1. Lycopene is how it works
It is important that lycopene stimulates the synthesis of procollagen, a precursor protein of collagen, which is responsible for skin resistance. This is because it causes blood vessel enlargement. It is due to the fact that it inhibits cholesterol-free skin and helps in the removal of fractional cholesterol from the blood. It improves the mineral density of our bones, which increases the likelihood of osteoporosis.2. Translate this page to Switch Polish: Switch
"Mature tomatoes have a trans lycopene form, but after heat treatment, they are converted to cis. The latter is significantly more soluble in bile acids" (cf. Raphael Lenart, bibliography), which is important for our body because of the better absorption of this ingredient. Fresh tomatoes are naturally healthy, but it is processed like tomatoes or ketchup that deliver greater lycopenes. Carotenoids are fat soluble compounds.
