About Lycopene

Carotenoid

A red carotenoid found especially in tomatoes; associated with antioxidant activity and studied for cardiovascular and other health markers.

⚠️ Too little

No recognised deficiency disease; it is not an essential nutrient.

🚫 Too much

Food sources are generally safe; very high intakes may cause harmless skin discolouration in rare cases.

Sources: NIH/PMC
