NOW Foods Lycopene 10 mg provides this powerful carotenoid antioxidant — found most abundantly in cooked tomatoes — at a clinically studied dose in an oil-based softgel for optimal fat-soluble absorption. Lycopene is one of the most potent antioxidants in the carotenoid family, with particularly strong evidence for its role in prostate health: numerous studies show an inverse relationship between lycopene intake and prostate cancer risk, and lycopene accumulates preferentially in prostate tissue. It also provides cardiovascular protection by preventing LDL oxidation and has been studied for skin photoprotection from UV damage. NOW Foods delivers natural lycopene (not synthetic) in a softgel with oil to maximize absorption of this fat-soluble nutrient. Each softgel provides 10 mg — within the range used in prostate health research.
