In the athletes, tomato powder enhanced total antioxidant capacity by 12%. Interestingly, the tomato powder treatment also resulted in a significantly reduced elevation of 8-isoprostane compared to both the lycopene supplement and the placebo. The tomato powder also significantly reduced exhaustive exercise MDA compared to the placebo, however, no such difference was indicated between the lycopene and placebo treatments.

Overall, the 2023 Vitafoods exhibition was a great success for the Finutra team. We left feeling energized and more motivated than ever to continue pushing the boundaries in the nutrition industry.

Beyond the business aspect, CPhI Shanghai offers a unique opportunity to build connections and foster long-term friendships. We are excited to be part of this friendly and dynamic environment, where like-minded professionals come together to shape the future of the pharmaceutical industry.

“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.”

We are excited to announce that our company will be participating in the upcoming SupplySide East exhibition in the United States. Renowned as one of the industry’s premier events, SupplySide East brings together ingredient suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and professionals from the health and nutrition sectors to discuss market trends, innovative technologies, and business opportunities.
