What are the effects of lycopene capsules?

Lycopene capsules may be relatively unfamiliar to many friends. It is a drug with antioxidant, tumor prevention and melasma treatment effects, and it has many benefits. As for lycopene, it can effectively prevent and treat skin damage caused by ultraviolet rays, and can also inhibit tumor mutagenesis.

Lycopene:

It is a natural pigment in food. It belongs to a type of carotenoid in chemical structure and is a fat-soluble unsaturated hydrocarbon. It is called the gold of tomatoes.

The latest research shows that lycopene has the strongest antioxidant properties among natural carotenoids and is one of the most effective antioxidant active substances known to date. The human body cannot synthesize lycopene on its own and must obtain it from vegetables and fruits.

Free radicals and reactive oxygen species are byproducts of the human body's metabolic processes. They can react with intracellular macromolecules and destroy the integrity of cells and human tissues. The lycopene molecule is the only carotenoid that can exist in a special subcellular environment. It is a very effective scavenger of oxygen in the blood and various body tissues.

1. The functional test of lycopene shows that when exposed to strong radiation, lycopene can significantly increase the number of white blood cells in the human blood and effectively protect the SOD in the human body. Therefore, lycopene has the effect of preventing ultraviolet damage to the skin and anti-radiation effect.

2. Lycopene's anti-tumor and anti-mutagenic effects. One of the physiological mechanisms of tumor formation is that tissue cells undergo genetic mutations under the influence of external mutagens. Lycopene can block this process and exert an anti-cancer effect.

3. Lycopene’s protective effect on cardiovascular health. Lycopene can protect low-density lipoprotein from oxidative damage, thereby preventing the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases.

4. It is generally recognized that lycopene has an inhibitory effect on prostate and breast diseases.

Sea buckthorn berry oil:

It is extracted from the seabuckthorn fruit, most of which is composed of unsaturated fatty acids and has extremely high medicinal value. Seabuckthorn is an extremely precious plant that can be used as both medicine and food, and is listed in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Sea buckthorn berry oil has the following physiological effects:

1. Sea buckthorn oil acts on the immune system and can enhance immunity.

2. Sea buckthorn berry oil can reduce the degree of myocardial damage. Sea buckthorn oil contains a large amount of various antioxidant ingredients, which can directly act on the body to prevent peroxidation reactions, accelerate the removal of free radical peroxides in the body, thereby inhibiting the inflammatory response in the necrotic area and reducing the degree of myocardial damage.

3. Sea buckthorn berry oil has a significant protective effect on liver cell damage caused by ethanol.
