Healthy Origins is proud to make the first 15mg tomato lycopene capsules and soft gel products available to consumers. Our lycopene features Lyc-O-Mato™, the world's only all-natural tomato lycopene, and the substance Dr. Kucuk used in his landmark study.

The antioxidative properties of Lycopene are well documented in a growing body of scientific publications. Lycopene is present naturally in human plasma in greater amounts than other dietary carotenoids. This indicates perhaps its biological significance in the human defense system.

Lyc-O-Mato™ is a pure tomato product, rich in Lycopene and other natural phytochemicals. Numerous epidemiological studies have demonstrated the beneficial effects of tomato Lycopene on health and well-being, and many of these controlled studies have used our product Lyc-O-Mato™ as their source of Lycopene.

A recent study by Dr. M. Aviram and his team at the Rambam Medical Center, Israel, demonstrated that Lyc-O-Mato™ natural tomato oleoresin greatly increases the resistance of LDL to oxidation. This protective effect of tomato Lyc-O-Mato™ was significantly greater than that of crystalline Beta-carotene or crystalline Lycopene derived from other sources (M. Aviram, unpublished data).
