2002) • Prevention of cardiovascular disease and cancer (Kohlmeier et al. 1997; Giovannucci 1999)
Metabolism • Higher bioavailability of lycopene in heated or processed food. (Agarwal and Rao 1998; Porrini and Riso 2000) • Lipids in the diet increase the absorption of lycopene
