Comment:
I am 78 and have been taking 12 mg a day. I am taking this for a sore knee and to see if it would improve my eyesight. I am very excited to see my vision is considerably better. My knee not so much. But I intend to continue taking this as I consider improved vision a true blessing and I am so happy when I look out and I can see things so clearly.

Comment:
I've been using this supplement for my acne problems. I used to use proactive to get rid of my acne but I stop using it since I've been taking astaxanthin. Lots of people were very amazed when I tell them astaxanthin get rid of my acne. If I stop taking it, I notice my acne comes back. Also it's great for protecting my skin from the sun. I don't get sunburn.

I have degeneration of two disks in my neck that left my right arm virtually useless and experiencing substantial pain. Within three days, all pain vanished and use of arm reappeared. I have been taking 12mg of nutrex daily for over two years.

Comment:
UV protection/ natural sun protection I have an allergy to the sun, and tend to not be able to stay out side in direct sunlight for any longer than 10 to 15 min without starting to get a rash and blisters... With taking Sunpills the length of time increases to about a half hour to an hour of direct sunlight causing a negative reaction

Comment:
I originally started using astaxanthin to protect myself from the hundreds of x-rays my dentist takes. I found that astaxanthin cleared my acne and firmed up my skin and made it look more radiant
