We know a lot about tomatoes. They are a nightshade plant, come from Central and South America, are closely related to potatoes, peppers and eggplants and have many names: golden apple, love apple and tomato. And, they are a berry. You either love them or you hate them. There is hardly anything in between. And yet they never cease to surprise. A tomato extract called WSTC II (water-soluble lycopene-free tomato concentrate) has now been obtained from the jelly that surrounds the seeds, which has very surprising properties. Tomato extract contains secondary plant substances such as flavonoids and polyphenols. These have a positive effect on the regulation of blood flow, as they make it more difficult for the platelets to stick together through several cellular modulations and can counteract a tendency to thrombosis.
Tomato extract has a positive effect on blood flow
Tomato extract is therefore suitable for preventing primary or secondary cardiovascular events and contributes to greater well-being and performance through regulated blood flow. This is also consistent with the observation that with a diet rich in tomatoes in the Mediterranean region, the risk of cardiovascular complications is lower than in other regions where tomatoes are less common on the menu. Tomato extract and its positive effect on blood flow even surpasses classic anticoagulants such as acetylsalicylic acid in many respects. While the latter only intervenes in the coagulation process at specific points, tomato extract acts at several points in the activation process of the platelets without changing their natural structure.
Natural versus chemical
And while chemical anticoagulants can have numerous side effects, no undesirable effects have been observed with tomato extract. The normal coagulation function is not affected by taking tomato extract. This makes tomato extract particularly suitable for prevention in people with high levels of stress, type 2 diabetes, advanced age or with a genetic predisposition to thrombosis.
