Lycopene is a red antioxidant pigment found naturally in tomatoes. In supplements it is almost always part of a multivitamin or antioxidant formula, and it gives a nutraceutical range a recognisable premium product.
General physicians and gynaecologists recommend these products, and many chemists sell them across the counter as daily wellness supplements. Lycopene syrups with multivitamins are common in appetite and general health lines.
Antioxidant blends and forms listed
Forms include tablets, capsules, syrups, soft gelatin capsules and dry syrup. Lycopene appears most often with:
- Zinc
- Multivitamin and multimineral blends
- Selenium
- Omega fatty acids
Softgels with these ingredients are popular for adults, while syrups suit family use.
Selecting a nutraceutical franchise partner
Lycopene products are often sold on presentation, so look carefully at labels, cartons and softgel finish. Check whether each product carries FSSAI or drug registration, as that affects what claims can be made. Compare PTR and margin, and ask what schemes apply to supplements. Get the monopoly area written. Confirm the shelf life on arrival and the return process for near expiry stock. Ask about counter displays, leaflets and samples to support retail sales.
Third-party manufacturing of lycopene products
Brief the manufacturer on the full formula, the form, the pack and flavour for syrups. Lycopene is sensitive to light and air, so ask how the plant protects it during production and what packing it recommends. Softgels need an encapsulation line. Confirm MOQ, cost and lead time. Request stability data, assay results and batch reports. Make sure the licence category matches your product, and keep your FSSAI or drug licence, GST and trademark ready.
Label wording needs care in this category. Stay within the claims your licence type allows and keep promotion factual, which protects the brand during inspections and keeps chemists comfortable stocking it. A modest first batch also helps you judge whether softgels or syrups move better in your area.
