Lycopene-rich foods and prostate health

Lycopene is a natural plant compound belonging to the carotenoid family, acting as a powerful antioxidant. It is found in high amounts in tomatoes, watermelon, and pink grapefruit. Lycopene plays a role in protecting the prostate from tumors and inflammation, reducing the risk of prostate cancer by nearly 9%, preventing the proliferation of cancer cells, and lowering the chances of benign prostate enlargement. Although epidemiological studies and laboratory experiments show benefits of lycopene, current clinical evidence is insufficient to officially recommend its use for prostate cancer prevention or treatment.
