World Heart Day – Three Generations of Lycopene Innovation

Tomato Extract Across Generations: Supporting Heart Health Naturally

September 29 marks World Heart Day, a global reminder of the importance of cardiovascular wellness. At Sibelius, we’ve dedicated years of research to one natural ingredient that continues to stand out for heart health: tomato extract (lycopene).

Lycopene and the Heart

Lycopene, the carotenoid that gives tomatoes their vibrant red colour, is a potent antioxidant. Clinical studies suggest that bioavailable tomato extract can:

Maintain endothelial function
Support circulation and healthy blood vessels
Reduce oxidative stress and lower LDL cholesterol oxidation by over 70% within just 2 weeks

Three Generations, One Natural Source

At Sibelius, we’ve built on this science with three generations of products all grounded in the same trusted tomato extract:

LactoMato™ – our first-generation formulation, inspired by the Mediterranean diet and its heart-health benefits.
T-MatoMax™ – our second-generation tomato extract product, delivering enhanced bioavailability while maintaining the same natural source.
LycoSURE™ – our latest generation, setting a new benchmark for quality and stability while keeping tomato extract at the core.

Each generation demonstrates our commitment to making lycopene more effective, accessible, and beneficial without ever moving away from its natural tomato origin.

On this World Heart Day, we celebrate the heart-protective power of tomato extract across three generations of innovation. By combining nature with cutting-edge science, Sibelius continues to unlock the full potential of lycopene for cardiovascular health.
