Powerful Carotene Antioxidant
This special carotene extract from organic tomatoes provides 5 mg of Lycopene, the most powerful singlet oxygen (free-radical) quencher carotene available. Lycopene is more than twice as powerful as Beta Carotene as an antioxidant.
Protective Organic Tomato Nutrition
Protectamins uses special hybrid tomato plants selectively bred to provide a high Lycopene content. Organic growing, selective watering patterns, strong sunlight, and vine ripening ensure maximum Lycopene production in the fruit. Protectamins provide protective food nutrients in highly assimilable and convenient capsule form.
Exclusive Extraction Process
Our unique extraction process allows us to remove the Lycopene in a carrier medium of the tomato oil, then blend it to provide a standardized 7% Lycopene content. The deep rich red color of the capsule is the natural color from the Lycopene.
What are Free Radicals?
Free radicals or oxidants are unstable molecules that damage cells and DNA. The effects of oxidants on the body have been compared to “rusting out”. They are products of normal metabolism, exercise and immune reactions. They also come from outside the body through environmental factors.
What are Antioxidants?
Antioxidants stabilize free radicals and protect surrounding cells from damage. When the body has a robust supply of antioxidants, they inhibit free radical formation.
What are Carotenes?
Carotenes are powerful antioxidants found in plants and vegetables.
Why is Lycopene Important?
