    I have taken 4mg daily for 5 weeks. I work outside and even with sunscreen get tan. However While my skin definitely did not pick up any pigment (may have gotten lighter) I had some worrisome side effects. I started feeling faint every time I stood up and finally started having trouble taking a full breath. I was at the Doctor and while my blood pressure is always on the low/normal side (10 ...

    I began taking this supplement 60 days prior to a trip to Central America, to prevent radiation damage from body scanners. I was at the beach for hours with NO sunscreen, and didn't even tan, much less burn. Really amazed at the effect. Will repeat for trip to the Caribbean next month.

    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.

    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.
