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.

“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.”

The Finutra team had the pleasure of participating in the 2023 Vitafoods exhibition. After three years, we reunited with many valued customers, and it was great to see how everyone has grown and evolved in their business endeavors.

Astaxanthin is a unique fat-soluble antioxidant carotenoid found in algae, yeast, salmon, krill, shrimp and other kinds of fish and crustaceans. Clinical trials indicate that astaxanthin improve the condition of the skin, enhance recovery from exercise, relieve occasional indigestion, support gastric health, help maintain cholesterol level within a healthy range, enhance immune response, promote healthy vision, and support the male reproductive system.

As a team, we gained a lot from our participation in the exhibition. We had the opportunity to meet with potential new customers, explore new market trends, and get inspired by the innovative products and concepts showcased by other exhibitors.

Dear Customers, Partners, and Industry Peers,

In a new pilot study, published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, researchers aimed to investigate the antioxidant benefits of lycopene, but specifically, how they stacked up against tomato powder, a tomato supplement closer to its whole food origin which contains not only lycopene but a broader profile of micronutrients and various bioactive components.
