I had never heard of it, @goldensrbest. I did look it up, it sounds like it has several benefits. Like more energy and stamina. Then, I read a review where someone said it helped their memory. I'm interested.

Are you taking it, or considering it?

Astaxanthin
Andrew Lessman's Astaxanthin is uniquely designed to deliver a pure, concentrated source of all-natural Astaxanthin, which is perhaps nature's most powerful anti-oxidant carotenoid.

Astaxanthin is derived from aquatic algae and it is responsible for the rich, reddish-pink color observed in many aquatic species, including salmon, crab, lobster, shrimp, krill and even the flamingo, whose diet is abundant in Astaxanthin-producing algae. Astaxanthin-rich foods are principally fish, shellfish and crustaceans who consume Astaxanthin-rich organisms, however Astaxanthin's most pure and plentiful source is the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis, which is the principal source used to make this product.

Astaxanthin has been consumed for centuries, but has only recently gained recognition for its beneficial properties. Recent research indicates Astaxanthin is many times more powerful an anti-oxidant than Beta-Carotene, Lutein, Lycopene and Zeaxanthin, and up to hundreds of times more powerful than Vitamin E! Astaxanthin helps protect cells and cell membranes from oxidative damage and it can cross the blood-brain barrier, enabling it to lend support to the delicate tissues of the nervous system and brain. It also helps promote the health of the tissues of the eye, enhancing visual acuity and eye function.

Astaxanthin's wide-ranging supportive benefits also extend to the heart, liver, breast and immune system. To assure you the greatest benefits possible, we use only the most well-researched, purest, highest quality, contaminant-free source of Astaxanthin.

Consume one or more capsules daily, or as recommended by a health care professional

I have been using this product and so far I really like it.

@sommertime.........

Thank you for posting.. I, too take Astaxanthin.

".....I had learned from my chemistry lab research, this is a sleeper / one of the finest antioxidants, and definitely very beneficial for heart, along with Omegas; my personal is Omega 3. Most doctors go with a higher Omega, but that's usually by prescription, only".

From my last follow up [ yearly blood work ], everything came back A1 great. I could never maintain the daily requirement of any particular vit/ min from a diet alone.

I used it and it made my eye floaters go away. I can't take it any longer as it makes me forget to breath when I am asleep.

Shanelle — Tue, 19 Dec 2017 05:14:11 GMT

I took the AL version for six months after my lasik eye surgery. It made my vision crystal clear and really helped with night vision. I only stopped to reduce the number of vitamins I was taking. At one point I took about 15 a day.

I take other supplements for brain, eyes, cardiovascular health. It looks like I should reconsider them and switch to the Astaxanthin.
