Lycopene
(from Solanum lycopersicum)

Main benefits:
Antioxidants. Prostate. Skin. Heart. Detox.

Origin and Source:
Extracted from the ripe red flesh and skin of tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum), Lycopene is a fat-soluble carotenoid with potent antioxidant activity. At NØØT, we use concentrated tomato extract standardized for bioavailable lycopene, ensuring maximum support for cellular defense, skin resilience, and hormone-sensitive systems.

NØØT Classification:

Lycopene is a Functional Antioxidant Complex, chosen for its targeted role in oxidative stress, hormone detox, and inflammation reduction. While it does not fall within our core categories (Adaptogen, Nootropic, or Phytogen), it is included in NØØT formulations for its proven impact on cellular protection, cardiovascular balance, skin aging, and hormonal health.

Key Benefits and Science

Prostate & Hormone-Sensitive Health

Lycopene is commonly used in men’s health protocols for its role in prostate support, hormonal detoxification, and estrogen balance.
Shown to help regulate DHT metabolism and protect hormone-sensitive tissues from oxidative stress.

Skin Protection & Anti-Aging

Acts as an internal shield against UV damage — helping reduce photo-aging, collagen breakdown, and skin dullness.
Frequently used in glow and longevity formulas to preserve elasticity and support cellular repair.

Cardiovascular & Inflammation Support

Supports healthy vascular function by reducing LDL oxidation and systemic inflammation.
Research suggests it plays a role in lowering cardiovascular risk markers, especially in high-stress or aging populations.

Cellular Detox & DNA Protection

Neutralizes free radicals that drive DNA damage, mitochondrial stress, and premature cellular aging.
Supports liver detoxification of fat-soluble toxins and hormone metabolites.

Why It’s Good for You

Lycopene is your cellular bodyguard — working behind the scenes to defend your DNA, protect your skin, and balance your hormones. Whether you’re supporting your glow, your heart, or your long-term resilience, this antioxidant powerhouse is a clean, plant-derived way to fight back against the stress of modern living.

Usage

At NØØT, Lycopene is included in blends for skin longevity, hormonal detox, prostate support, and cellular defense. It works best when paired with fat-soluble nutrients like Vitamin E, Astaxanthin, and Omega-3s for optimal absorption.
