In the randomized, double-blinded crossover study, 11 well-trained male athletes underwent three exhaustive exercise tests after a week of supplementation with a tomato powder, then a lycopene supplement, and then a placebo. Three blood samples (baseline, post-ingestion, and post-exercise) were taken for each of the supplements used, in order to evaluate total antioxidant capacity and variables of lipid peroxidation, such as malondialdehyde (MDA) and 8-isoprostane.

This exhibition was a grand gathering where like-minded professionals from the nutrition, health, and wellness industries came together to share ideas, showcase their products, and make new connections. We were proud to be a part of such an exciting event.

“We found that 1-week supplementation with tomato powder positively augmented total antioxidant capacity and was more potent when compared to lycopene supplementation,” the authors of the study said. “These trends in 8-isoprostane and MDA support the notion that over a short period of time, tomato powder, not synthetic lycopene, has the potential to alleviate exercise-induced lipid peroxidation. MDA is a biomarker of oxidation of total lipid pools but 8-isoprostane belongs to F2-isoprostane class and is a reliable biomarker of radical-induced reaction which specifically reflects the oxidation of arachidonic acid.”

I believe there is a strong demand for functional foods and drinks in our modern food and beverage industry, mainly thanks to popular convenience and on-the-go trends which force consumers to  search for suitable, functional foods to fight deficiencies and maintain a healthy and nutritious diet.
