[itsbrutallyover]

Hello guys, can anyone tell me if astaxanthin is a good supp to take? And how much should I use daily please?

can inhibit dht

A preliminary investigation of the enzymatic inhibition of 5alpha-reduction and growth of prostatic carcinoma cell line LNCap-FGC by natural astaxanthin and Saw Palmetto lipid extract in vitro - PubMed

Low levels of carotenoid astaxanthin inhibit 5alpha-reductase and decrease the growth of human prostatic cancer cells in vitro. Astaxanthin added to SPLE shows greater inhibition of 5alpha-reductase than SPLE alone in vitro.

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

I’ve used this for its anti oxidative purposes and it’s also given me nice red undertones, avoid this if you’re still developing in puberty. 5-AR converts test to DHT and DHT is crucial for development.

I'm 15 years old, I was scared of this, I have a lot of acne and I would like to try it for a month, what do you think?

bro 98% thats bald cell fuel but damn ig no more anthaxthin for me

Isotretinoin will be the best decision of your life

It blocks 98% of the test conversion into DHT so decreasing chances of baldcelmaxxing.

I know but dht is formally for growth, do you recommend I use it for 1/2 months?

In 1 or 2 months a significant change could still occur in your developing body.

I understand, so you advise me not to use it

if that were the case I would have just wasted money

Yes

I have 100+ remaining astaxanthin capsules as well, I might just make it into a cream or something.

 

[realshit]

Yes

I have 100+ remaining astaxanthin capsules as well, I might just make it into a cream or something.

how can you do it

 

[realshit]

Yes

I have 100+ remaining astaxanthin capsules as well, I might just make it into a cream or something.

How long can they stay in the jar before they expire?

This study was done in rats

The effect in humans is much weaker for multiple reasons

It didn’t even specify whether the study was done on humans or rats, the inhibition effect may still be significant in humans even if the study was done on rats (98%).

why

why

"
My final thoughts on astaxanthin -

It does lower DHT
It lowers thyroid and makes you tired
It gives you cold hands

It protects against PUFA in theory
It makes you smell.
In men, it makes their scrotum smell
Astaxanthin capsules stink

Avoid it - absolutely not worth it

"

It is an unsaturated, retinoid like "anti-inflammatory" compound. But as you know there's more than meets the eye. Marketing something as "anti-inflammatory" without knowing deeper implications of these compounds in your body is misleading/evidence of the 'stupidity of science.'

can i use it to treat acne, for example if i use it for 2 months, and how can it decrease thyroid hormones

 

[TalesFromTheSlums]

No, acne can be treated much better with just some Stridex pads, antibiotics, and lowering systemic estrogen.

1. Exemestane, 2-5 mg every 4-6 hours. Optionally, 1 325 mg tablet of aspirin mid-day or early afternoon.

2. Tetracycline, 500 mg to 1 gram EOD for 1-2 weeks max.

3. Stridex or any strong acid, alcohol, salicylic acid 1-2% mix with purified water, applied 2x a day, early and before bed.

damn then I really wasted money

You wouldn't be the first person to do that on this forum. LOL

in any case I'm stubborn to take it and see what happens

I did, look at the study name

"carcinoma cell line LNCap-FGC by natural astaxanthin and Saw Palmetto lipid extract in vitro"

Vitro = outside a living organism

 

[AverageCurryEnjoyer]

its fucking over if you believe this. This shit doesnt block the dht production by all that you monkey. One google search would show you that case.

 

[eduardkoopman]

use that stuff for years now

"98% in-vitro. Astaxantin has very low bioavailability and is extensively metabolised by the liver so these finding are not going to translate outside of in-vitro models. Also 98% is weak, I'd bet you'd measure 99.99% inhibition if you poured dutasteride or finasteride on a cell culture. "

Yeah I’m wrong, I ignored title, do you think this at maximum could block 20% of 5-AR conversion?

 

[DR. NICKGA]

Ye

 

[DR. NICKGA]

Even then 20% is barely nothing

More then 60% reduce of serum dht is needed for hair growth gains

 

[halloweed]

Ye

Naur why did bud edit this from ‘nope’ to ye

Even then 20% is barely nothing

More then 60% reduce of serum dht is needed for hair growth gains

He is still developing

. If you did some reasearch for 5 minutes, you would find that this is talking about in vitro studies.Also, Astaxanthin is gonna be a very potent antioxidant so the benefits are numerous. I ight just hop on anavarso it wouldnt really affect me in the slightest.

Anavar doesn’t increase DHT. DHT is more potent than the derivative.
