User Reviews for astaxanthin

Bad stabbing pain behind eyes. Stopped taking it and pain stopped.

I originally started talking this brand because I am a runner and in the sun every day. Due to sweating, sunscreen won't stay on. A few times a year a blood vessel in my would burst in my eye looking horrible. It would take a couple weeks for the blood to dissipate. Since I started this, I hardly have this in my eye and if I get it, it's gone that same day. Looking at the list of everything it does, I am less tiresd, muscle recovery is excellent, and my skin is more youthful.

It helped some. It isn't a cure, but it is worth taking if you can afford it in conjunction with treatment through a rheumatologist. Krill oil is usually the cheapest source. Products labeled as solely astaxanthin have less in them for more expensive, and omega threes help with RA too.

Astaxanthin was recommended by my optometrist to slow macular degeneration along with other OTC herbs like Vitamin C,E,Leutin, Zink and Copper.

Been taking only for about a week. I have not noticed any changes yet. I am waiting for it to do something. I have heard it helps with fatigue, cholesterol and other benefits. I will check back in after a few weeks!

This has been a god send. Went from 2mg now on 10mg. I received 31 botox injections for migraines and i thought the side effects were going to kill me. I needed to detox from botox and my friend gave me astaxathin. It took away my dizziness nausea elevated my mood. I will take it the rest if my life

I took astaxanthin for several years as a supplement plus lutein and other supplements recommended for eye sight and prevention of eye disease. In early 2018 I was diagnosed with dry AMD and I upped the dosages plus took nutritional IV therapy for several month. None of this stopped the progression to WET AMD later in 2018 - it was a very fast progression. I don't know why it didn't work for me. I don't smoke, I eat carefully (keto style diet plus some fruit) and exercise and am mentally very active. I hear it worked for a few people. I don't know why it didn't work for me and I'm devastated and afraid of blindness - my prescription has been getting stronger and stronger. I am still able to drive and my ability for finer focus works if I'm using my glasses - maybe the astaxanthin is helping with that. Read More Read Less
