With the development and progress of society, men are increasingly facing social pressure and family pressure. In order to let their families live a better life, staying up late and working overtime for a long time, etc., have led to more and more male diseases, and prostate disease has undoubtedly become the most severe of the serious male diseases. According to relevant surveys, more than 80% of men over the age of 30 and 40 have prostate disease. The development of this kind of situation, in recent years, the appearance of lycopene has a very obvious health effect on male friends and based on strong antioxidant properties, it can play a lot of health effects.
Tomato extract lycopene is actually a kind of natural pigment contained in food. It belongs to carotenoids and exists in the human body. It has become the most important life element in the human body by related experts. The amount of lycopene in the human body has an important decisive effect on the health of the male prostate, lungs, skin and other organs. The human body cannot synthesize lycopene, and with the increase of age, people's demand for lycopene is also increasing. It is difficult to meet the demand through a daily diet, so the most effective method is to supplement exogenous Lycopene.
For the clinical application of lycopene, current research evidence shows that: lycopene can improve patients' lower urinary tract symptoms, reduce prostate-specific antigen levels in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer, and delay disease progression. Studies have shown that tomato extract lycopene may arrest the cell cycle by inhibiting cyclin D1, thereby inhibiting the growth of prostate cells (ie hyperplasia), or through its antioxidant function (inhibiting androgen-induced signal events related to oxidative stress) Regulate gland proliferation. For prostate cancer, there is currently no complete theory to clarify the interaction between lycopene and prostate cancer, but lycopene may exert anti-prostate cancer resistance by anti-oxidation, inhibiting tumor cell proliferation, and affecting tumor-related gene and protein expression.
