Lycopene, among with beta carotine is a carotenoid that when taken over long period of time can change skin for the better

For many, lycopene extract is the most trivial choice, one tablet usually contains 10mg.
Food | mg lycopene / 100g |
Raw tomatoes | 2.6 |
Tomato soup | 5.5 |
Tomato paste | 7.5 |
Tomato juice | 9 |
Tomato sauce | 16 |
Ketchup | 10-18.3 |
Sun-dried tomatoes | 46 |
As you can see raw tomatoes are not really a viable source of lycopene (plus lycopene’s bioavaibility is significantly lower than in processed products).
Ketchup is very cheap, goes well with many foods and sugar free or lowcarb versions exist which are very low in calories. Ketchup’s lycopene content has great bioavaibility
