FAQ
Lyc-O-Pen® is a lycopene ingredient derived from patented Israeli tomato strains and manufactured in the USA using advanced microencapsulation technology to ensure stability and high quality.
Microencapsulation technology enhances the oxidative stability, light resistance, and heat resistance of lycopene, while effectively masking the ingredient's odor and improving formulation compatibility.
Yes, it is derived from LycoRed patented tomato strains, retaining natural tomato pigments and classified as a nature-identical form.
It retains natural accompanying components such as $\beta$-carotene and Vitamin E, providing a complete phytochemical profile.
It has passed multiple quality certifications, including Halal, Kosher, FSSC22000, ISO9001, HACCP, and GMP.
It offers versatile applications suitable for capsules, tablets, powder packs, general foods, and topical skincare formulations.
It is recommended to store them in a cool, dry place while avoiding high-temperature environments and exposure to direct light.
Yes, Lyc-O-Pen® possesses Clean Label characteristics, meeting consumer demands for transparent, simple, and natural ingredients.
Patented tomato strains from LycoRed have a significantly higher lycopene content compared to standard tomato varieties.
Through microencapsulation technology, the stability of lycopene is enhanced, and related studies have explored its bioavailability performance in various carrier systems.
