NOW Foods Lycopene 20 mg
Description
NOW Lycopene 20 mg softgels provide a concentrated dose of lycopene, the carotenoid that gives tomatoes their red color, for adults who want an antioxidant supplement that also supports cardiovascular and prostate health.
Each softgel delivers lycopene from a tomato extract, standardized for consistent potency and blended into a base of organic extra virgin olive oil.
Each softgel supplies 20 mg of lycopene from tomato extract in a base of organic extra virgin olive oil, with no daily value established for lycopene.
Take it with a meal, since carotenoids like lycopene are fat-soluble and absorb better alongside dietary fat.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does lycopene actually do?
Lycopene is a carotenoid antioxidant found naturally in tomatoes. It helps neutralize free radicals and supports normal cardiovascular and immune function as part of an antioxidant-rich diet.
Should I take it with food?
Yes. Lycopene is fat-soluble, so taking it with a meal that contains some fat can help with absorption, and NOW's suggested use calls for taking it with food.
How is 20 mg different from NOW's 10 mg Lycopene?
They are the same tomato-derived lycopene at two different softgel strengths. The 20 mg softgel delivers double the lycopene per softgel, so fewer softgels are needed to reach a given daily amount.
Is this vegan?
No. The softgel shell is made with bovine gelatin, so this product is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians.
Who should check with a doctor before taking this?
NOW recommends this product for adults only, and anyone who is pregnant or nursing, taking medication, or managing a medical condition should consult a physician before use.
