User Reviews for astaxanthin

I was told by a trusted eye surgeon that I had symptoms of incipient glaucoma. I asked him if there is a cure. Only drops which slow progression. I put off the second (peripheral vision)test and started Super Zeaxanthin with ... Plus Astaxanthin and C3g. When I returned month's later, after the pressure test, the doctor was motionless for about 25 seconds. He then told me to put my glasses on and that the test results were normal. This happened several (3 to 5) years ago. I have no symptoms of Glaucoma.Read More Read Less

I am seriously concerned about an allergic reaction. My eyes itched with first dose, second dose caused much sneezing and worse overall reaction. I am not allergic to shrimp.

This natural anti inflamatory was mention on dr Oz. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 15 years ago. Everything hurts, severe muscle joint and nerve problems. Even my feet ache so bad. Symptoms greatly improved when taking astaxanthin. I would like to have seen more clinical study results to see what side effects long term use causes though. It has worked better than any drug prescribed by a dr. Brand Healthy Origins

Taking astaxanthin for macular degeneration for about 6 mos. eye check shows mega improvement..one eye NO macular degeneration now.

It was recommended for macular degeneration. Brand was Source Naturals 2mg. During a 30 day period of use, I began to develop severe nerve pain in my feet that interfered with sleep. I tried alternate days of smaller doses, but pain increased. Pain stopped completely when I discontinued use.

does this cause flushing and insomni?

I started taking Astaxanthin daily after moving to Hawaii. I now have not used a sunscreen for over 9 years. It has prevented me from getting sun burned and peeling, like used to happen to me when I lived in Texas (w/o astaxanthin). One day last year I spent the entire day in the sun. I got home and it looked as if I was pretty sunburned. I anticpated to be in pain and to begin peeling within a few days. But, to my excitement, over the next couple of days it turned into a nice tan. I now take it when I anticipate being in the sun for long periods of time. It sure is nice not to need sunscreen which I understand can be harmful to you!Read More Read Less

I didn't sunburn for the first time in my life and if a little red, warm but not painful. But I am wondering if it causes problems with the bladder? Reddish tinted urine? Other than that, I am so completely sold on it. I like BioAstin better than the plain Astaxanthin.

Began taking this for overall health and improvement in skin (work out in the Caribbean sun all day). Has had the added benefit of improving my vision dramatically. Improvement stopped and reverted very slightly when I had stopped taking product. Started again staking product again, vision began to improve again. Distance prescription has gotten too strong again. Much stronger and I will need to change my glasses for second time in one year.

Using for buttocks pain 2 x 4mg. with coconut oil every a.m

Have used for 4 months now. Started for eye benefits and skin benefits, but also have back injury and pain constantly. This has helped a great deal...almost pain free. I don't take fish oil. It's toxic. I get my Omega 3's and 6's from organic vegetarian source. At age 57, perfect blood pressure, perfect cholesterol numbers, perfect blood glucose. It's all about eating right and taking care of yourself.

Began taking bio-astin instead of glucosamine chondroitin for a chronic knee pain and stiffness. Knee was better after a few weeks and eventually cleared up completely. Now I take it daily for general well-being.

This ingredient was added to a krill oil supplement - adversely affected my autistic daughter - made her very agressive and hard to sleep.

I have had constipation problems throughout my lifetime (55 year old female) This has been the most effective product I have ever used. I am now regular! I buy mine at Puritans pride and good price! WoooHoooo! This worked for me and no more laxatives, etc...ever again!

Endefen has helped reduce taking fiber supplement and stool softners...regular functions now. Best of all I have not had a genital herpes outbreak for the past 9 months of taking this supplement....a real POSITIVE side effect. Helps with my acid reflux as well.
