I’ve been taking BioAstin Hawaiian Astaxanthin 12mg for years now, and I’m genuinely impressed with the results. My skin appears more radiant, and I’ve noticed a significant reduction in joint discomfort, especially after long days on my feet. As someone who spends considerable time in front of screens, my eyes feel less strained, which has been a pleasant surprise.I appreciate that this supplement is sourced directly from Hawaii, ensuring its quality and potency. The fact that it’s non-GMO and gluten-free aligns with my dietary preferences, making it a trustworthy addition to my daily routine. The softgels are easy to swallow, and I haven’t experienced any adverse effects.Incorporating BioAstin into my regimen has been a positive step towards supporting my overall health. I plan to continue using it and would recommend it to others seeking a natural antioxidant supplement.

Best astazanthin I’ve used for several years. No sunburns, great source of Vitamin A!

Me and my wife have been taking this product for over 1 year now. The benefits have been different for both of us. The benefits for my wife have been more significant than for me. First, it does help protect you from sun burns and sun damage. I have also noticed a significant improvement in body aches and specifically in my back. I exercise a lot and over the last year, my back pain has been reduced by about 80%. I still feel some shoulder pain, but in general there is a substantial improvement. I have not noticed any improvement with vision and I don't know if I am getting any benefits from the antioxidant properties, but I assume that I am receiving these benefits.Now for my wife, the benefits for her are much more pronounced. She was very skeptical about taking this supplement, but she is fair skinned and always gets sun burned very easily. I can spend all day out in the sun and I come back in with darker skin. She can spend 20 minutes in the sun and she turns into a lobster (sub burned). I told her about the proposed benefits from the sun and said she should try it to see if it works. So we both started taking this about 1 year ago. The effects are not immediate, it takes about 30 to 60 days before you start to notice. First we both noticed that our skin tone was more peach looking, not a huge benefit, but definitely healthier looking. About 90 days after use, my wife started noticing that the sun spots / age spots on her face started to fade. She thought that she was imagining this. After about 3 months, my wife mentioned to me that her freckles / sun spots were almost gone. At that time I told her that this was one of the potential benefits of the Astaxanthin. By the 4th month, my wife's face was clear of age spots. She was absolutely amazed. I was kind of blown away also because the effect was absolutely visible.We know this effect is due to the Astaxanthin for the following reasons. We initially started taking the 4 mg per day. After 30 days, I started purchasing the 12mg product because I read that the benefits were more noticeable. We took 12mg for 4 months, but then I felt it was too expensive so I started purchasing the 4 mg product again.After switching back to the 4mg lower dose, my wife noticed that her age spots had started to come back, not completely, but just started to become visible again. So, she decided to increase her dosage of the Astaxanthin. She increased her dosage by taking 4mg, and then 8mg every other day. So on average 6mg a day. At this dosage her age spots / sun spots are gone. I take 4 mg per day and this seems to work for me.The important factor for Astaxanthin to work is that you must use it consistently with a high quality fish oil. I have been taking fish oil supplements for 10 years, now my wife now takes fish oils and Astaxanthin daily. At this time, my wife will not allow us to run out of Astaxanthin. Astaxanthin is one of the daily supplements that we take.It seems like everyone gets different benefits and my wife just happened to hit the jackpot and gets a huge benefit because of her skin type. I have not noticed any blemishes on myself that have faded, but then again I have skin type that rarely ever burns. I just turn brown. I take the Astaxanthin for the joint relief that it provides to me.Hopefully this is helpful.

I am on my second bottle. I started taking this product when I was living in Hawaii and am very happy that it is available to me as I am no longer there. It was recommended to me by a professional athlete and while I cannot aspire to be one myself, I feel great and feel like I am taking care of myself.

Love it. Keeps me from sunburn and helps with my inflammation. Great product

Amazing and priceless. Probably the most profound product I have purchased all year .

So I purchased these pills with the intent to improve the quality of my skin and to include a high potency antioxidant supplement into my diet. All of the other purported benefits were just gravy. So I took my first pill/gel and a couple hours later I noticed that my eyes felt different. They felt slightly watery, but in a comfortable way, like my eye had been lubricated with eye drops or something. I also noticed that any sensation of eye strain was completely absent after taking a pill/gel. While it didn't improve my vision like others have claimed, it basically made my eyes impervious to strain and I could use my phone, reading small text for hours on end with absolutely zero eye discomfort. They would be worth taking based on this effect alone, but by my second pill I also noticed that after sprinting up 4 flights of stairs I felt zero fatigue and my breathing was slow and steady as if I hadn't moved at all.Its was after the second pill that I began to notice a truly unfortunate side effect. I began to experience a sensitivity/discomfort in my nipples that I had never felt before. I thought it was odd, but I didn't want to immediately attribute it to the astaxanthin. So I waited a few days and tried taking another pill/gel and again I noticed the improvement in my eyes and cardio, but also the same nipple discomfort that became really unbearable.Fortunately I did my research and came to find out that astaxanthin can cause gynecomastia in men. Needless to say, I immediately stopped using the pills and plan on throwing them out. Not sure if I feel comfortable giving them to a female friend as I don't know what sort of side effects it might cause for them.So while the astaxanthin didn't provide me with the skin benefits I was looking for, it did have some upsides and an extremely awful downside. I have to give the product 1 star for not addressing the risk factor associated with consuming the product. I managed to catch on early, but I feel bad for those men that do not.tl;dr Good for eyes and cardio, but causes gyno in men.

A great product I discovered over 20 years ago. Easy to swallow, good protection!
