Tomato
100% Pure, Non-hybrid, Non GMO Organic Tomato Concentrate - Straight from Mother Nature
The simple tomato has gained a stellar reputation due to the discovery of a carotenoid called lycopene, a health-promoting phytochemical which gives the tomato its red color. In the body, lycopene acts like a powerful antioxidant, helping to scavenge and neutralize harmful free radicals which can accelerate aging and cause disease. Lycopene also assists in the repair of damaged body cells as well as helping to inhibit DNA oxidation, which if left unchecked can lead to certain forms of cancer. Many studies have supported the role of the tomato (with its rich lycopene content) in the prevention and nutritional support of prostate cancer, lung cancer and other types of cancer as well as heart disease and osteoporosis.
Finding the Best Lycopene
Lycopene is a normal constituent of human blood and human tissues, where it is found in greater concentrations than any other carotenoid, including beta carotene. However, the body cannot synthesize lycopene so it must be obtained through diet or by supplementation. In general, the foods with the greatest lycopene content are tomatoes and tomato-based foods, such as tomato juice, soups, sauces and paste.
However, be very careful of the source of tomatoes and tomato-based foods you use. According to the FDA’s long-range food study in the U.S., commercially grown tomatoes are saturated with unbelievably high amounts of toxic pollutants. Their study found store-bought tomatoes contain, on average, a whopping 50 different pesticide/toxic chemical residues (per 16 samples).
In contrast, Quantum Tomato Concentrate is a raw, unheated, untreated concentrate containing 100% of its active enzymes and nutrients. Besides containing an incredible 67mg per tablespoon of lycopene, it also contains a whopping 195 mg per tablespoon of potassium, an important mineral for the kidney, heart, blood, muscle and nervous system. This Tomato Concentrate from South America is completely free of pesticides or chemical residues. Due to the pristine growing environment in South America (with rich soil and pure water), this powder contains an extremely high level of naturally occurring lycopene. This gives the consumer not only one of the highest lycopene concentrates, but also the full gamut of the tomato's other associated nutrients which help fully metabolize the lycopene.
