Lycopene is a carotenoid from the same family as beta-carotene, but possesses a unique chemical structure. This structure has been identified as the reason for Lycopene's ability to quench free radicals. Free radicals are responsible for a host of degenerative ailments ranging from arteriosclerosis and artery blockage to cataracts and cancer.

A healthy person's body has a natural system to deactivate free radicals. However, many factors can increase the amount of free radicals the body has to cope with. These include stress, pollution, irradiation, smoking and advancing age. Increased protection from free radical damage has to be obtained from food and nutritional supplements. The best defense is to eat a healthy, organic, vegetable based diet, exercise daily, and incorporate stress reduction techniques into your daily schedule. Taking supplements with additional Lycopene is a wise adjunctive "insurance policy".

Recent findings from prestigious medical authorities such as Harvard Medical School and the International Journal of Cancer have shown that Lycopene enhances our body's natural ability to neutralize free radicals, thereby protecting us from the onset of various disorders. Lycopene is naturally found in the body, in higher concentrations than any other carotenoid compound, with the highest concentrations focused in specific organs, including the testis, adrenal glands, liver, ovaries, fat cells and kidneys.
