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.


"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?

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."

Eat your carrots unpeeled, cook your tomatoes and eat Wild Sockeye Salmon
 
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.

beta-carotene study 1

beta-carotene study 2

beta-carotene study 3

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

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

Have you actually yielded results from Lycopene and astax for red tones? They are the most desirable imo but haven’t seen anyone with actual noticeable results.

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

dht is a completely worthless hormone. Just nukes skin and hair for no positive benefit.
 
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.

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

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

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

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.

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