Lycopene is the natural red color of tomatoes. It is synthesized by the plant, among other things, to protect against harmful environmental influences. Lycopene has high antioxidant activity, eliminating reactive oxygen species and thereby reducing the risk of free radical damage to organs and tissues. It also has a positive effect on the cardiovascular system. Phytochemicals such as beta-carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin are classified as carotenoids. The bioavailability of the natural carotenoid lycopene can be increased by adding oils, which is particularly beneficial in dietary management. The body's ability to absorb carotenoids depends on the proportion of various fatty acids in the diet. In the human body, lycopene is primarily found in the adrenal glands, liver, testes, and prostate.
