EL LYCOPE

EL LYCOPE helps in preventing oxidative stress, protects the skin texture and skin ageing. It not only prevents age related macular degeneration and cataracts but also  stops LDL cholesterol from being oxidized by free radicals which further leads to chronic diseases. 

LYCOPENE- It is a source of antioxidants which neutralizes the activity of reactive compounds called free radicals, which create oxidative stress within our body and also protects other structures in the body having  beneficial effects on human healthby preventing  cardiovascular disease and cancer of the prostate, breast, lung, bladder, ovaries, colon, as well as pancreas. Lycopene supplementation can lower the risk of coronary artery disease, probably due to its excellent antioxidant properties. It has blood pressure-lowering effects and also beneficial for protecting from  harmful effects of sun exposure on our skin.  

LYSINE –  It’s an essential amino acid which our body does not make and are building blocks of protein. Lysine is important for proper growth, and it plays an essential role in the production of carnitine, a nutrient responsible for converting fatty acids into energy and helping lower cholesterol. Lysine appears to help the body absorb calcium, and it plays an important role in the formation of collagen, a substance important for bones and connective tissues including skin, tendons, and cartilage. 

VITAMINS  

VITAMIN A –  Supports cell growth, immune function, fetal development, and vision. It  helps protect and maintain the cornea, which is the outermost layer of your eye, and the conjunctiva, a thin membrane that covers the surface of your eye and the inside of your eyelids. It also maintains surface tissues such as your skin, intestines, lungs, bladder, and inner ear, also skin cell health, male and female reproductive health, and fetal development. 

VITAMIN B1 –  Vitamin B1, is a water-soluble vitamin, helps in growth and function of various cells. Its essential for glucose metabolism,  nerve, muscle and heart function. It enables the body to use carbohydrates as energy and helps prevent complications in the nervous system, brain, muscles, heart, stomach and intestines.  

VITAMIN B2- It helps in maintaining the body’s energy supply, healthy liver, keeping the eyes, nerves, muscles and skin healthy, absorbing and activating iron, folic acid, and vitamins B1, B3 and B6, hormone production by the adrenal glands and preventing the development of cataracts. 

It also includes vitamin B3, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin C, vitamin D3 and vitamin E which further assists in maintaining overall health providing with their benefits of proper cell function, development of brain and nerve cells, controlling infections, absorbing calcium and phosphorus and benefiting skin and cognitive health altogether. 

How many tablets/capsules does one pack of EL LYCOPE contain? 
It contains 30 tablets/capsules  per pack. It is recommended to take one tablet/capsule per day or as directed by the health professional.

*The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) is the amount of a vitamin or mineral which has been calculated to help prevent basic deficiency states in the general population. However, certain vitamins and minerals at optimal levels, above the RDA, have consistently been shown to have positive benefits in specific areas of health. 

What other lifestyle changes can I make to help prevent oxidative stress ? 

Oxidative stress plays an essential role in conversion of infection into chronic diseases. The  modern lifestyle associated with processed food, exposure to a wide range of chemicals , exposure to a combination of chemicals from different pesticides, heavy metals, food additives, environmental pollution and lack of exercise plays an important role in oxidative stress induction. 

Nutrients that are high in antioxidants include- vitamins A,C and E, lycopene selenium, zinc. Many foods contain these nutrients, including- berries like strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries, leafy greens like spinach, cabbage, and kale, citrus fruits like lemons, oranges, tangerines, and grapefruit, bell peppers, pumpkin and squash, tomatoes, broccoli and seeds like pumpkin seeds etc.
