Big news—our latest heart study showed a positive link between our tomato nutrient complex and cardiovascular health. In our double-blind randomized study, we gave varying doses of either our tomato nutrient complex, synthetic lycopene, or a placebo to 61 volunteers. The results showed a decrease in blood pressure for those who took our tomato complex, while those who took synthetic lycopene alone showed no change in blood pressure.
This continued research gives us more reason than ever to keep studying the many holistic benefits our tomatoes have to offer. Check out the full report on our heart study here.
