Tomato extract delivers a standardized, concentrated dose of lycopene, the carotenoid that gives tomatoes their red color. It provides far more lycopene than whole tomatoes, in a form your body absorbs more efficiently when you take it alongside a meal with some fat.
Many people take it to help maintain healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels already in the normal range. Its antioxidant activity also helps shield skin from UV-related stress. Take it with a meal containing fat to get the most out of each dose.
