New Chapter LycoPom is a combination of these two powerful antioxidants. The lycopene in LYCOPOM is different from conventional lycopene, it is not chemically extracted but rather is Supercritical Extracted meaning they take nature's finest herbs and vegetables and extract a highly concentrated form of the precious ingredient that is a beneficial carotenoid, preserving the wisdom of nature.
Carotenoids have been found in many studies to help fight free radicals which in turn helps prevent cancer, strengthen the heart and help with overall well being.
One serving of LycoPom contains:
- 100gm of tomatoes
- 13 pomegranates
- Seven other important whole herbs proving lycopene's antioxidant and cell supportive properties, including Turmeric, Sea Buckthorn and Rosehips
New Chapter's LycoPom delivers synergistic compounds into lycopene, such as the phytofluene and phytoene in tomatoes and rubixanthin, beta-cryptoxanthin and zeaxanthin in rosehips.
New Chapter's whole-fruit pomegranate extract is grown without the use of pesticides and delivers a consistent broad spectrum that contains protective compounds, including ellagic acid (very helpful for hormone imbalance) and the important class of compounds called punicalagins, which has been reported in research to be nearly five times more potent than Vitamin E.

- 34,000 Americans will be diagnosed with oral cancer this year.
- Of these 34,000 newly diagnosed people, 48% will be dead within five years.
- Oral cancer, unlike many other cancers, has not shown a decrease in mortality in the last 30 years.
- 25% of oral cancers occur in people with no known risk factors.
- Oral cancer occurrence is rising in young people, women, and non-smokers, those people traditionally thought of as being protected from oral cancers. This is often caused by HPV, the human papilloma virus, the same virus that causes 95% of cervical cancer.
- Oral cancer is as common as leukemia and it claims more lives than melanoma and cervical cancers.
You may wonder, "Am I at risk for oral cancer?" There are several known risk factors.
Tobacco use - This is the single most important risk factor for oral cancer. This includes all tobacco types: chewing tobacco, cigars, pipes and cigarettes.
Excessive alcohol consumption - More than 15 drinks a week puts you at a higher risk.
Tobacco and alcohol combined create a significant increased risk for oral cancer.
Unprotected exposure to sun - This causes an increase in cancer of the lips.
Low intake of fruits and vegetables - These foods provide protective nutrients that help to ward off cancers.
Several methods are available for detecting and screening for oral cancers. One method used is a "brush biopsy." These have been around for several years. It consists of a little brush that your dentist will use to scrape off some of the mucosal cells. The brush is sent to an outside laboratory for analysis.
Another method is the Velscope. The Velscope is an early oral cancer detection device that uses a dye and light to visualize abnormal cells. Oral cancers can be seen by the naked eye only when they are quite advanced. This is why the mortality rate of oral cancers is so high. The Velscope is an inexpensive screening tool that can be utilized to see these cellular changes early on.
The Vizlite is another device that uses dye and light to visualize cellular changes. These methods also can detect a change in the cells below the surface of the tissue.
In the event of a positive test, all these methods would be followed up with a biopsy for definitive diagnosis.
The main purpose of these methods is to catch a cancer early on. As with any cancer, early detection is the key. All of these tests are simple, non-invasive and inexpensive. If you have any concerns or have risk factors in your lifestyle, don't wait! Check it out. Your life could depend on it.
