Lycored, a supplier specializing in carotenoid ingredients for foods, beverages, and dietary supplements, has launched Lycomato6 Beadlets 5%, a new delivery format for its flagship, inflammatory-modulating tomato extract. The release comes at the same time that the brand refreshed Lycomato6, which was formerly called Lyc-O-Mato.
 
The 6 in the branding highlights the six tomato-based phytonutrients in the formula, which include lycopene, phytosterols, phytoene, phytofluene, tocopherols, and beta-carotene. These ingredients are evidenced to work independently and synergistically to support healthy aging and beauty from within. Lycomato6 is supported by 25 clinical studies showing evidence that it modulates inflammation and attenuates oxidative stress for cellular wellness, skin health, beauty, heart health, and eye health.
 
The new dry format unlocks additional application opportunities for Lycomato6 including gummies, capsules, powdered beverages, and tablets, offering brands new ways to innovate with the ingredient.
 
“As the demand for timeless aging solutions continues to rise, we’re excited to expand the application potential for Lycomato6 and offer our customers new opportunities to meet consumer needs,” said Tammi Higgins, senior vice president of commercial at Lycored. “Lycomato6 is a comprehensive anti-inflammaging superhero, and the new branding helps differentiate its synergistic power from that of lycopene on its own.”
 
Lycored’s new beadlet technology will be featured alongside the rest of its solutions, with the holistic theme of “Treat Yourself.” Attendees can also visit the Lycored-sponsored Zen Den, located on the lower level, which will feature a spa pop-up with complementary massages, giveaways, and more.
 
Elizabeth Tarshish, PhD, head of scientific value and strategy at Lycored, will discuss the science behind Lycomato6 in an upcoming webinar on Nov. 19 at noon. Registration is available here.
