Tomato-derived Exosome Research and Application
Multiple researchers have already extracted exosomes from tomato juice to explore their potential benefits. This is because tomato-derived exosomes may carry bioactive substances that can be used for health and medical research. Combined with their natural origin from food, they hold promising applications. Creative Biolabs supports the extraction and functional development of tomato-derived exosomes.
Tomatoes are Nutritionally Rich and Offer Various Health Benefits
-
Anti-Aging: Tomatoes boast a wealth of lycopene, a potent antioxidant renowned for safeguarding the skin against oxidative harm induced by free radicals, ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and extrinsic influences. Lycopene actively fosters cellular proliferation and rejuvenation, thereby acting as a bulwark against the onset of skin senescence, the emergence of hyperpigmentation, and the formation of fine lines and creases.
-
Cardiovascular Health: Lycopene in tomatoes protects low-density lipoprotein from oxidative damage, reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, especially in individuals with high cholesterol levels. Tomatoes are also rich in potassium, helping maintain normal blood pressure.
-
Prostate Health: Consuming tomatoes and lycopene is associated with reduced risk of prostate diseases, including prostate cancer. Lycopene contributes to maintaining and repairing prostate health.
-
Anti-Cancer: Tomato extracts contain compounds that inhibit tumor growth, reducing the risk of breast cancer, prostate cancer, and other types of cancer.
-
Blood Pressure Regulation: Tomatoes' potassium content helps maintain a balance of potassium and sodium, reducing the risk of high blood pressure.
-
Skin Health: Tomato's lycopene and other antioxidants protect the skin from UV damage, maintaining skin health.
