Lycopene

Compare every Lycopene product across UK retailers on Suppio, ranked by true value - price per active dose, not pack size. Prices refreshed daily.

Carotenoid from tomatoes supporting prostate health and cardiovascular function

We rank Lycopene by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.

What it is

Lycopene is a carotenoid, which is a type of natural pigment that gives certain fruits and vegetables their red colour. It is found most abundantly in tomatoes and other red produce.

Why it's used

It is primarily used to support prostate health and improve cardiovascular function, which refers to how well the heart and blood vessels work together to move blood around the body.

How it's made

To create the supplement, manufacturers extract the pigment from concentrated tomato paste or powder. This extract is then refined into a concentrated form and placed into a capsule or tablet for easy consumption.

What it typically costs

Lycopene is generally a mid-range expense. This is because the raw material is sourced from common agricultural crops, but the process of extracting and concentrating the specific pigment requires specialised equipment.
