Does Tomato Extract Help With Tomato extract is a concentrated blend of carotenoids — m...?

Evidence Summary

Tomato extract is a concentrated blend of carotenoids — mainly lycopene, phytoene, and phytofluene — plus polyphenols from tomatoes. Clinical trials show it can modestly reduce systolic blood pressure in hypertensive adults (at 15–30 mg lycopene equivalent), reduce UV-induced skin redness and inflammation, lower a cardiovascular risk marker called TMAO in overweight adults, and improve melasma severity when used alongside standard skin treatments. A water-soluble form called Fruitflow also shows antiplatelet and gut microbiota effects. Most benefits appear after 8–12 weeks of consistent use.
