Description
Lycopene, the red pigment in tomatoes, gets a broad health audit in a 2026 review by Saleh A. Almatroodi and two colleagues. Drawing on cell and animal studies, the authors survey how the carotenoid acts on oxidative stress and inflammation, and where it might help across organ systems.
Reported benefits span protection for kidneys, liver, heart, and brain, plus roles against arthritis, obesity, and several cancers. The review also covers pairings with other compounds and nano-sized formulations meant to raise absorption. Poor water solubility and low uptake remain the main barriers, and the authors call for firmer dosing, safety, and interaction data from trials.
