Plasma lycopene and antioxidant vitamins in asthma: the PLAVA study

Riccioni G, Bucciarelli T, Mancini B, Di Ilio C, Della Vecchia R, D'Orazio N.  looked into the suggestion “…that lycopene and antioxidant vitamins have significant antioxidant and protective effects… Serum lycopene concentration was significantly lower in asthmatic subjects…. vitamin A concentration was significantly lower in asthmatics… Dietary supplementation or adequate intake of lycopene and vitamin A rich foods may be beneficial in asthmatic subjects.” 231

Our adult protocols call for 1000 mcg of lycopene daily and Vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene.
