"Lycopene, one of the most prominent carotenoids found in nature, has shown remarkable results in clinical trials investigating the degenerative effects of the free radical “singlet oxygen”. Antioxidant status is influenced by a variety of factors, including dietary intake, stress, daily activities and health conditions. People who tend to have low antioxidant status are smokers, dieters or people who eat few fruits and vegetables, the elderly, persons that exercise regularly, those who spend considerable time outdoors, or persons with compromised health. Supplementing carotenoids is indicated for these people. Jarrow Formulas’ LycoSorb is in a Pro-Liposome Delivery System (PLDS), a patented emulsion of phospholipids. PLDS was developed to ensure maximum bioavailability and utilization by the body of nutrients. "
