Solanum lycopersicum
Evidence Level
Limited
1 Clinical Trial
3 Documented Benefits
2/5 Evidence Score

Cordiart® is a whole tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) nutrient complex concentrated for lycopene along with the tomato's other natural carotenoids. Research shows that the full tomato complex, rather than isolated lycopene, supports healthy blood pressure and antioxidant defense, making it a heart-focused tomato ingredient.

Studied Dose Providing about 15 to 30 mg of lycopene per day.
Active Compound Tomato nutrient complex providing lycopene together with phytoene, phytofluene, beta-carotene, and tocopherols.

Benefits

Healthy blood pressure

In a double-blind randomized dose-response trial, a tomato nutrient complex supported healthy blood pressure, an effect not seen with isolated lycopene alone.

Antioxidant defense

The tomato carotenoids act as antioxidants that may help protect cells and LDL cholesterol from oxidation.

Cardiovascular support

By supporting healthy blood pressure and potentially helping limit LDL oxidation, the complex may support overall cardiovascular health.

Mechanism of action

1

Whole-complex carotenoid action

Combining lycopene with the tomato's other carotenoids and tocopherols provides broader antioxidant and vascular support than lycopene alone.

2

Endothelial support

Tomato carotenoids support healthy blood-vessel function and nitric-oxide signaling.
