Ingredient 5 of 5
Lycopene in Prostacor
Lycopene closes the list. Last place on the panel means it is the lightest of the five ingredients.
On the label
The fifth line of the blend
"Lycopene"
The label line reads "Lycopene". It stands last of the 5, so a capsule holds less of it than of anything else in the 351 mg blend.
Lycopene is the red pigment best known from tomatoes. The label does not name its source.
Research
What the published source says
Quoted from Maturitas.
Eight RCTs met the inclusion criteria for this systematic review.
Given the limited number of RCTs published, and the varying quality of existing studies, it is not possible to support, or refute, the use of lycopene for the prevention or treatment of BPH or prostate cancer.
In the capsule
What that means for a capsule
The review looked at 8 randomized trials and judged 3 of them at high risk of bias. Its authors could not say whether lycopene does anything for the prostate.
A Prostacor capsule lists lycopene last and prints no weight for it.
- Saw palmetto
- Beta-sitosterol
- Stinging nettle
- Pumpkin seed
- Lycopene
Order on the panel, heaviest first. One weight is printed for all five: 351 mg.
