Lycopene probiotic
Lycopene is an antioxidant naturally occuring in tomatoes, giving them their rich red colour. This antioxidant is also known to be lacking in the elderly population, meaning there are higher levels of unregulated oxidative stress. This biobrick is induced by oxidative stress and will then produce lycopene as a mean to 'mop up' the oxidative stress in the environment in the form of a probiotic.
