Ateronon
Ateronon (pronunciation: /ætɛˈrɒnɒn/) is a dietary supplement that contains a natural tomato extract known as LactoLycopene. This extract is known for its potential health benefits, particularly in relation to cardiovascular health.
Etymology
The name "Ateronon" is derived from the Latin word "ater", meaning black or dark, and "non", meaning not. This could potentially refer to the product's aim to prevent darkening or blockages within the arteries.
Ingredients
The primary ingredient in Ateronon is LactoLycopene, a form of the antioxidant lycopene that has been modified to be more easily absorbed by the body. Lycopene is a naturally occurring chemical that gives fruits and vegetables a red color. It is found in watermelons, pink grapefruits, apricots, and pink guavas. It is found in particularly high amounts in tomatoes and tomato products. In addition to LactoLycopene, Ateronon also contains Thiamin (Vitamin B1) and Selenium, both of which contribute to normal heart function.
Health Benefits
Ateronon has been studied for its potential health benefits, particularly in relation to heart health. Some studies suggest that the LactoLycopene in Ateronon may help to improve the flexibility of blood vessels, reduce inflammation, and decrease the risk of heart disease. However, more research is needed to confirm these potential benefits.
