Lycopene Powder Bulk is widely found in various organs and tissues of the human body. Mainly distributed in human blood, adrenal glands, liver, testes, prostate, breast, ovary, uterus, digestive tract and other organs, of which blood, adrenal glands, liver, testes, etc. contain more lycopene.
Lycopene is a fat-soluble substance that is absorbed by the small intestinal mucosa through passive diffusion after digestion. Subsequent incorporation into chylomicrons enters the lymphatic system for transport into the liver. With the help of apolipoproteins, it is transported from the liver to the plasma for redistribution to different organs. The absorption process is affected by food composition, particle size and whether or not heat treated, digestive enzymes, stomach acid, etc.
Under normal diet, the concentration of Lycopene Powder Bulk in human plasma is 0.2-1.0 μmol/L, with an average of about 0.5 μmol/L. There were no significant gender differences in the levels of lycopene in human plasma. However, the level of lycopene in female plasma is affected by the menstrual cycle, and there is a peak in plasma lycopene in the mid-luteal phase.
In the human body, the organs and tissues with higher lycopene content are the adrenal glands, testes, liver and prostate, and also have certain advantages in the kidneys and lungs.
The study found that after ingesting 16.5 mg of lycopene at one time, there was a weak increase in blood after 6 hours, a large increase after 12 hours, and disappeared after 104 hours. Lycopene is a fat-soluble substance, which can improve its bioavailability after thermal processing and in the presence of lipids. The serum concentration reaches a peak in 24-48 hours, and the half-life is 2-3 days. The concentration of lycopene increased, but the relationship was not linear, and the cis-form was more readily absorbed than the trans-form lycopene.
In Western diets, lycopene in tomatoes and tomato products is the main source of carotenoids, and it is also the most abundant in human serum. The lycopene that people get from tomatoes accounts for more than 80% of their total intake. Drinking tomato juice or eating fresh tomatoes usually means that lycopene is only passing through the body with little absorption. In order to produce lycopene nutritional preparations with health care and therapeutic value, many large health care product companies and pharmaceutical companies at home and abroad have developed soft capsules containing lycopene to facilitate the supplementation of lycopene in the human body.
