Benefits
Among the multiple benefits that have been discovered of this pigment we find: antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, preventive against some cancers, chemotherapeutic, reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases, prevents neurodegenerative diseases.
Lycopene and aging: continued oxidative stress can contribute to the depletion of cellular levels of lycopene until they are exhausted. Furthermore, taking into account that in the aging process greater oxidation occurs in the body and a decrease in antioxidant systems, it has been proven that lycopene progressively decreases as age increases. Taking a lycopene supplement daily has been seen to help reduce age-related problems such as: increased risk of fractures, osteoporosis, improves lung function, delays skin aging and improves the overall physical capacity of the elderly.
Various studies have shown that taking it daily is associated with a decrease in lipid blood parameters such as triglycerides and LDL cholesterol in serum and liver cholesterol. Thanks to the decrease in these values, the LDL-c/HDL-c ratio decreases, and let us remember that it is an important allergenic marker. The higher the value of this ratio, the greater the risk of atherosclerosis. This benefit is due to lycopene. On the other hand, its consumption has been proven to increase lipid metabolism and reduce lipid accumulation. This effect is due to the fact that it induces the overexpression of genes related to fat oxidation. Thanks to this function, it is related to the prevention of hepatic steatosis, better known as fatty liver. Regarding the relationship between lycopene and the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, the studies are completely conclusive. There is a strong inverse association between lycopene consumption and myocardial infarction, coronary insufficiency and angina pectoris.

There is a strong inverse association between lycopene consumption and myocardial infarction, coronary insufficiency and angina pectoris. Lycopene is one of the most effective carotenoids in preventing cancer and one of the most effective antioxidants. Its relationship has also been demonstrated with the prevention of macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness after the age of 65. Regarding osteoporosis, some findings have been found in the reduction of bone resorption.
