Lycopene is a compound of colored origin that shows strong antioxidant activity. The positive effect of lycopene is the result of its pleiotropic effect. The ability to neutralize free radicals via lycopene is one of the foundations of its pro-health effect, including the ability to inhibit the development of many civilization diseases. Therefore, this study focuses on the importance of the antioxidant effect of lycopene in inhibiting the development of diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diseases within the nervous system, diabetes, liver diseases, and ulcerative colitis. According to the research mentioned, lycopene supplementation has significant promise for the treatment of illnesses marked by chronic inflammation and oxidative stress. However, the majority of the supporting data for lycopene's health benefits comes from experimental research, whereas the evidence from clinical studies is both scarcer and less certain of any health benefits. Research on humans is still required to establish its effectiveness.
番茄红素是一种具有强抗氧化活性的有色化合物。番茄红素的积极作用是其多效性的结果。番茄红素通过中和自由基的能力是其促进健康作用的基础之一，包括抑制许多文明病发展的能力。因此，本研究侧重于番茄红素的抗氧化作用在抑制心血管疾病、神经系统疾病、糖尿病、肝病和溃疡性结肠炎等疾病发展方面的重要性。根据提到的研究，番茄红素补充剂在治疗以慢性炎症和氧化应激为特征的疾病方面具有很大的潜力。然而，番茄红素对健康有益的大部分支持数据来自实验研究，而来自临床研究的证据则既更少，也不太确定其任何健康益处。需要对人类进行研究以确定其效果。
