| Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant found in tomatoes and pink grapefruit. Like the better-known supplement beta-carotene , lycopene belongs to the family of chemicals known as carotenoids . As an antioxidant, it is about twice as powerful as beta-carotene.
Functions:
Lycopene (taken at a dose of 16 grams daily) has shown promise for oral submucous fibrosis, a severe condition of the mouth primarily associated with excessive chewing of betel nuts. Much weaker evidence – far too weak to rely upon at all – hints that lycopene or a standardized tomato extract containing lycopene might be helpful for treating a number of conditions, including prostate cance, hypertension , breast cancer and male infertility , and for preventing heart disease , sunburn , and testicular damage caused by the cancer chemotherapy drug adriamycin. Weak evidence hints that lycopene might help protect against side-effects caused by the drug doxorubicin , specifically damage to the heart and to developing sperm cells. Results of studies have been inconsistent regarding the effects of lycopene and exercise-induced asthma . One observational study failed to find that high consumption of lycopene reduced risk of developing diabetes
