Mega Lycopene

<div style="line-height:1.7;color:#333333;"> <p> Mega Lycopene by <a href="https://morgenisnu.nl/en/brands/life-extension/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Life Extension</a> is a supplement containing 15 mg of lycopene per softgel. The lycopene comes from tomato extract (<em>Solanum lycopersicum</em>, formerly <em>Lycopersicon esculentum</em>). Lycopene is a natural plant compound that belongs to the carotenoid family and is responsible for the characteristic red colour of tomatoes. Life Extension uses this ingredient in an oil-based formula supplied in easy-to-swallow softgels. </p> <h2 style="color:#70459A;font-size:1.35em;font-weight:600;margin:28px 0 12px 0;"> What is lycopene?<br /> </h2> <p> Lycopene is a fat-soluble plant pigment from the carotenoid family. This group of natural pigments is found in a variety of fruit and vegetables. Lycopene is best known for its presence in tomatoes, but is also found in watermelon, pink grapefruit and guava. </p> <p> The amount of lycopene in tomatoes varies according to variety, ripeness and processing. The concentration of this red pigment generally increases as tomatoes ripen. Unlike some other carotenoids, such as beta-carotene, lycopene is not converted into vitamin A by the body. </p> <h2 style="color:#70459A;font-size:1.35em;font-weight:600;margin:28px 0 12px 0;"> Tomato extract in an oil-based softgel<br /> </h2> <p> Life Extension uses lycopene derived from tomato extract for Mega Lycopene. The product also lists Lyc-O-Mato®, a registered trademark of Lycored. </p> <p> As lycopene is a fat-soluble substance, Life Extension has chosen a formula with rice bran oil. The oil helps dissolve this carotenoid and allows it to be incorporated into a softgel. </p> <p> Each softgel contains 15 mg of lycopene. The formula also contains sunflower lecithin and beeswax, among other ingredients. As it contains gelatine and beeswax, this product is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. </p> <h2 style="color:#70459A;font-size:1.35em;font-weight:600;margin:28px 0 12px 0;"> Why Life Extension is a good fit for Morgen is Nu<br /> </h2> <p> Life Extension has been developing food supplements based on scientific research for more than 40 years.
