Lycomato’s Power on the Mitochondria

Lycored’s flagship nutrient is getting a fresh look and becomes Lycomato6.  

Lycomato to the power of 6:  

First, let’s address the elephant in the room, Lycomato6 ‘s formula stays the same, only the name is changing. 

By adding the power of 6 to the name, we want to emphasize and honor the 6 phytonutrients that compose Lycomato6 not just Lycopene. 

Lycomato6 contains: 

• Lycopene 

• Tocopherols 

• Beta-Carotene 

• Phytoene 

• Phytofluene 

• Phytosterols  

These nutrients work in synergy to deliver powerful benefits throughout the body and support wellness for all.  These additional phytonutrients provide benefits as individual nutrients. For example, Lycomato extract also contains essential fatty acids (Linoleic and Linolenic acid) both are essential and serve different functions in the body. Linoleic acid is the parent fatty acid of the omega-6 series, while Linolenic acid is the parent of the omega-3 series. A balanced intake of both is important for optimal health.

A New Format 

In addition to a new name, Lycomato6 is also available in a new format. We recently launched Lycomato6 5% Beadlets. Previously, Lycomato6 was only available as an Oleoresin, which limited which applications it could be formulated in, such as softgel capsules. The new beadlet format broadens the potential for Lycomato6 to be formulated in many more applications, from gummies, two-piece capsules, dry beverages, tablets, which means you can reach many more consumers. 

Recently, Lycored demonstrated the versatility of the new format in a fruity green tea blend featuring Lycomato6 beadlets, showcasing one of the many possible applications. 

New Findings and New Benefits: Longevity 

A recent pre-clinical study  published in Antioxidants journal reveals that Lycored’s Lycomato6 offers significant benefits for cellular health and aging. The study indicates that Lycomato6 can enhance mitochondrial function, reduce oxidative stress, and protect against cellular damage—all factors that help slow the cellular aging process and support longevity. 

Mitochondria are often referred to as the “powerhouses” of cells because they produce the energy necessary for the body to function. However, as we age, mitochondrial efficiency declines, resulting in reduced energy production and increased harmful free radicals, which contributes to further cellular damage. This decline is a major factor in fatigue, muscle weakness, and cognitive decline with age. 

Lycomato6 aids in restoring mitochondrial efficiency and mitigating damage. Research has shown that Lycomato6 not only restores mitochondrial function in aging skin cells but also decreases the number of senescent (or “aged”) cells. These findings align with earlier research that demonstrated the positive impact of lycopene—the key phytonutrient in Lycomato6—on telomere length, which is closely linked to cellular aging. 

Lycomato6 a longevity partner 

Lycomato6 could help delay visible signs of aging while keeping your cells functioning efficiently. This adds to the range of benefits Lycomato6 delivers to the entire body. Lycopene and the other phytonutrients in Lycomato6 are powerful antioxidants that help neutralize free radicals, shielding your cells from oxidative stress. Studies indicate that Lycomato6 can significantly reduce oxidative stress in skin cells exposed to harmful agents, such as hydrogen peroxide, which are often associated with environmental stress. This means that Lycomato6 can help your body look and feel younger by protecting it from everyday damage.
