Among the popular nutritional supplements used to optimize exercise recovery by athletes, lycopene, a carotenoid found in tomatoes, is widely used, with clinical research evidencing that pure lycopene supplements are a potent antioxidant which can reduce exercise-induced lipid peroxidation (a mechanism in which free radicals damage cells by “stealing” electrons from lipids in cell membranes).

ASTAXANTHIN BENEFITS

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.

These results were positively reflected in the BCM-95 group’s serum inflammatory markers: CRP levels were reduced by 37.21%, and TNF-α levels were cut by 74.81%, indicating BCM-95 performed better than paracetamol.

BCM-95’s unique fusion of curcuminoids and turmerone-rich essential oil components overcomes curcumin’s characteristic bioavailability hurdles due to its inherent high lipophilic nature.

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.

Given the current demand for alternative sources of foods with suitable functional characteristics, the adaptogen effect could be an interesting attribute to consider in determining the use of certain plants in the formulation of foods and beverages.
