Biological Properties
1. Pure Lycopene has antioxidant properties
Lycopene quenches singlet oxygen or captures peroxide radicals through physical and chemical means. Singlet oxygen is a highly active oxygen free radical with cytotoxic effects. Cell membranes, mitochondria and other parts are most sensitive to it. It can interact with a variety of biological macromolecules in cells and cause damage to the cell membrane system by combining with molecules. ; Lycopene can accept the energy of different electronic excited states, absorb light energy and transfer the energy of singlet oxygen to lycopene through the singlet-singlet energy transfer process to generate ground state oxygen molecules and triplet lycopene molecules. Triplet lycopene is regenerated through a series of optical and vibrational reactions with solvents, dissipating energy in the process;The quenching ability of carotenoids is closely related to the number of conjugated double bonds contained in its molecule. There are 11 conjugated double bonds in the lycopene molecule. One lycopene molecule can scavenge thousands of singlet oxygen. , its rate constant for quenching singlet oxygen is 2 times higher than that of β-carotene.
It can also eliminate oxidative free radicals through chemical reactions with other forms of reactive oxygen species, such as hydrogen peroxide, nitrite and other oxidative free radicals. Oxidative free radicals can cause lipid peroxidation to form a variety of products. These products It is related to human aging, the occurrence of cancer lesions, autoimmune diseases, anemia and other diseases.
2. Lycopene regulates cell growth and metabolism
There are usually channels composed of membrane proteins between cells, which have selective permeability and allow second messengers and growth regulatory substances to pass. Cells transmit growth regulatory signals within the cell population through gap junction communication (GJIC) to regulate cell growth. Normal proliferation and differentiation. Experiments have shown that lycopene inhibits tumor growth by inducing intercellular connections, enhancing GJIC between normal cells, controlling cell growth and inducing cell differentiation.
3. Lycopene can regulate cholesterol metabolism
It is a hypocholesterolemic agent that inhibits macrophage 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA, a rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis. Experiments have found that adding lycopene to the medium for culturing macrophages reduces their cholesterol synthesis. At the same time, lycopene also increases macrophage low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor activity.
4. Health care effects of lycopene
The above biological properties of lycopene determine that it has various health functions such as antioxidant, inhibiting mutation, reducing nucleic acid damage, reducing cardiovascular disease and preventing cancer.
5. The role of preventing and inhibiting tumors
It has the effect of preventing and inhibiting tumors. On the one hand, it is because of its antioxidant effect; on the other hand, lycopene can block the gene mutation process of tissue cells under the action of external mutagens, which is the cause of tumor formation. One of the important mechanisms. Experiments have found that lycopene can affect the S phase of breast, lung and uterine cancer cell cycles; lycopene affects cell growth by inhibiting the Gl to S conversion phase in the cell cycle; lycopene can inhibit the oxidation of LDL cholesterol And the formation of heterocyclic amines produced in the browning reaction of grilled meat and fish, thereby effectively inhibiting the production of carcinogens and inducing tumors.
Lycopene Manufacture Flow Chart
Applicable people
Best Lycopene is a type of carotenoid. It was first isolated from tomatoes, so it is called "lycopene". The antioxidant capacity of lycopene is 3.2 times that of carotene and 100 times that of vitamin E. The human body cannot produce lycopene and needs to be absorbed from the diet. If you eat a raw tomato, you can only absorb 0.05 mg of lycopene; One capsule of lycopene is equivalent to eating 15 raw tomatoes. Mainly used in patients with prostate disease and tumors; people living in areas with serious environmental pollution; middle-aged and elderly people with low immunity; people who need anti-oxidation and delay aging.
Pharmacological effects
Lycopene Protein Powder is a type of carotenoid. It is a strong antioxidant with a strong ability to scavenge free radicals. It has a significant effect on the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, uterine cancer, etc. It effectively inhibits the spread and replication of cancer cells, prevents cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, improves immunity, protects cell DNA from free radical damage, and prevents cell lesions and mutations; it contains powerful antioxidant biological substances that can promote cell growth and Regenerate, beautify and remove wrinkles, maintain skin health, delay aging and other effects.
1. Prevent and inhibit lesions: The latest research results show that taking 30 mg of lycopene every day can prevent prostate lesions, digestive tract lesions, bladder and other lesions. The human body cannot synthesize lycopene and must absorb it from the diet. Eating a raw tomato can only absorb 0.05 mg of lycopene. Therefore, supplementing lycopene is essential in the treatment of prostate diseases.
2. Protect cardiovascular vessels: In the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis, lipoprotein oxidation in the vascular intima is a key factor. Lycopene plays an important role in reducing lipoprotein oxidation. It is reported that oral administration of natural lycopene can reduce serum cholesterol to less than 5.20 mmol/L. It is used to prevent and treat high cholesterol and hyperlipidemia, and can slow down the development of cardiovascular diseases.
3. Anti-ultraviolet radiation function: It can resist ultraviolet damage. Researchers supplemented 10 healthy people with 28 mg of beta-carotene and 2 mg of lycopene for 1-2 months each. As a result, the area and severity of ultraviolet-induced erythema in the group taking lycopene was reduced.
4. Inhibit mutagenesis: One of the important mechanisms of tumor formation is the genetic mutation of tissue cells under the action of external mutagens, and lycopene can block this process and exert an anti-cancer effect. For example, residents in the Mediterranean region use tomato sauce while frying and grilling fish and meat, which reduces the formation of mutagens such as miscellaneous amines during the cooking process.
5. Delay aging and enhance immunity: Lycopene can most effectively remove free radicals in the human body, maintain normal cell metabolism, and prevent aging. Lycopene is absorbed into the blood and lymph through the mucous membrane of the digestive tract in the body, and is distributed to the testicles, adrenal glands, prostate, pancreas, breasts, ovaries, liver, lungs, colon, skin and various mucosal tissues, promoting the glands to secrete hormones, thereby making The human body maintains strong energy; removes free radicals from these organs and tissues, protects them from damage, and enhances the body's immunity. Indian scholars pointed out that lycopene can increase the number and vitality of sperm in infertile men, thereby treating infertility problems.
6. Lycopene can greatly improve skin allergies, eliminate dry skin and itching caused by skin allergies, and make people feel relaxed and happy.
7.It exists in large amounts in various mucosal tissues in the body. Long-term use can improve various discomforts caused by the destruction of mucosal tissues in the body. Such as dry cough, dry eyes, oral ulcers, protection of gastrointestinal mucosal tissue, etc.
8.It also has a strong hangover effect. The metabolic process of alcohol in the human body is mainly a redox reaction, which produces a large number of free radicals. Taking lycopene at ordinary times can increase the amount of alcohol you drink; taking it before drinking has a significant hangover effect and can reduce alcohol's damage to the liver; taking it after being drunk can reduce symptoms of drunkenness such as headaches and vomiting.
9. Pure Lycopene Powder also has various physiological functions such as preventing osteoporosis, lowering blood pressure, and alleviating exercise-induced asthma.
10. It has no side effects and is very suitable for long-term health care.
