Why this tier: A row whose own name is a brand (Lyc-O-Mato, Tomat-O-Red, LycoBeads) declares tomato-extract mass, not lycopene, and is kept unresolved. Most common labeled source, but supplement-form lycopene sources (tomato oleoresin, beadlets, synthetic) were not verified against each other in head-to-head human bioavailability studies, so it is not ranked.
