The Real Thing

Rats fed diets including whole tomato powder have a lower risk of prostate cancer than rats fed diets containing synthetic lycopene. The study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute indicates that it is the combination of the nutrients found in tomatoes, not just lycopene, that can help lower the risk of death from prostate cancer. Lyc-O-Mato[r] is the only standardized all-natural tomato complex that delivers all these phytonutrients, just as they are found in nature. Only the tomato's natural sugar and water are missing. A solid body of research supports the findings that tomato-based foods are highly beneficial in fighting prostate disease. Supplementation with Lyc-O-Mato offers a premium source of these phytonutrients. LycoRed Natural Products Industries Ltd., Lorri Danzig, 203-389-6558, lbdanzig@lbdanzig.com, www.lycored.com
