What is Lycopene Powder?

Lycopene powder is a natural carotenoid pigment primarily extracted from ripe tomatoes and other red fruits such as watermelon, pink grapefruit, and guava. Known for its vibrant red color and potent antioxidant properties, lycopene is widely used in dietary supplements, functional foods, beverages, cosmetics, and nutraceutical formulations.

Unlike beta-carotene, lycopene does not convert into vitamin A. Instead, it is valued for its ability to neutralize free radicals, helping protect cells from oxidative stress and supporting overall health. Due to its stability and high bioavailability, lycopene powder has become a popular ingredient in premium wellness products.
