LONDON — Scientists have modified a natural compound found in tomatoes to produce a treatment which could be used to help stave off heart disease and stroke.
The compound Lycopene is known to be a powerful antioxidant, blocking the breakdown of fats in the blood, which lead to bad cholesterol and the build-up of fatal atherosclerotic deposits in arteries. So far, no formula has been created to allow lycopene to be reliably absorbed by the human body.
Now a team at Cambridge Theranostics have refined a lycopene complex to produce Ateronon. Trials involving around 150 people with heart disease indicate Ateronon can reduce the oxidation of harmful fats in the blood to almost zero within eight weeks. Since Ateronon is made entirely from natural food elements, it has circumvented the drug regulatory process, and is sold as a dietary supplement.
Two major hospital research projects on Ateronon will begin in the United Kingdom and America. The Daily Telegraph
