A Beta-Carotene/Astaxanthin/Lycopene Supplement is a must in your routine.

It does not get any easier than this.

Beta-Carotene gives your skin a healthy yellowish-reddish tone which has been shown to increase your attractiveness.

Study finds that people are attracted to outward signs of health, not actual health

Findings published in the journal Behavioral Ecology reveal that skin with yellow and red pigments is perceived as more attractive in Caucasian males, but this skin coloring does not necessarily signal actual good health.

"Results indicated that, as predicted, beta-carotene supplementation increased overall yellowness and redness of the skin. Compared to the placebo group, post-supplementation faces in the beta-carotene group were more likely to be chosen as more attractive as well as healthier looking over the pre-supplementation faces."

You're not gonna get anywhere near this level of beta-carotene from your diet, a supplement is necessary (around 15mg beta carotene/a day)

Super cheap and super effective.

Extreme water but good reminder overall, I take around 15-30mg beta carotene per day and some additional Astaxanthin sometimes.

copers will say it's unhealthy, but studies have only shown it's unhealthy for chronic smokers.

Interesting, what is the relationship between smoking and beta carotene intake being unhealthy?

Interesting, what is the relationship between smoking and beta carotene intake being unhealthy?

i never bothered to read the whole study, but this is the conclusion:

"These findings support the conclusion that supplementation with β-carotene increases the risk of lung cancer in smokers regardless of the tar or nicotine content of cigarettes smoked. Our data suggest that all smokers should continue to avoid β-carotene supplementation."

β-Carotene Supplementation and Lung Cancer Incidence in the Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention Study: The Role of Tar and Nicotine - PMC

The Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention (ATBC) Study demonstrated that β-carotene supplementation increases lung cancer incidence in smokers. Further, cigarettes with higher tar and nicotine content are associated with a higher risk of ...

Do everything other than the beta carotene, beta carotene gives a sickly yellowish color to your skin. Lycopene + astaxanthin mimicks red undertones and gives a natural looking tan, which is deemed attractive

the studies all used beta-carotene instead of lycopene/astaxanthin, so your conclusion is invalid and just anecdotal/hearsay.

Carotenoid skin colouration enhances face and body attractiveness: A cross-cultural study - PubMed

Previous research has indicated that faces with higher levels of skin carotenoid colouration are perceived as healthier and more attractive. However, it is not known whether this preference is specific to faces or reflects a more generalised preference in biological stimuli: for example...

Beta carotene should only be taken in Youre pale white or in the very upper shade of light brown anything below that would make you look worse and astaxanthin only works on people who are white or light brown with red undertones/pink or with no undertones and Lycopene should be taken by everyone the only one which works on everyone

Lycopene helps me.

Lycopene helps me.

Fr I’ve been on 3 and half months 6mg but the first month I was with beta carotene so I literally got a yellow shade cause I’m medium brown so I had to switch one which didn’t have beta carotene and I can say it is effective the colour of my palm is red and my leg it is usually very visible when I’m doing some exercise or during hot weathers but yea for more results I need to take it for atleast 7 months and with that should eat tomatoes too everyday

3 months of beta carotene didn't work for me

Carrot skin nowadays has pesticides

 

[asdvek]

OP what do u think abt it lowering dht?

I'm afraid that might affect some things like erection quality and whatever

How much does it lower DHT? Significant or insignificant

Dht is to maintain secondary sexual characteristic not primary, testosterone maintains erections, libido, muscle mass, bone density, masculine features

 

[Sator]

Astaxanthin is cope <24mg. Also, many aesthetic supplements including all the aforementioned fall under the category of antioxidant. Gymmaxxers should avoid antioxidant supplementation within the peri-workout window. Keep it 2-4 hours before or after a workout to prevent interference with MSP.

 

[SlayerJonas]

i've been taking 7mg beta carotene for 3 weeks and seen 0 results - how long before you saw results

Bro wtf rep all my messages in the thread and I'll give you a good reply

[chadisbeingmade]

i've been taking 7mg beta carotene for 3 weeks and seen 0 results - how long before you saw results

Take 15mg.

That’s the dose used in study’s IIRC.

 

[chadisbeingmade]

ok i'll just supp 2 a day ig , I think i have seen small results but who knows

And add lycopene for red tones so you don’t just end up yellow and look jaundiced.

Why not mt1/mt2 mt2 works great
I’d try this but I don’t want lung cancer

 

[chadisbeingmade]

can't find any on amazon

Blud you live on the UK as well no? There are tonnes there.

 

[chadisbeingmade]

only pure lycopene i can find is £33 for 180 tablets

£33 for half a year isn’t expensive at all.

 

[chadisbeingmade]

Only if you used to smoke.

 

[chadisbeingmade]

im broke

Refund method and get it free.

 

[SlayerJonas]

done

Good.

Take 15mg.

That’s the dose used in study’s IIRC.

Thats the exact dosage I'm using.

I started with around 30mg for 2-3 weeks to make the beta carotene saturate faster.

Now my maintainance is 15mg every day, I'll either maintain that dosage or use 1/2 ed / 15mg eod

I saw results after around 1-2 months, I got told my skin tone looks a lot healthier / (more tanned?)

The antioxidant effects are also another benefit.

dont combine it with vitamin A though or only take small amounts as BA converts into vit A

 

[slaters]

Only if you used to smoke.

I’ve smoked since 13 and still do at 17
I might try a glp1 or cerebryolysin to get off

Refund method and get it free.

#2 Best method for poor people

 

[slaters]

what is the refund method? just say it came damaged? and wtf do i even say like the tablets were crushed or sm shi

Say it never came if you say it’s broken you might have to send it back.
A better method is just calling your bank and getting it disputed but I’d only recommend this for semi big orders because there’s a limit on how many times you can say that

A better method if you have no money is stealing it straight from the store

Mirin. What’s the skin tone improvement like? Like my pfp?

What’s first? Mother’s credit card? JFL

I would try GLP1. Solved my binging on food.

I wouldn’t have thought that smokers would be at risk tbh. Never heard that smokers shouldn’t eat carrots or sweet potatoes for example.

i'll just say it didn't arrive ig - i haven't done it before so it shouldn't be a problem

Don’t do that. Half the time they take a photo of the package next to the door.

 

[slaters]

whats #1?

Shoplifting directly

 

[slaters]

Directly stealing from the store

 

[chadisbeingmade]

what do you suggest?

Just say the pills bottle was already open or something like that. That’s what I did, and they asked to see a picture and I just showed them the bottle I opened myself.

I feel like cancer is propaganda 90% of the time anyways

Would I even benefit from lycopene/betacarotene if I already use mt2?
Would lycopene undertone compliment the mt2

Lycopene is red tones which is a good health indicator imo. I don’t think there’s harm in combining. MT2 will do most the work, and carotenes will allow healthy glow as well. They work differently.

 

[chadisbeingmade]

they just send a new one no?
they don't refund

No I said I wanted a redund and they gave it.

 

[chadisbeingmade]

Does it look like carotene has done anything to me

How can I tell without a before picture?

I would also wait 1-2 months to see any substantial change. And you are using a dosage that’s too low. Take 4 of your 7mg (28mg) caps for the first month or 2 then drop down to 2 caps (14mg). like @Jonas2k7 did.
