Lycopene, a vibrant carotenoid, is celebrated for its powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Found in tomatoes, rose hips, guava and watermelon, this important phytonutrient is believed to support overall health and to protect against chronic diseases.
Lycopene gets its name from the botanical name of the tomato - Lycopersicon esculentum - and is a major reason why tomatoes and many other fruits are red in color.
