The key to efficient carotenoid activity is the importance of consuming a combination of natural
carotenoids, in particular, lycopene. Lycopene is an unsaturated carotenoid pigment which imparts the red colour in fruits and vegetables and is similar in composition to beta carotene. Lycopene is more readily absorbed from the intestinal tract as a micelle (microcell) in the presence of mono unsaturated oils such as olive oil as found traditionally in the Mediterranean diet. MicroCell® Lycopene Plus is micellised by the unique MicroCell® process to enhance absorption and improve bioavailability.

· Lycopene is required for the maintenance of healthy eyesight, for maintaining the health of the prostate gland and reducing lipid peroxidation
· Lycopene exhibits excellent antioxidant properties and is an efficient singlet-oxygen quencher
· Lutein and alpha carotene help maintain the integrity of lung tissue and eyesight
· Palm fruit provides a full spectrum of naturally occurring trace carotenoids
· Cold pressed olive oil provides a source of omega-9 fatty acids and enhances the absorption of lycopene
