the most potent antioxidant naturally present
in
many fruits and vegetables.
However, tomatoes and processed tomato
products constitute the major source of dietary
lycopene accounting for up to 85% of the daily
intake.
There is considerable scientific interest in the
role of Lycopene in the prevention of several
degenerative diseases.

 However, based on the results of a recent

study where absorption of lycopene from

tomato ketchup and supplement at the intake
levels of 5, 10 and 20 mg daily for one week
were evaluated, the suggested daily intake of
lycopene was modified to 5-10 mg This level
of intake can easily be achieved by ingesting
several dietary sources of lycopene.
The role of oxidative stress and antioxidants
in osteoporosis has been reported, but the
role of lycopene is yet to be established
