Dr. Sean, I think you only need 2 teaspoons Lycopene powder to obtain 500mg Lycopene carotenoid. Here's my computation: From package label, serving size of Lycopene powder 200mg will provide 10mg Lycopene carotenoid 200mg : 10mg - this is the ratio as printed in the package label 5000mg: 1 tsp - this is the ratio that 1 teaspoon can hold of 5000mg of powder according to google Dividing 5000mg by 200mg equals 25 which means a teaspoon can hold 25 times the serving size. Filling the teaspoon with Lycopene powder will result to: 25 x 200mg(Lycopene powder) : 25 x 10mg(Lycopene carotenoid) - is also equivalent to 5000mg (also 1 teaspoon Lycopene powder) : 250mg(Lycopene carotenoid) therefore 1 teaspoon can yield 250mg(Lycopene carotenoid) or in 2 teaspoons can yield 500mg(Lycopene carotenoid)
Hi Dr Sean. You replied to my questions 2 weeks ago about my problems with my enlarged prostate and frequent urination. You mentioned about the Chinese herbal medicine that I can buy from Amazon to reduce my frequent urination. My questions and your reply disappeared here. Would you mind telling me the name of the Chinese herbal medicine again? I would like to try this if it will work for me. Thank you.
Excellent video, beautiful presentation - I am 72 - lycopene is very important but take Lycopene as part of your healthy prostate lifestyle. NO single supplement will fix prostate issues. A healthy prostate lifestyle is eating a whole foods diet, plenty of exercise, don't sit so much, lower stress, good sleep, proper hydration, no alcohol, no sugar, no processed foods, and DON'T snack between meals. Listen, I am 72 and I had major problems - I embarked on this lifestyle which resulted in significant symptom improvements, but it took a couple of years to undo my crap lifestyle. I sleep through the night. Lycopene is very important but don't expect it to solve all your problems. If you want to fix your prostate, work on your whole body - to work on your whole body, work on all the individual organs. Everything is connected - don't think of your prostate as this disconnected gland that mysterious enlarged one day. Your hormones, liver, kidneys, bladder, spleen, EVERYTHING is interconnected, and you need to take the approach of making everything healthy. Your prostate health will improve along with everything else.
An excellent comprehensive explanation for improvement of the whole body organs. Especially for all 70+ seniors (like me) suffering from enlarged prostate
I used to have to urinate 3 times during the night. After learning from another RUclips video about lycopene can shrink the prostate, I tried it for 3 monthes and now I don't have to get up at 3AM to urinate any more.
One thing to note is I believe the study recommended splitting dose 1/2 each between AM and PM. I have been taking 100mg for several months and I would say that my urine flow is much improved. I have also used the bulk powder.
Thanks Doc!!!! I have struggled with the effects of an enlarged prostate for over two decades. In the early years I was prescribed very powerful antibiotics which only worked for a couple of weeks. I would love to give the toilet a rest.
💯🎯 Stared talking a lycopene supplement daily and noticed a dramatic improvement in less than two weeks. It’s a permanent part of my daily routine now! 💯
I just watched a video by Dr. Eric Berg that states that according to some scientific studies, it was noted that males with enlarged prostate were commonly deficient in in Zinc, and therefore, Zinc is a key ingredient that can help to prevent or reduce an enlarge prostate. Now, in your video, you state, based on research that having high concentrations of zinc, can lead to an enlarged or higher risk of enlarged prostate. Good informative video.
I decided to try this lycopene technique and I'm four days into consuming passata (heated) and consumed almost as a soup. I've also heard that heating the product releases more lycopene. However, I would recommend that people be wary of high sugar sauces (as high blood sugar can cause inflammation and lead to a whole range of other problems) and consider low sugar options - hence why I consume passata (sieved tomatoes). The Bolognese sauces are full of sugar and should be avoided. Ketchup is also too high in sugar. I'll report back here, if I notice any improvement in urinary function, though I expect that it might take some weeks.
@@frankleflour7482 I have say that I noticed an improvement in my flow rate of say 10% which has helped somewhat. So I continue to take passata as a drink each day.
Two years ago I was having prostate issues. Along with T2 diabetes, wicked arthritis, high blood pressure, brain fog, and on and on. Then I switched to eating the zero carb Carnivore diet. Now I'm 75 and am in excellent health. Meat, eggs, butter, salt, and water is all I need and want. I'll never go back to eating the inflammatory Standard American Diet!
I have an enlarged prostate I'm also on a Carnivore diet for the last 7 months I'm on medication now and it has gotten better but not completely gone is eating rib eye steak and beef patties ground beef ok to eat as I've read foods to avoid and red meat is one of them
My prostatitis got severe with 2wks of carnivore! I lost a ton of weight and couldnt shit for 2wks. Idk man, carnivore is for overweight people, but not for me.
@@yafet021 the key is a balanced meal. The american diet consists in a ton of processed carbs. Thats why people that switch to carnivore do soo well, but it doesnt need to be soo extreme. Theres different types of carbs. Carbs consist of sugar, fibre and starch. Youre supposed to eat less starchy carbs at night and only one type per meal. The fats are also one type and protein the same. What is really happening when you mix proteins or carbs or fats is that they all have a different molecular weight and so the insulin spikes up for longer which creates problems in the long run. Extremes like carnivore are never good at the long run.
5 to 6 quarts! Not really! Less is best anytime you are frying, no matter the oil being used. Always start with less, you can always add, but can't take away. Don't use the "Seed" oils!! Olive, avocado, coconut are some of the better ones. Hope this helps.
Thank you. Things I have learned from various sources are that lycopene, pygeum, stinging nettle root, saw palmetto and pumpkin seeds all help. Something else I find to be interesting also is that when I drink coffee, it may worsen symptoms. But when I add the same amount of coffee powder to double the amount of water, my flow is far better. Beer also worsens my symptoms. But when I drink beer with lightly salted peanuts, the flow is much better. Some folks have also suggested to cut down on sugar and sweet foods. And don't sit too much and do get exercise. I hope some of these suggestions can help some folks out there.
Doctor...I read some reviews of the product you recommended and there's something you should know. The product is mostly fillers. There's actually very little Lycopene in it.
I consume tomato sauce in my pasta 2x a week, ketchup on my (organic grassfed) burger 2x a week. I'm 65 and my PSA is normal but the doc. says my prostate is BIG and they want to send me to an oncologist, I'm not in a hurry to go to an oncologist and have heard that a prostate biopsy is quite painful, so I'll put it off as long as possible. (My late father had prostate problems & ended up needing surgery at 70 but he didn't have any cancer).
I don’t remember where I read that high doses of lycopene can sometimes cause a breakout of psoriasis. This happened to me, and when I put the brakes on the 1 tbsp daily I was taking of tomato paste, the psoriasis faded away. Back to the drawing board.
One of many last questions, should I consider taking [ L-Arginine ], even though all of the foods, I eat contain [ L-Arginine ] ( Fish (salmon, haddock, sardines). Nuts and seeds (Brazilian nuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds), Legumes (soybeans, chickpeas). Whole grains (brown rice, oats). ). My physical activity consist of a rotating weekly walk plan (Mon - Fri, 3 - 4 KM), Sunday - 10KM Walk. AS OF THIS DATE NO MEDICAL DOCTOR CAN TELL ME WHAT IS THE MAJOR / SINGULAR/ CAUSE OF MY ENLARGED PROSTATE, OR OFFERED SOME OF THE MODERN MEDICAL TECHNICS TO REDUCE ITS SIZE - SURGICALLY OR THROUGH MEDICATION. YOUR THOUGHTS.
In Eastern Medicine, we divide an enlarged prostate into many different categories, such as yungpye (urinary retention), imjeung (inflammation), nopye (urinary retention), sinheo (kidney deficiency), suche (fluid retention), sudok (water toxicity), eohyeol (blood stasis), binnyo (frequent urination), and noryu (urinary incontinence). Do you notice there is more than one urinary retention? It's because those terms are also divided into more detailed categories. In Eastern Medicine, we see the body as a whole, meaning that an enlarged prostate is related to the kidney, and this kidney can be affected by the lung, spleen, heart, and liver. I know this might sound weird, but try consulting with an Eastern medicine practitioner. It will make sense!
The bulk brand of lycopene you recommend at the end only has 5% of that 200mg in lycopene (on the back it shows 10mg). So that wouldn't come close to the 500mg recommended. (If I'm reading that right).
Yes, it has been quite confusing. I apologize for not providing a clearer and more accurate method. That brand was the only one I thought would make it easier to take a high dosage.😢
Ketchup is full of sugar and induce inflammation to the prostate. Maybe tomato paste is a good substitute. The lycopene powder shown here, is it organic? Thank you
I looked at the numbers on the package of Lycopene powder on your video. 200 mg of Lycopene powder is equal to 10 mg of pure Lycopene. You have to take 10,000 mg of Lycopene powder to obtain 500 mg of pure Lycopene. You have to multiply both sides of the equation 200 mg of lycopene powder = 10 mg of pure Lycopene by 50. My scale will measure in grams. One gram is equal to 1,000 mg. So 10 grams (10,000) of Lycopene powder will equal 500 mg of pure Lycopene. Given that lycopene is a lipid-soluble(fat) compound, consuming it with fat increases its bioavailability. Dr. Sean PLEASE check my math. Is it correct? Teaspoons are a measure of volume while grams are a measure of weight. Until I receive the powder I have no way of measuring weight to get volume.
I apologize for the confusion. This is definitely my mistake. I calculated that 200mg is equivalent to 1/10 of a teaspoon, which led to the of 5 teaspoons for 500mg of lycopene. Let me recalculate. 500mg divided by 10mg per serving equals 50 servings for 500mg of lycopene. Let's assume 5 teaspoons make up 1 gram (although this may vary due to differences in weight and volume). Therefore, 200mg equals (200mg / 1000mg per gram) * (1 gram / 5 teaspoons), which is approximately 0.04 teaspoons per serving. Multiplying by 50 servings gives us 2 teaspoons. I considered this option because taking 10 capsules isn't easy, so I was exploring alternatives, and this seemed like the most convenient one.
The label in the back of the promoted supplement indicates that only 5% of the 200mg dose is lycopene, which falls short of the recommended 500mg lycopene intake. The rest are fillers. How is this a viable product??
Hi. Looking at the powder label it says 200 mg equals 10 mg of lycopene ( standardized to 5%) so 3 tablespoons of powder is 30 mg. Is it the same as taking just one 30mg capsule of lycopene? Thanks.
You meant teaspoon, right? Tablespoon is a lot. Let me copy and paste the comment I made below! ------------------------------------------------------------------ I apologize for the confusion. This is definitely my mistake. I calculated that 200mg is equivalent to 1/10 of a teaspoon, which led to the of 5 teaspoons for 500mg of lycopene.

@@stephenroger4527 Look into the PAE procedure ... It's extremely effective and re-treatment rates are quite low. Best part is no trans-urethral resection of tissue which can lead to incontinence and sexual dysfunction ... Micro spheres are injected into your prostatic artery which shrinks the size of the prostate very effectively. All done via a small catheter inserted in the femoral or radial artery. It's what I'm going to do when medication becomes less effective. Right now I'm holding my own.
Will Massaging The Prostate With Castor Oil Shrink the Prostate? Will Taking two 50mg capsules twice a day totaling 200mg is safe? I will definitely try the Lycopene Powder I learned about tomatoes at a Health Fair when I was in my 40's.
Massaging the prostate with castor oil is a controversial practice with limited scientific evidence to support its effectiveness. While some anecdotal reports suggest benefits, it's essential to approach such practices with caution. Regarding your question about dosage, taking two 50mg capsules of a supplement twice a day, totaling 200mg, is generally safe, but try it for about 2-3 months first.

Hi I read that zinc is good for the prostae for shrinking it together with Lycopene and Sabal, the doctor recommended each day 10 -12 mg zinc . Is that save because you mentioned that it can enlarge the prostate ????. Do you recomend any dossage? By the way I bought 500 mg Lycopne capsules at Amazon. Real good, just starting..
Oh, they have a 500mg capsule? That’s great! The dosage of the powder has been a headache. 😢 If your doctor prescribed you 10-12mg of zinc, you should follow that. They know your condition the best!🙂
Thank you for informative video. I'll start 5mg of Lycopene vit. tell me? I take 50 mg of zinc daily. I've enlarged prostrate. Im on Tamsulosin. What's your advice ? how much zinc should I take daily. Also Zinc I think helps prevent Flu Colds etc.
You're absolutely right! Finding trustworthy companies that source high-quality ingredients can be challenging, especially on Amazon. It's essential to look for products that are certified and have third-party testing to ensure their purity and efficacy. Always do your research and consider reaching out to the manufacturer for more information. Thank you for raising this important point!😊
That's a great way to have it. On average, sun-dried tomatoes contain approximately 45 mg of lycopene per 100 grams, so make sure to have it every day!😊
Hullo, Doc. How can I access, your medication, I've had a BPH,issue for the past few years (15)..& I've been taking, TAMSULOSIN..but I need the lycopene supplements, please help, I'm 70 years old 🙏
I'm sorry, please understand I cannot provide any advice here. but yes, you need to keep taking Tamsulosin and please consult with your primary doctor. 😉
thanks for that information it really big help to me.last saturday my doctor told that i have to test my PSA.because around 2am my pee sometimes normal but sometimes very to small amount of my pee i feel there is still inside my pee inside.and by sunday i allready get the result 9.48ng/ml.what do you of my result.do you think i need to see my doctor or the lycopene will help me.thanks more power to you.
What medication does your doctor want you to be on? Lycopene is generally safe, but if you want to try it, I think it would be best to let your doctor know before you start.
Saw one video where the recommendation was tomatoes, but also a whole lemon in a smoothy, said lemon juice only has 15% of lemon nutrients. But lemon peel is rich in nutrients, any truth to this?
Yes, there is some truth to the recommendation regarding tomatoes and lemon peel. Tomatoes are known for their high lycopene content, which is a powerful antioxidant. As for lemons, while the juice contains some nutrients, such as vitamin C, the peel actually contains additional beneficial compounds, including flavonoids and essential oils. Therefore, including the whole lemon, including the peel, in a smoothie could indeed provide a broader range of nutrients. However, it's essential to thoroughly wash the lemon peel to remove any pesticide residue and ensure safety.
Yes, you can generally take lycopene while using Proscar and Avodart. But its always best to consult with your doctor before 😉because they know your current condition.
Thank you for your question. Just as individuals can have allergic reactions to different things, some might experience negative or sensitive reactions to tomatoes. Scientific evidence supporting a direct link between tomatoes and the spread of inflammation and immune dysfunction is limited. I think it's important for individuals to listen to their bodies and pay attention to how they personally respond to different foods, including tomatoes. I hope this helps.😊
@@Dr.SeanSong I get it really it seems kind of obvious I was hoping you would elaborate on nightshades findings and tomatoes in particular since you video was about tomatoes anyway If you find that to be irrelevant let us know Thank you
Watermelon is better than tomatoes. also hibiscus tea has helped me . I take hibiscus tea ( twice a day) , sprinkled with turmeric , Powder black pepper( black pepper helps turmeric to be absorbed) and cinnamon + honey. My improvement I say it is 50% in a month . Tomatoes did nothing for me except give me reflux and bloating and didn’t do anything at all for my prostate. God bless
Pectin or the "red" part of an apple is supposedly solid as well for cancer as well as reduction or prevention measures. Marinara is another that I haven't seen mentioned
thank you, Dr. Sean.. just enough important info, and too bad the typical "doctor" not only ignores this type of data, but pushes drugs and surgery... Really sad that many people just take their word for it and dont do any research.
Question if I may: Lycopene. if taking 100 mg should you split the dose and should Lycopene be taken on an empty stomach or with food. Thanks in advance
Thanks for the question. Splitting the dosage into two smaller doses, such as 50mg each, could potentially enhance absorption and utilization by your body. Additionally, taking it with food, preferably a meal containing healthy fats, can improve lycopene absorption since it's fat-soluble. This is because lycopene is absorbed more effectively in the presence of dietary fats. Hope this helps!
Tomatoes are generally not harmful when consumed in moderation. However, they could affect the kidneys due to their potassium and oxalate content, especially high levels of oxalates, which could potentially cause kidney issues. you could try a lycopene supplement alone, if you don't have any issue.
Hello! The lycopene content in tomatoes can vary based on factors like size, ripeness, and variety. On average, one medium-sized tomato contains about 3 to 4 milligrams of lycopene. Therefore, to obtain approximately 50 milligrams of lycopene, you would need to consume roughly 13 to 17 medium-sized tomatoes. Sun-dried tomatoes, on the other hand, are more concentrated in lycopene. One ounce (approximately 28 grams) of sun-dried tomatoes can contain around 6 to 10 milligrams of lycopene. Therefore, to obtain approximately 50 milligrams of lycopene, you would need to consume around 5 to 8 ounces of sun-dried tomatoes.
Lycopene is generally considered safe when consumed in dietary amounts found in food. BUT!! there may be potential interactions between lycopene supplements and Eliquis, as lycopene can affect blood clotting and may interact with anticoagulant medications. Please consult with your doctor about it!
Autumn Olive (not a true olive) is said to be far higher in lycopene than tomatoes or anything else. It fixes nitrogen in the soil and is considered an invasive species in some areas. Birds love the red berries and spread the seed.
I am taking Lycopene capsules and it reduced nightly bathroom trips significantly... but I've noticed my arthritis [hips/knees] is flaring up - is it the Lycopene ?
There isn't evidence to suggest that lycopene, a natural pigment found in tomatoes and other red fruits, causes arthritis. In fact, some research indicates that lycopene might have anti-inflammatory properties, which could potentially be beneficial for arthritis sufferers. Arthritis is a complex condition influenced by various factors such as genetics, age, and lifestyle. While certain foods or supplements may impact arthritis symptoms positively or negatively, I don't think lycopene is the cause.
I've found profound relief for knee joint pain using highly absorbable forms of curcumin and good quality Omega 3. Currently using Nanocur, but BCM-95 and Meriva forms are also very good. Initially, you may want to double or triple dosage until you have relief and then back off to normal dosage for maintenance. I had meniscus removed in 1980 and my x-rays have shown bone-on-bone for many years. Was told I'm eligible for knee replacement anytime over 15 years ago. Then I discovered these to supplements, and at this rate I doubt if I'll ever need a knee joint replacement.
Dr. Sean, I think you only need 2 teaspoons Lycopene powder to obtain 500mg Lycopene carotenoid.
Here's my computation:
From package label, serving size of Lycopene powder 200mg will provide 10mg Lycopene carotenoid
200mg : 10mg - this is the ratio as printed in the package label
5000mg: 1 tsp - this is the ratio that 1 teaspoon can hold of 5000mg of powder according to google
Dividing 5000mg by 200mg equals 25 which means a teaspoon can hold 25 times the serving size.
Filling the teaspoon with Lycopene powder will result to:
25 x 200mg(Lycopene powder) : 25 x 10mg(Lycopene carotenoid) - is also equivalent to
5000mg (also 1 teaspoon Lycopene powder) : 250mg(Lycopene carotenoid)
therefore 1 teaspoon can yield 250mg(Lycopene carotenoid) or in 2 teaspoons can yield 500mg(Lycopene carotenoid)
Thank you! This has been such a headache 😂

please e-mail me with the questions.😊
Thank you very much
Thank you very much!!!
Thank you!😊
One of many last questions, should I consider taking [ L-Arginine ], even though all of the foods, I eat contain [ L-Arginine ] ( Fish (salmon, haddock, sardines).
Nuts and seeds (Brazilian nuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds), Legumes (soybeans, chickpeas).
Whole grains (brown rice, oats). ). My physical activity consist of a rotating weekly walk plan (Mon - Fri, 3 - 4 KM), Sunday - 10KM Walk.
AS OF THIS DATE NO MEDICAL DOCTOR CAN TELL ME WHAT IS THE MAJOR / SINGULAR/ CAUSE OF MY ENLARGED PROSTATE, OR OFFERED SOME OF THE MODERN MEDICAL TECHNICS TO REDUCE ITS SIZE - SURGICALLY OR THROUGH MEDICATION. YOUR THOUGHTS.
In Eastern Medicine, we divide an enlarged prostate into many different categories, such as yungpye (urinary retention), imjeung (inflammation), nopye (urinary retention), sinheo (kidney deficiency), suche (fluid retention), sudok (water toxicity), eohyeol (blood stasis), binnyo (frequent urination), and noryu (urinary incontinence). Do you notice there is more than one urinary retention? It's because those terms are also divided into more detailed categories. In Eastern Medicine, we see the body as a whole, meaning that an enlarged prostate is related to the kidney, and this kidney can be affected by the lung, spleen, heart, and liver. I know this might sound weird, but try consulting with an Eastern medicine practitioner. It will make sense!

Excellent video & sharing away 👍🏽
Thank you kindly!
Very Informative.Thank you so much 😊
Thank you so much 😊
The bulk brand of lycopene you recommend at the end only has 5% of that 200mg in lycopene (on the back it shows 10mg). So that wouldn't come close to the 500mg recommended. (If I'm reading that right).
Yes, it has been quite confusing. I apologize for not providing a clearer and more accurate method. That brand was the only one I thought would make it easier to take a high dosage.😢
Ketchup is full of sugar and induce inflammation to the prostate. Maybe tomato paste is a good substitute. The lycopene powder shown here, is it organic? Thank you
I agree, Ketchup indeed contains lots of sugar.I agree, ketchup indeed contains a lot of sugar. I am not sure if bulk supplements are organic or not.😊

Thank you
Thank you Dr. God bless from Ethiopia
I looked at the numbers on the package of Lycopene powder on your video. 200 mg of Lycopene powder is equal to 10 mg of pure Lycopene. You have to take 10,000 mg of Lycopene powder to obtain 500 mg of pure Lycopene. You have to multiply both sides of the equation 200 mg of lycopene powder = 10 mg of pure Lycopene by 50. My scale will measure in grams. One gram is equal to 1,000 mg. So 10 grams (10,000) of Lycopene powder will equal 500 mg of pure Lycopene. Given that lycopene is a lipid-soluble(fat) compound, consuming it with fat increases its bioavailability. Dr. Sean PLEASE check my math. Is it correct? Teaspoons are a measure of volume while grams are a measure of weight. Until I receive the powder I have no way of measuring weight to get volume.
I apologize for the confusion. This is definitely my mistake. I calculated that 200mg is equivalent to 1/10 of a teaspoon, which led to the of 5 teaspoons for 500mg of lycopene. Let me recalculate. 500mg divided by 10mg per serving equals 50 servings for 500mg of lycopene. Let's assume 5 teaspoons make up 1 gram (although this may vary due to differences in weight and volume). Therefore, 200mg equals (200mg / 1000mg per gram) * (1 gram / 5 teaspoons), which is approximately 0.04 teaspoons per serving. Multiplying by 50 servings gives us 2 teaspoons. I considered this option because taking 10 capsules isn't easy, so I was exploring alternatives, and this seemed like the most convenient one.
@@Dr.SeanSong I have tried to confirm all of this math. I think there is enough confusion out there to warrant a video just to clear that up.
Thank you Dr.... Is it also effective when you blend the tomatoes and drink?
Hello, please make sure that those tomatoes are cooked!
What about tomato juice in a can?
Thank you Dr sir for helping me
Good video. Thanks
Thank you ❤
Thanks for the information 👍
Thank you!👍
The label in the back of the promoted supplement indicates that only 5% of the 200mg dose is lycopene, which falls short of the recommended 500mg lycopene intake. The rest are fillers. How is this a viable product??
I agree, why do most companies put the fillers? Crazy!
Very good sir.
Thank you!
Hi. Looking at the powder label it says 200 mg equals 10 mg of lycopene ( standardized to 5%) so 3 tablespoons of powder is 30 mg. Is it the same as taking just one 30mg capsule of lycopene? Thanks.
You meant teaspoon, right? Tablespoon is a lot. Let me copy and paste the comment I made below!

I take tamulosin. I am a truck driver and I started experiencing that I couldn't empty my bladder. I would urinate. Then 2 minutes later I had to go a little more.
iam 46 ,expeirencing this.disappointing to know medical science has no cure for bph except surgery which cause other problems.
@@stephenroger4527 Look into the PAE procedure ... It's extremely effective and re-treatment rates are quite low. Best part is no trans-urethral resection of tissue which can lead to incontinence and sexual dysfunction ... Micro spheres are injected into your prostatic artery which shrinks the size of the prostate very effectively. All done via a small catheter inserted in the femoral or radial artery. It's what I'm going to do when medication becomes less effective. Right now I'm holding my own.
Will Massaging The Prostate With Castor Oil Shrink the Prostate? Will Taking two 50mg capsules twice a day totaling 200mg is safe? I will definitely try the Lycopene Powder I learned about tomatoes at a Health Fair when I was in my 40's.
Massaging the prostate with castor oil is a controversial practice with limited scientific evidence to support its effectiveness. While some anecdotal reports suggest benefits, it's essential to approach such practices with caution.
Regarding your question about dosage, taking two 50mg capsules of a supplement twice a day, totaling 200mg, is generally safe, but try it for about 2-3 months first.
Diet is key. In everything.
very nice ! ...but isn't there something that actually shrinks the prostate?

Hi I read that zinc is good for the prostae for shrinking it together with Lycopene and Sabal, the doctor recommended each day 10 -12 mg zinc . Is that save because you mentioned that it can enlarge the prostate ????. Do you recomend any dossage? By the way I bought 500 mg Lycopne capsules at Amazon. Real good, just starting..
Oh, they have a 500mg capsule? That’s great! The dosage of the powder has been a headache. 😢 If your doctor prescribed you 10-12mg of zinc, you should follow that. They know your condition the best!🙂
Thank you for informative video. I'll start 5mg of Lycopene vit. tell me? I take 50 mg of zinc daily. I've enlarged prostrate. Im on Tamsulosin. What's your advice ? how much zinc should I take daily. Also Zinc I think helps prevent Flu Colds etc.
15mg a day for men
I'm sorry, please understand I cannot provide any advice here.
Most all of the lycopene pills 💊 or powder sold on Amazon are NOT Organic. Is that a concern? Thanks 😊
You're absolutely right! Finding trustworthy companies that source high-quality ingredients can be challenging, especially on Amazon. It's essential to look for products that are certified and have third-party testing to ensure their purity and efficacy. Always do your research and consider reaching out to the manufacturer for more information. Thank you for raising this important point!😊

I eat sun dried tomatos in olive oil.
Tasty and should have a decent dose of lycopene.
That's a great way to have it. On average, sun-dried tomatoes contain approximately 45 mg of lycopene per 100 grams, so make sure to have it every day!😊
Hullo, Doc.
How can I access, your medication, I've had a BPH,issue for the past few years (15)..& I've been taking, TAMSULOSIN..but I need the lycopene supplements, please help, I'm 70 years old 🙏
Hello, I don't sell any supplements, but one of the subscribers mentioned that there is a 500 mg capsule of lycopene available on Amazon.
can i keep taking tamsulosin with licopene ??
Q : should i stop taking my Tamsulosin if I start taking Lycopene? Now i take Tamsulosin once a day before sleep.
I'm sorry, please understand I cannot provide any advice here. but yes, you need to keep taking Tamsulosin and please consult with your primary doctor. 😉
thanks for that information it really big help to me.last saturday my doctor told that i have to test my PSA.because around 2am my pee sometimes normal but sometimes very to small amount of my pee i feel there is still inside my pee inside.and by sunday i allready get the result 9.48ng/ml.what do you of my result.do you think i need to see my doctor or the lycopene will help me.thanks more power to you.
What medication does your doctor want you to be on? Lycopene is generally safe, but if you want to try it, I think it would be best to let your doctor know before you start.
Saw one video where the recommendation was tomatoes, but also a whole lemon in a smoothy, said lemon juice only has 15% of lemon nutrients. But lemon peel is rich in nutrients, any truth to this?
Yes, there is some truth to the recommendation regarding tomatoes and lemon peel. Tomatoes are known for their high lycopene content, which is a powerful antioxidant. As for lemons, while the juice contains some nutrients, such as vitamin C, the peel actually contains additional beneficial compounds, including flavonoids and essential oils. Therefore, including the whole lemon, including the peel, in a smoothie could indeed provide a broader range of nutrients. However, it's essential to thoroughly wash the lemon peel to remove any pesticide residue and ensure safety.

Some say that tomatoes being a nightshade could trigger inflammation and immune dysfunction What’s your take on that 🤔
Thank you for your question. Just as individuals can have allergic reactions to different things, some might experience negative or sensitive reactions to tomatoes. Scientific evidence supporting a direct link between tomatoes and the spread of inflammation and immune dysfunction is limited. I think it's important for individuals to listen to their bodies and pay attention to how they personally respond to different foods, including tomatoes. I hope this helps.😊
@@Dr.SeanSong I get it really it seems kind of obvious I was hoping you would elaborate on nightshades findings and tomatoes in particular since you video was about tomatoes anyway If you find that to be irrelevant let us know Thank you
What are the other rich sources of lycopene?
Watermelon is better than tomatoes. also hibiscus tea has helped me . I take hibiscus tea ( twice a day) , sprinkled with turmeric , Powder black pepper( black pepper helps turmeric to be absorbed) and cinnamon + honey. My improvement I say it is 50% in a month . Tomatoes did nothing for me except give me reflux and bloating and didn’t do anything at all for my prostate. God bless
Gacfruit (Vietnamese fruit): 223 mg
Sun-dried tomatoes: 45.9 mg
Tomato paste: 28.8 mg
Tomato sauce: 12.8 mg
Guava: 5.2 mg
Watermelon: 4.5 mg
Tomato, raw: 2.6 mg
Papaya: 1.8 mg

Pectin or the "red" part of an apple is supposedly solid as well for cancer as well as reduction or prevention measures. Marinara is another that I haven't seen mentioned
What form of zinc should I avoid, since there are several different kinbds of zinc?
it's generally recommended to avoid zinc oxide. and go for the zinc picolinate or zinc citrate.
@@Dr.SeanSongznAA this bounded with amino acids. Better absorption!
Great narrative! Appreciate the brevity in getting right to the 'crotch' of the matter! :P Respect to your skills!
thank you, Dr. Sean.. just enough important info, and too bad the typical "doctor" not only ignores this type of data, but pushes drugs and surgery... Really sad that many people just take their word for it and dont do any research.
Thank you very much it' works great 👍 👌 😀 😊 ☺️ 🙂

Is lycopene available over the counter?
I believe so, like GNC, vitamin shops. You can also get it from amazon.
Question if I may: Lycopene. if taking 100 mg should you split the dose and should Lycopene be taken on an empty stomach or with food. Thanks in advance
Thanks for the question. Splitting the dosage into two smaller doses, such as 50mg each, could potentially enhance absorption and utilization by your body. Additionally, taking it with food, preferably a meal containing healthy fats, can improve lycopene absorption since it's fat-soluble. This is because lycopene is absorbed more effectively in the presence of dietary fats. Hope this helps!
@@Dr.SeanSonglycopene is used also for prostate C ...
The only problem with tomato is that it can effect kidney
Tomatoes are generally not harmful when consumed in moderation. However, they could affect the kidneys due to their potassium and oxalate content, especially high levels of oxalates, which could potentially cause kidney issues. you could try a lycopene supplement alone, if you don't have any issue.
Thanks ....👍🤠
Thank you!

How many tomatoes are equivalent to 50 mg lycopene?
Hello! The lycopene content in tomatoes can vary based on factors like size, ripeness, and variety. On average, one medium-sized tomato contains about 3 to 4 milligrams of lycopene. Therefore, to obtain approximately 50 milligrams of lycopene, you would need to consume roughly 13 to 17 medium-sized tomatoes.
Sun-dried tomatoes, on the other hand, are more concentrated in lycopene. One ounce (approximately 28 grams) of sun-dried tomatoes can contain around 6 to 10 milligrams of lycopene. Therefore, to obtain approximately 50 milligrams of lycopene, you would need to consume around 5 to 8 ounces of sun-dried tomatoes.
@@Dr.SeanSong Thanks a lot for your kind reply. I suppose only tomatoes are quite a lot to consume, so any lycopene supplements that can be suggested?

can i take it with eliquis 5mg BID? thanks
Lycopene is generally considered safe when consumed in dietary amounts found in food. BUT!! there may be potential interactions between lycopene supplements and Eliquis, as lycopene can affect blood clotting and may interact with anticoagulant medications. Please consult with your doctor about it!
Where to buy Lycupine powder?

It worked for me but must be taken in a hot drink with oil.theres an indigenous plant with many times the lycopene content of tomatoes
What plant is that??
@mcfact1827 I can't recall but it grows like a weed in georgia, when I find it I will let you know.
Autumn Olive (not a true olive) is said to be far higher in lycopene than tomatoes or anything else. It fixes nitrogen in the soil and is considered an invasive species in some areas. Birds love the red berries and spread the seed.
@@jhonprimavera cool, thank you
I am taking Lycopene capsules and it reduced nightly bathroom trips significantly...
but I've noticed my arthritis [hips/knees] is flaring up - is it the Lycopene ?
There isn't evidence to suggest that lycopene, a natural pigment found in tomatoes and other red fruits, causes arthritis. In fact, some research indicates that lycopene might have anti-inflammatory properties, which could potentially be beneficial for arthritis sufferers. Arthritis is a complex condition influenced by various factors such as genetics, age, and lifestyle. While certain foods or supplements may impact arthritis symptoms positively or negatively, I don't think lycopene is the cause.
Thanks

I've found profound relief for knee joint pain using highly absorbable forms of curcumin and good quality Omega 3. Currently using Nanocur, but BCM-95 and Meriva forms are also very good. Initially, you may want to double or triple dosage until you have relief and then back off to normal dosage for maintenance. I had meniscus removed in 1980 and my x-rays have shown bone-on-bone for many years. Was told I'm eligible for knee replacement anytime over 15 years ago. Then I discovered these to supplements, and at this rate I doubt if I'll ever need a knee joint replacement.
