Lycopene for prostate health

Lycopene is a carotenoid antioxidant that is beneficial for prostate health.

Lycopene gives many fruits and vegetables their red colour, and is particularly high in tomatoes. The lycopene content of tomatoes is greatly increased through cooking, so you can boost your intake with tomato soup, tomato based pasta sauce, tomato based curries and roasted tomato salads.
