What foods contain lycopene

What Is Lycopene Powder?

Lycopene powder is a naturally occurring carotenoid pigment responsible for the vibrant red color of tomatoes, watermelon, pink grapefruit, guava, and other red fruits. It is widely recognized as one of the most potent antioxidants found in nature, helping protect cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals.

Unlike some carotenoids, lycopene is not converted into vitamin A, but it offers exceptional antioxidant activity, making it a highly sought-after ingredient in dietary supplements, functional foods, beverages, nutraceuticals, and cosmetic formulations.

Main Functions of Lycopene Powder
