Q: What does lycopene do for the human body?
A: Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant that gives red fruits like tomatoes their color. Its primary role is to neutralize free radicals, protecting cells from damage. This is linked to supporting prostate health, heart health (by helping maintain normal cholesterol levels), and promoting skin health by providing protection against UV damage.
Q: Is it safe to take lycopene every day?
A: Yes, for most people, daily supplementation is safe and well-tolerated. The beneficial effects of lycopene are typically observed with consistent, long-term intake. Always adhere to the recommended dosage on the product label.
Q: Can lycopene cause side effects?
A: Lycopene is generally very safe. Extremely high intakes (from excessive supplementation) may cause a harmless, temporary orange discoloration of the skin known as lycopenodermia. This is not dangerous and fades once intake is reduced. Mild digestive upset has been reported in rare cases.
Q: What is the best way to absorb lycopene?
A: Lycopene is fat-soluble, meaning it is best absorbed when consumed with a source of dietary fat. The most effective way is to take lycopene supplements with a meal that contains healthy fats (like olive oil, avocado, or nuts). Additionally, cooked or processed tomato products (like tomato paste) have higher lycopene bioavailability than raw tomatoes.
Always check the supplement label for the amount of elemental selenium and consult your healthcare provider before use, as needs can vary.
