topicLycopene Skin Photoprotection Meta-Analysis
claimAlthough carotenoids have never been identified as being essential for humans as long as preformed vitamin A is available through the diet [,], the increasing evidence of their important role in the biology and human health continues to stimulate broad interest in the carotenoid field.
