Other examples in the body: Prostate 162-fold higher alpha-tocopherol than lycopene concentrations Skin 17 to 269-fold higher alpha-tocopherol than lycopene concentrations Plasma 53-fold higher alpha tocopherol than lycopene concentrations1 Thus, despite the fact that lycopene is a better antioxidant in vitro , since the concentration of alpha-tocopherol is so much higher in tissues (locations of need), it is likely the more meaningful antioxidant
