How does Lyc-O-Mato® compare to just plain lycopene?
A. Lyc-O-Mato® tomato extract contains all the natural richness of the tomato: lycopene, phytoene, phytofluene, beta-carotene, tocopherols and other important bioactive phytochemicals. Lycopene alone, whether natural – from tomatoes or fungus – or synthetic, is.. just plain lycopene, providing less of a health benefit. It is the synergy of the multi-phytonutrients found in tomatoes, tomato products and in Lyc-O-Mato® that is responsible for the health benefits that have been reported in epidemiological and clinical studies that were conducted on tomatoes and tomato products. Also important from a practical health perspective are recent scientific findings that indicate that lycopene bioavailability is enhanced by the presence of the other natural phytonutrients that are found in the tomato extract.
