Sorry I PM'd ya before I seen this thread. Lycopene is ok as a one of many to add to a anti-oxidant supplementation. I would probably just isolate it and use it for fear of prostate health but as an overall health product. it's like most, it only one part of the system. What are ya trying to accomplish LeFou, Maybe one or two of us can give you a couple different ideas and you can try them. When it comes to health and fitness there is no one"right" way but there are many wrong ones. Alot of times it's comfort level. Wufwugy and me agree alot in that the mainstream "dogma" he claims will mess you up in your persuit of health and fitness.
