June is Men’s Health Month, and June 10-16 is designated as Men’s Health Week. It’s not quite certain how we guys landed both a week and a month at the same time, but it probably has to do with the need to be told to do something more than once.

Lycored, a global leader in natural, lycopene-based color ingredients for food and beverages, has completed a delicatessen style ham meat alternative stability study on its color portfolio. 

Lycored has also launched a consumer-friendly one-stop shop at lycopene.com. Full of educational resources, including recipes and facts about the benefits of lycopene, the site features a team of cartoon superheroes called the “Just Health League.”

Lycomato is Lycored’s first proprietary blend and remains one of its best-selling products. Certified in the US and EU, it offers a synergistic combination of carotenoids, tocopherols, and phytosterols, sourced from Non-GMO tomatoes.

One was even shown to enhance tomato quality.

LycoRed continues its growth in China, securing a multi-million-dollar agreement with Shanghai Lithy Foods Material Co.

Eating tomatoes and tomato-based foods lowers stroke risks, thanks to lycopene, an antioxidant, suggests a study from Finland.

Healthy women who consumed the omega-3, tomato juice combination had lower levels of cardiovascular disease markers compared with women who consumed only the tomato juice, according to results of a small trial.
