Why supplement?

Marked asPrimarySupporting

Primary

Raise skin tolerance to photo-oxidation

Heated flesh makes cis-lycopene easier to absorb; pectin slows release. People who redden easily after outdoor sun more often notice erythema and skin hydration after several continuous weeks. Heat and fat raise the cis-isomer share, and only then does redness slow.

Primary

Care for LDL oxidation

Lycopene enters lipoprotein particles; trials often measure oxidised-LDL markers. People watching a cardiovascular family history more often notice lipid reports and post-activity breathlessness after several continuous weeks. Oxidised LDL needs a blood test to be objective; breathlessness can be compared day to day.
