Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from nutraceutical and supplement brands in Europe about Relyto® natural lycopene extract.

What is lycopene extract?
Lycopene extract is a natural carotenoid pigment obtained primarily from tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum). It is the compound responsible for the deep red colour of ripe tomatoes and is one of the most researched dietary antioxidants. Lycopene is widely used in dietary supplements, functional foods, and nutraceutical formulations for cardiovascular, skin, prostate and eye health support across Europe and globally.
What are the main health benefits of lycopene?
The key health benefits of lycopene include: cardiovascular support as a high-potency antioxidant for heart health; broad antioxidant protection against free radicals and oxidative stress; support for metabolic health; contribution to prostate health; and support for skin health and photoprotection as well as eye health. As one of the most studied natural carotenoids, lycopene is a highly valued ingredient for health supplement brands.
What is the difference between Relyto® natural lycopene and synthetic lycopene?
Synthetic lycopene is a single, isolated molecule produced chemically. Relyto® is a natural, full-spectrum tomato complex that retains the full range of companion phytonutrients naturally present in the fruit. This synergistic matrix of phytonutrients ensures superior biological relevance and integrity, offering a genuine real-food signature that synthetic alternatives cannot replicate. For brands focused on clean-label, natural positioning, full-spectrum lycopene is the stronger choice.
What delivery formats is Relyto® available in?
Relyto® is available in five custom delivery formats, each tailored to a specific delivery system: Oil Suspensions for softgels and oil-based liquids; Microencapsulated Beadlets for enhanced stability in tablets and hard capsules; Direct Compression (DC) Granules for high-speed tableting; Water-Soluble Powders manufactured using SEDS technology for crystal-clear dispersion in functional beverages and RTDs; and Standard Powders for nutritional premixes and capsules.
