is a next-generation functional ingredient expertly crafted from premium-grade tomato pomace, designed to preserve and amplify a comprehensive spectrum of bioactive compounds including lycopene, quercetin, kaempferol, vitamin C, essential fatty acids, and phytosterols. These compounds work synergistically to neutralize oxidative stress, suppress inflammatory pathways, modulate lipid metabolism, and support vascular, dermal, and metabolic health. Lycopene, a highly potent antioxidant, plays a central role by quenching free radicals, inhibiting LDL cholesterol oxidation, and reducing cholesterol biosynthesis and absorption, thereby safeguarding vascular integrity and mitigating atherosclerotic risk. Quercetin and kaempferol enhance vascular and systemic resilience by inhibiting pro-inflammatory enzymes such as COX-2, downregulating cytokine production, and promoting endothelial function to improve blood flow. Phytosterols further support cardiovascular health by naturally decreasing intestinal cholesterol absorption, fostering improved lipid profiles. In dermal applications, lycopene protects skin structure against UV-induced collagen degradation, vitamin C stimulates collagen biosynthesis by serving as a critical cofactor for stabilizing the triple-helix structure, and quercetin and kaempferol reinforce skin barrier integrity by mitigating oxidative and inflammatory insults. Essential fatty acids stabilize cellular membranes, enhance skin hydration, and modulate immune responses essential for tissue repair and regeneration. Biotomato™ also supports metabolic regulation and glycemic control, with quercetin inhibiting key carbohydrate-digesting enzymes to slow postprandial glucose absorption and enhance insulin sensitivity, while lycopene and phytosterols contribute by attenuating systemic inflammation and optimizing lipid handling. Delivered through an advanced, ultrafine self-microencapsulating system, Biotomato™ particles self-assemble into a protective hydrogel layer upon gastric entry, shielding sensitive compounds from acid degradation and ensuring precise, localized release and absorption within the small intestine, thereby maximizing both hydrophilic and lipophilic bioavailability. Altogether, Biotomato™ offers a highly integrated solution for promoting cardiovascular vitality, dermal rejuvenation, metabolic flexibility, and systemic resilience, establishing a new benchmark in plant-based, bioactive-driven functional nutrition tailored to address contemporary health challenges.
