Natural Lycopene Source Health Food Supplement 100% Pure, Freeze-Dried, No Fillers, No Solvents Raw Material Source: Seagate grows a variety of Roma tomatoes which have maximum red color and lycopene level. Seagate has complete control over the entire operation, from planting and growing their crops to processing the tomato lycopene in their own factory. These tomatoes were not genetically-modified, nor subjected to any chemical or pesticide. Processing: Seagate freeze-dries the tomatoes using modern stainless-steel equipment. This method maintains the delicate balance of the phytonutrients, while concentrating the antioxidant compounds such as betacarotene, phytosterols, and lycopene. Lycopene: Each 500 mg capsule contains 3% lycopene, tested by independent laboratories using UV methodology. Seagate avoids using any solvents to concentrate the lycopene and thereby avoids having the residual ethyl acetate that is present in the capsules of many other brands of lycopene. This product provides dietary support for prostate and cervix health.
