Lycopene that comes from food sources has no set recommended intake amount. The average person consumes approximately 2 milligrams per day in their diet. This isn’t nearly enough to reap the antioxidant benefits, as past research has found those with high blood pressure consuming 12 mg per day of lycopene experienced lower blood pressure levels.
If taking lycopene for high blood pressure, 15 mg of a tomato extract (such as LycoMato) daily for six to eight weeks may help.
However, always be sure to consult with your doctor before adding a regular supplement to your diet. *
