Joint pain reduction
Most Useful Review
Amazing and powerful antioxidant that actually works. I have degenerative joint disease that I was unaware of until recent diagnosis. Post-surgery, after a few weeks of taking astaxanthin alongside Krill oil, I can feel a significant difference. Other joint supplements failed, but this product has enabled me to reduce Celebrex usage due to pain relief. I highly recommend it for arthritis or inflammatory conditions, pending doctor agreement.

Most Useful Review
I am absolutely taken with astaxanthin, which I consume regularly. It's a powerful antioxidant that protects against ageing and significantly reduces joint and muscle pain. Remarkably, after giving it to a child with a sore throat, the pain vanished within an hour! This supplement is vital for health, leading to smoother skin as well.

It works brilliantly! I take a 4 mg dose once a day, and my vision has improved significantly—I'm reading without glasses now. If I sense I'm catching a cold, I take an extra tablet at night and wake up feeling fresh as a cucumber.

Relieves dryness issues
Most Useful Review
I wear soft contact lenses and used to feel uncomfortable in the evenings due to dryness, often wanting to remove them straight away. Now, I forget to take them out before bed. I've been taking one pill in the morning and one in the evening for about a week, and it's made a significant difference. My speech has also become more fluent, which is great for my customer service job. Astaxanthin is an exceptional antioxidant, with power 6,000 times that of vitamin C and 800 times that of coenzyme Q10, and it can pass through the barrier between the eye and the brain.

Vitiligo treatment
Most Useful Review
Works on vitiligo! Having had it for 50 years, I've seen pigment return, especially in spots. I can’t recall what prompted me to start taking this, perhaps a positive review. If you have newer vitiligo, this might restore your normal skin. Mine has filled in some spots with small dots of pigment. Just amazing!

Completely clear skin
Most Useful Review
This pill has done for me what countless dermatologists and acne treatments couldn't. I began taking this supplement out of concern for sun exposure on vacation. Initially, I saw no difference, but by week one, the cystic acne on my chin started to improve. By week two, my hyperpigmentation was fading. Now, after 4-5 weeks, my skin is completely clear—no redness, it's brighter, tighter, and smoother. I've also been sleeping better, and it has helped with gum inflammation. The only downside is that it can cause more painful periods, but otherwise, I'm delighted.

Positive eye strain relief
Most Useful Review
I take this to prevent eye strain and arteriosclerosis. With its strong antioxidant effect, it's beneficial for the eyes, brain, blood vessel rejuvenation, and anti-aging. As I become more aware of my age, I use it to maintain my physical strength, health, and beauty. Yes, it has a fishy smell. I've been using this along with lutein and zeaxanthin for my eye strain, and I believe it’s helping! I encourage finishing this bottle and moving on to the next; it’s an essential supplement.

Great product! I purchased this based on the Dr Oz show; my initial intent was to improve my eyesight. However, I discovered during my vacation in Arizona in April that I didn’t get sunburnt while enjoying the sun and even developed a lovely golden tan! I can now walk on my wooden floors without shoes, and my feet no longer ache.

Lowered cholesterol
Most Useful Review
This product significantly lowered my cholesterol. At just 1.52m and weighing 42kg, I have a history of high cholesterol, peaking at 9.1. I refused statins due to their adverse effects. A couple of years back, I read about astaxanthin, marketed as a super antioxidant beneficial for eye health. After months of taking it, my cholesterol dropped to 4.5 during my yearly blood test, an unbelievable change. Upon reflection, I realised that the only difference was adding astaxanthin to my routine, and I haven't experienced high cholesterol since. I highly recommend astaxanthin.

Effective skin treatment
Most Useful Review
This product really works! My acquaintance with astaxanthin began with Oriflame cosmetics. Despite living in a fishing area where salmon spawn, I realised that one needs to consume a lot of fish to obtain enough of this beneficial substance. I took Oriflame’s astaxanthin for half a month, then switched to Now Foods due to its GMP quality assurance. After over a month of use, I am convinced of its effectiveness! The pigment spots on my face, which were caused by sun exposure, have faded significantly; they are almost non-existent now! Even without sunscreen, my skin remains clear. Last year, my face was covered in large brown spots, but now I have rid myself of them. It’s tremendously exciting! I feel more youthful and recommend this to everyone!

Pain relief achieved
Most Useful Review
Amazing for neck pain! I have lingering neck and shoulder pain from a three-year-old whiplash injury. This product gave me two pain-free months on just one pill per day. I initially stopped my usual additional calcium-magnesium supplement, believing this would suffice, but after a few weeks, the pain returned, albeit at a lesser intensity. Now, with my daily calcium-magnesium alongside my multivitamins, this product alleviates the stiffness, discomfort, and gnawing pain from my whiplash. I'm absolutely delighted!

This supplement, an easy-to-swallow capsule, makes falling asleep effortless and helps prevent idle thoughts that often accompany daily reflections. It is non-addictive and strengthens my hair (alongside zinc). Being a powerful antioxidant, it serves as a precursor for essential hormones needed for good health as one ages. I take it regularly before bedtime without adverse effects.

Most Useful Review
Astaxanthin has been a game changer for my dry eyes. As a soft contact lens wearer, I previously experienced discomfort in the evenings; now, I often forget to remove my lenses before sleeping. I take one pill in the morning and one in the evening, and even within a week, the effects have been remarkable. My speech in customer service flows more fluently! Astaxanthin boasts antioxidant power far exceeding that of vitamin C and is one of the rare substances that crosses the eye-brain barrier.

Improves cancer symptoms
Most Useful Review
Awesome and natural way to heal and promote wellness. This product has effectively minimised cell damage, resulting in significantly healthier skin and hair with fewer grey hairs! While it hasn't completely eliminated my greys, it has substantially decreased their appearance since I began taking this supplement. I highly recommend researching Astaxanthin further. It is an antioxidant that helps reduce oxidation, which plays a role in many diseases, including cancer. It can also reduce inflammation, potentially aiding conditions like rheumatoid arthritis.

I've been taking Astaxanthin twice daily at 4 mg and recently began 12 mg in the morning and 4 mg at night. At 74, my thin skin had been problematic with easy bruising. Initially, one pill helped, but increasing the dose made an incredible difference! My skin feels soft and elastic, and I no longer get cold sores or bruises. I feel youthful again and have abundant energy for my long workdays. This truly works; I highly recommend trying it!

I constantly battle eye strain from working on a computer which has led to frequent headaches. While I find painkillers helpful, taking this product has significantly reduced my fatigue and diminished the frequency of my headaches. I intended to repurchase, but it’s frequently out of stock. Many others who try it feel the same way. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone suffering eye strain from screens!

Listening to very handsome! I consumed a large amount for a month, which astonished my friends. I took flaxseed oil rich in astaxanthin, and the effects have been tremendous. My eyes focus better, I experience less fatigue, and my complexion is much clearer with reduced dark circles. I had persistent swelling in my body, especially in my legs, but now it has almost entirely resolved. There’s been no pain or heaviness, allowing me to walk and stand comfortably for longer periods. I no longer feel the dullness and am truly grateful for this improvement.

Astaxanthin is a reddish pigment and a powerful antioxidant that protects against free radicals, lowering the risk of cancer and heart diseases. After three weeks of taking it, I noticed an improvement in my well-being, alongside a reduction in rashes and increased skin elasticity. The capsule size is easy to swallow, and the taste is hardly noticeable. Just 4 mg is sufficient for daily intake.

Purchased to prevent UV allergies from recurring after a long absence, I bought this as my sunscreen washes off during the recent heatwave. I've noticed I'm getting more hives due to UV rays... Honestly, I don't really notice much difference, but after a month of taking it, I'm observing fewer hives than before! I feel like I’m achieving a normal tan (lol), but my skin turnover is so slow that I can't really tell the difference in my tan! (lol) I also take protein and vitamin C.

Not suitable for some
Most Useful Review
Astaxanthin is an exceptionally potent antioxidant, but some in my household have experienced recurrent heartburn when taking it. We believe this indicates that it may not be appropriate for everyone. It's advisable to consume it with fat-containing meals rather than during small snacks. We reserve Astaxanthin for specific occasions to avoid overuse, as its potency is considerable. It has proven protective during sun exposure and aids skin recovery, and can even be applied directly to cuts for faster healing. Overall, while Astaxanthin is impressive, it requires careful consideration for safe usage—automatic intake is not recommended.
