Lycopene

Lycopene, extracted from tomatoes, is a potent antioxidant that has been shown in epidemiological and clinical studies to improve prostate health and cardiovascular function. Lycopene has also been positively associated with reduced risk of prostate, breast, and lung cancers, and might be protective of gastrointestinal and cervical cancers as well.

More information about Lycopene The following scientific findings make lycopene the single most important molecular candidate for prevention of prostate cancer:

Suppresses Insulin-Like Growth Factor stimulated growth in a dose dependent fashion.
Inhibits chemically induced tumors in rats.
Inhibits spontaneous mammary tumor development in mice.
Inhibits promotion stage of chemically induced tumor development in mice.
Possesses anti-proliferative properties against mammary, endometrial, lung and transformed liver human cancer cells.
Upregulates connexin 43 gene expression or carotenoids inducible gene which is involved in GAP junctional communication.
Decreases the transforming growth factor (gene expression).
Lycopene is effective at very low doses.
