I have taken this twice daily at 4Mg and recently started taking 12 MG in the morning and 4 Mg in the evening. I'm 74 and 3 years ago started to have thin skin issues, bleeding and bruising easily. At 1 pill per day I felt some improvement then started double that dose and wow! My skin is soft and flexible again and I don't get sores and bruised arms at all. My eyes feel great and even though I fi...

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 was having terrible knee pain after hiking a 5-6 miles. After taking 12mg of Astaxanthin daily, I've haven't have any knee pain and I'm now doing 8-11 mile hikes. I still have muscle soreness, but that's to be expected. Lots of stretching before and after help with how long I feel sore, plus it last less than before.

I have been using astaxanthin for about 2 years. While Using it my joint and arthritic pain lessened by at least 80%. I also noticed that my carpal tunnel symptoms completely went away. I ran out and within 2 months all my symptoms were back.

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 am a 67 year old contractor, who still works actively on rooftops daily. The astaxanthin I take has eliminated muscle soreness and actually reduced back pain events very significantly. Lastly, my flaky dry skin has become smoother. BioAstin is sold at many retailers including Costco.

Have been taking 4 mg astaxanthin for about 2 years and have noticed that my skin is softer and more supple. I practice safe sun exposure and tan very well with few sun spots and I have never burned since I've been using this supplement. The overall look and texture of my skin is better than it was when I was younger. This is not a miracle drug, but I believe it has its benefits - especially for aging skin!

The doctors told me I was not a candidate for surgery. I tried all there prescription medicines and still had terrible shoulder pain. I take 8 mg a day of the algae Astaxanthin and the pain has completely stopped. This is far superior to prescription drugs for joint pain.

I love what this is doing to my skin. I started with 2 4 mg pills a day but could not sleep so cut to 1 4mg pill. I can still only sleep about 6 hours tops. To me it acts like speed. I feel an immediate heart rate increase. I am never hungry and have to force myself to eat. I have endless energy. I am walking twice as far on the treadmill. I will keep it up a while it has been less than a week but already see improvements in my skin.

Although,I believe I have felt better after taking it, I experienced extreme heartburn and trouble sleeping,also when I stopped it I noticed a tooth stopped being sensitive. I didn't read any one else had that problem. The heartburn was so bad it is what made me stop it to see if I felt better . Yes all three symptoms stopped.

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

I have osteo arthritis in my hip. It is moderately severe (doctor's note). I had been taking glucosomine chondroitin but decided to change to astazanthin. I worked quicker and also worked better than what I was using. But I noticed I cannot skip a day of a dose.

I took this after getting a bad sunburn. After one dose of Jarrow Formula (not on the list) Astraxanthin 4 mg. at 3 pm, my face became flushed, my nose became stuffed up. I had tightness in my chest. The lights became very bright as it seemed I had become photo sensitive. I became nervous and jittery. My neck muscles felt very tight and twitched. I was unable to sleep or relax, and I became very aggressive and felt angry. I will never take this again. What a nightmare. Should be a warning on the label! Read More Read Less
