Lycopene is a bright carotenoid found in optimum quantities in Mannofit supplement. It shows to reduce the risk of prostate cancer. It also helps in BPH prevention and slows the progression of BPH in patients suffering from BPH. Consumption of lycopene supplements reduces the aggressive potential of cancerous cells by impeding neoangiogenesis. Neoangiogenesis is a process in which new blood vessels are formed that provide nutrition for the development of tumor cells. [ii]

Another mechanism by which lycopene reduces the malignant potential is by antioxidant activity. Antioxidant activity decreases the injury to normal cells by free radicals. According to the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, lycopene levels are assuring biomarkers of cancer of the prostate. Consuming a high amount of lycopene supplements decreases PSA (prostatic surface antigen) levels, a specific tumor marker for prostate cancer. [iii]
