Pro for prostate health
Arnon Aharon, clinical director at LycoRed, says: “Lyc-O-Pro’s optimised composition provides daily support for normal prostate and bladder function, and was awarded five carotenoid extraction and formulation patents.”
The key ingredient is the standardised tomato extract, which contains the potent antioxidant, lycopene, and other phytonutrients that enhance the effect of the lycopene. The composition offers a ratio of natural tomato phytonutrients that scientific research suggests deliver the greatest prostate health benefit from lycopene. The important balancing of these phytonutrients includes a 1:1 ratio of vitamin E and lycopene, both important antioxidants to maintain prostate health.
Thoroughly tested
The extract is taken from red tomatoes in an extraction process that protects the sensitive tomato phytochemicals from damage. No chemical reactions enter the patented production process. LycoRed states that natural tomato extract has been thoroughly tested and found to be a safe and beneficial health supplement by leading scientific authorities.
Results of epidemiological studies suggest that the intake of tomatoes and tomato products, including tomato extract, protect prostate health, according to LycoRed. The company also says there is extensive scientific support for the combination of turmeric and tomato extracts as a front-line, natural approach to maintaining prostate health. A small amount of pepper extract also has been added to the Lyc-O-Pro formulation to both increase the bioavailability and efficacy of curcumin under physiological conditions.
