Anyone hear of this? The multivit that I took and reported great results (that later tapered off) had this in it…but only 50mcg. I’ve also realized that the rest of the stuff in the vit has too much of each vit in it (some well over the 100% of Daily recommendation…like 1500 and 2500%). Anyway, Astaxanthin is used in Liver cleansing products. It’s an antioxidant that’s like 500x stronger than vitamin E.
Anyway, I’m gonna try it by itself (as it may have been benenficial for me thru the multivit…but the rest of the vit has too much sh*t in it that my liver gets taxed trying to absorb it).
Anyway, I don’t check the board much at all…but will report back if anything comes of this.
Side note…I’ve taken and discontinued the Mega Man Multivit (GNC) 3 times now (with much time off in between)…and each time I started taking them I felt great (as if I never had any issues before)…then that feeling goes away and I’m back where I started. I don’t have labs while I felt great (wish I did) but I can guarantee my feeling of well being was not placebo (take it for what it’s worth). Was told by a nutritionist that the Astaxanthin may have been what was helping…but the effectiveness was erased after few days as the rest of the vitamin has too much in it.
More to come.
